The series also includes symbolism, like the pink teddy bear, and its use of color to enhance storytelling. Breaking Bad has become one of the most acclaimed television shows of all time, spawning a franchise that includes Better Call Saul and El Camino.

CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

The show's title, "Breaking Bad," is a Southern colloquialism that means "raising hell". However, it also has a broader meaning, which can mean to "go wild" or "defy authority".

Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, had previously worked on the science fiction series The X-Files. He wanted to create a series where the protagonist becomes the antagonist, going from "Mr. Chips into Scarface".

The initial concept for Breaking Bad was that the main characters would cook meth in an RV and drive around the country to make money. This concept came about when Gilligan was joking with a fellow X-Files writer about being unemployed.

The show was initially set to be filmed in Riverside, California, but it was moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico because of the financial incentives. The story setting was then changed to match the production's location.
