Watching “Breaking Bad” was an
awesome experience of my life. Without a doubt, I have never seen this kind of
television show in my life. It is the highest rated T.V show ever in the
history. It is an American crime drama television series created and produced by
Vince Gilligan. The show originally aired on the AMC network for five seasons,
from January 20, 2008 to September 29, 2013. The main character is Walter White
(Bryan Cranston), a struggling high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed
with inoperable lung cancer at the beginning of the series. He turns to a life
of crime, producing and selling crystallized methamphetamine, in order to secure
his family's financial future before he dies, teaming with his former student,
Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). The show was set and produced in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. It has five seasons with outstanding acting, production and direction.
Moreover this show has 100 percent scientific accuracy.
Donna Nelson, a professor of organic chemistry at the University of Oklahoma,
checked scripts and provided dialogue. She also drew chemical structures and
wrote chemical equations which were used as props. According to creator Vince
Gilligan,
Dr. Donna Nelson from the University of Oklahoma approached us several seasons
back and said, "I really like this show, and if you ever need help with the
chemistry, I'd love to lend a hand." She's been a wonderful advisor. We get help
wherever we need it, whether it's chemistry, electrical engineering, or physics.
We try to get everything correct. There's no full-time [advisor] on set, but we
run certain scenes by these experts first.
