Breaking Bad is a Television drama (set in New Mexico) about a part-time chemistry teacher named Walter H White who falls into a world of dysfunction and crime after he is informed that he has Stage III Lung Cancer. His main target was to ensure a financial future for his family but he does this by using his chemistry background to cook up something really big that changed his life forever... But not all for the good.
Who are the Characters?
Walter H White (Bryan Cranston), Skyler White (Anna Gunn)
Walter White Jr (RJ Mitte), Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul)
Hank Schrader (Dean Norris), Marie Schrader (Betsy Drandt)
Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), Gus (Giancarlo Esposito)
Who is the target audience?
Breaking Bad is rated 18 due to it's sadistic violence and drug references meaning that they do not advise anyone under the age of 18 years old to watch the programme. Statistically most of the people who watch Breaking Bad are under 35 and a huge part of the viewers were 17 years old.
What is the Genre?
Breaking Bad's genre is mainly crime but its sub-genre is a thriller as it is exciting and contains espionage.
What sort of people are the characters representing?
The characters in Breaking Bad are represented as people who are living a normal lifestyle no different to anyone else but are always in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Are there any stereotypes in Breaking Bad?
In my opinion I think that the only stereotype in the programme is Jesse Pinkman. This is because he plays the role of a troublemaker who is exceedingly deficient. He is stereotypical because he is immature and inattentive like a stereotypical male teenager.
