Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad tells the story of a quiet chemistry teacher who, after a life changing diagnosis, starts making meth to leave money for his family. As he goes deeper into crime, fear, power, and pride begin to change him, and his double life slowly destroys the people around him. As one of the best TV shows of all time, it is also great for English learners because it mixes clear everyday speech with strong emotional dialogue.
