About the series

A high school chemistry teacher, Walter White, is a quiet and modest man who, after receiving a devastating diagnosis, decides to secure his family’s financial future. Using his expertise, he begins producing methamphetamine with his former student, Jesse Pinkman. What initially seems like a desperate way to make money gradually pulls Walter deeper into the criminal underworld. As his profits grow and his reputation among criminals becomes stronger, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to stop. His concern for his family slowly gives way to a thirst for power, transforming an ordinary teacher into a man willing to cross one boundary after another to maintain control.
