Great moments of boldness, discomfort, schadenfreude, vengeance, grandiosity, and (occasionally misplaced) supreme confidence, are here presented from the nearly mythical television drama Breaking Bad. Featured is actor Bryan Cranston, as Walter White, with Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring, and Dean Norris as Hank.
