in healthcare, family, and the consequences of one's actions. The characters always face new

step on anyone to achieve his goals. Some characters, such as Walter's wife, Skyler White,
grow from rejecting all crime to starting a money laundering business in order to keep Walter out
of legal trouble. Due to the show's attention to detail and nuanced portrayal of its characters'
development over time, viewers become emotionally invested in their fates over time(Cohen).

cinematography, clever camera work, and breathtaking visual effects. Bryan Cranston and
Aaron Paul provide remarkable performances as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, respectively,
prompting viewers not to doubt the storyline due to the excellent acting. The script is
continuously exceptional, with each episode building on the last to create a seamless and
