Why You Should Watch Breaking Bad: A Journey into the Dark Side of Ambition

In the vast landscape of television drama, few shows have carved their names in history quite like Breaking Bad. This American neo-Western crime drama created by Vince Gilligan aired from January 20, 2008, to September 29, 2013.
