As one of the most critically acclaimed shows of all time, Breaking
Bad explored the life and crimes of a high school chemistry teacher
turned meth kingpin of the American Southwest. As Walter White and
his former student Jesse Pinkman become deeply entwined in the drug
world, their narrative leaves a trail of bodies strewn across the
show's five seasons-a story that resulted in more than 15 Emmy
awards. In Breaking Bad: A Cultural History, Lara C. Stache offers
an engaging analysis of the program, focusing on the show's
fascinating characters and complex story lines. Stache gives the
show its due reverence, but also suggests new ways of understanding
and critiquing the series as a part of the larger culture in which
it exists. The author looks at how the program challenges viewers
to think about the choices made in the narrative, analyzes what did
and did not work, and determines the program's cultural
significance, particularly its place in twenty-first century
America. The author also explores how Breaking Bad grapples with
themes of morality, legality, and anti-drug rhetoric and looks at
how the marketing of the series influenced the ways in which
television shows are now promoted. Breaking Bad: A Cultural History
captures the spirit of the series and examines how the show had an
impact on viewers like no other program. This book will be of
interest to fans of the show as well as to scholars and students of
television, media, and American popular culture.
