The expression "breaking bad" means to turn to a life of crime, and that is what this show is about. Walter White created and sold crystal meth to better the life of his family. The show was about the situations and misfortunes that Walter White and Jesse Pinkman encountered as they sold crystal meth.

In the episode "Felina," Walter White is on the run during a manhunt. He must return to New Mexico to deliver the drug money to his family. During this time, Walter White is aware that his time is limited, and the cancer will soon take his life.
