7 Legendary TV Characters Who Deserve A Prequel Spin-Off
3. Jesse Pinkman - Breaking Bad
Jesse Pinkmans character progression is nothing short of revolutionary in the world of TV. So many characters remain a constant throughout the show, but the ethos of Breaking Bad was always change. No one is the same by the end of the five season run, if they managed to survive that long. Jesses arc from goofy meth dealer to tragic antihero is magnificent and painful viewing, and the clues as to where he came from and how he came to become a minor player in the drug world are played out nicely in the early seasons, and through his often-turbulent relationship with his former High School chemistry teacher, Mr Walter White. The prequel show for Jesse Pinkman would take him back to his High School days, with Jesse becoming a darker version of Ferris Bueller as he rebels against his well-to-do family and breaks bad, albeit on a smaller scale than where he ends up. There could be some amazing schemes with Badger and Skinny Pete involved, and will feature a hilarious cameo from a cancer and meth-free Walter White, who is constantly angered at how Jesse refuses to apply himself.
