Breaking Bad: 7 Flaws That Nobody Seems To Have Noticed

7. It's Incredibly Sexist

There, I said it - Breaking Bad is a showcase of sexism. Think about it; can you, off the top of your head, imagine a scene where Skyler is funny of her own accord? Does she ever have any problems that aren't showcased as affecting Walt, or another of her male connections? The only real insights to her life as given purely to demonstrate the repercussions for her husband. And the "I f*cked Ted" line? Cringe-worthy, to say the least. Then there's Jane, who enters the show as this neurotic, fleeting tattoo artist (with no tattoos) and quickly becomes the femme-fatale character. Luring Jesse in quickly, he in turn is used briefly as a foil character - to show Jane's weakness. Despite being in recovery, as soon as she's offered more drugs, she succumbs to Jesse's offers. It didn't even take any convincing, did it Jane? In fact, she is the one that lures Jesse to heroin in the first place. Showing all the signs of the heroine, getting Jesse his money from the evil Mr. White, Jane promises they'll get clean and use the money to leave and start afresh together... only, of course, after they finish their remaining heroin. That night, as we all know, the dumb chick only goes and chokes to death on her own vomit. Thus, showcasing another fine Jesse moment where we see him in that despicable state in rehab - even after death Jane is attempting to emasculate Jesse. A heroine struck down by heroin - oh, the irony. Do any of our male protégés fall victim to drug addiction to the extent that it is strong enough to take their life? Of course not.
