Breaking Bad



Breaking Bad

In the main cast of breaking bad there is two women, and about 5 men and a baby. The ages of the actors range from 16-54 and the baby under 1. There was an overweight guy in the show but they killed him off. The leading role is held by a man. Some of the unimportant women characters dress rather provocatively, because the scene was in a strip club, but the main cast dress casual, or business. The main women in the cast are sisters, one is a thief that sees a therapist for her stealing problem and her husband a DEA agent, the other one is a mother of 2, the baby and 16 year old and her husband is the main character is a chemist and teacher, in the first season he had been diagnosed with lung cancer and given only 6 months to live, the families financial situation was not looking good, so he had to think of a quick way to make a lot of money for his family for when he was gone, and he did that by making methamphetamine.After his wife found out she was very unhappy and decided to sleep with her boss, which kind of portrays her to being a whore in my eyes. None of the characters are homosexuals. The intended audience is adults because there is drug use, violence, and swearing.Overall I don't think that show accurately portrays women, because in real life if a womans husband has cancer and had risked everything for his family to be financially set when he was dead, I think his wife might show him some love, considering he is going to die and not go sleeping around. Even if she doesn't agree with what he did, he did it all for her and the kids.
