These 7 Crime Shows Are Much Better Than 'Breaking Bad'

In 2008, we were presented with a question: What would you do if you had cancer, and decided that your dead-end job wasn't cutting it anymore? For Walter White (Bryan Cranston), that answer was simple: get into the drug game. That was the premise for Breaking Bad, created by Vince Gilligan, and produced as a neo-Western crime drama. Starring Cranston, who was coming off of a career-making role as Hal on the Fox sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, Breaking Bad would go on to be a transformative series, earning numerous awards and being regarded as one of the greatest TV series of all-time.
