In a different wording, the impact of Breaking Bad on television is far-reaching, even without any official spinoffs. This groundbreaking series set new standards for drama on TV, introducing themes such as dark storylines, complex antiheroes who undergo significant transformations, and unpredictable character deaths. While many attempts to replicate Breaking Bad’s success have fallen short, Netflix’s own imitation, Ozark, came remarkably close to equaling its greatness. Although Ozark shares similarities with Breaking Bad, it also maintains a distinctive style and identity of its own.
