One thing that didnt feel real in Breaking Bad is that the gangsters were all business

You can't get into that life without being trusted and knowing each other
Ppl usually grow up with each other

shyt like Hector trying to force Nacho to have his father cooperate in the business probably would have came about a different way

All the underli gs act like mercenaries that work for a corp, and not like they came up with each other at all


Wasn’t prop Joe all business? Avon? The Greeks? What we talking about here bro?

The unrealistic thing was the idea that you can murder an entire cartel and walk.
Gus was part of the cartel so he knew the hierarchy and who to eliminate at the top. Like he said all of the bosses were dead so there was no one left for the goons to fight for.

Breaking bad isn't really all that concerned with realism. It's a very story driven/character. It ain't like the wire

Yeah I know and I'm cool with it for the most part

That just broke my suspension of disbelief

Like Gus is running a criminal enterprise with no day ones

Or if he has them they aren't highlighted

That, and Nacho fukking two meth heads

and letting them stay in his house

Breaking bad is a superhero cac fantasy. No way Walter goes into tucos office and pulls that stunt without being killed


I get they had a show to do but come the fukk on. Then later on he pulling on prison hits from the streets, since when the fukk he would ever get pull like that

Don't get me started on that fan pandering ass ending smh

Most overrated show in the history of mankind

I always wondered what was the point of being a drug dealer if you going to work at q chicken restaurant and not show it off

Gus probably had a harem of twinks back at a secret mansion
That was an excellent cover, and great for money laundering. He became a respected pillar of the community, and gave back, not only to stay under the radar, but rub elbows with all the powerful people in the city.

He was cool with the mayor, police chief, was shaking hands with Hank, etc. They knew about the operation, but didn’t think to connect it to him.

He didn’t have a sprawling mansion like Lalo, or the rest of the cartel.

Always wondered this. Eladio was supposed to be plugged in with the biggest most violent cartel in Mexico. No way they’d just let Fring get away with that.


All the money they were bringing in. The cartel would definitely notice

Eladio and everyone at the party was boss level. in theory after they poison all the bosses.. who really there to be the lead?
