For the majority of Breaking Bad's run, Skyler White was the subject of immense vitriol -- moreso than any other member of its morally gray cast. Fans of Breaking Bad viewed Bryan Cranston's protagonist Walter White as the everyman.
Walter White in 'Breaking Bad'
There's no denying that Walter White is a calculated genius when he isn't letting his ego get in his way.
Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis)
Hector is a hateful, abusive man. He is prone to evil because he enjoys the pain he causes. He has respect for some family members, but overall, he is a man consumed by bitterness.
Numerous characters in television shows are informally described as psychopaths. Examples include Natalie Buxton in Bad Girls, Sean Slater and Michael Moon in EastEnders, Dexter Morgan in Dexter, Tuco Salamanca in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and Frank Underwood in House of Cards.
Gus's calculated action and emotional indifference attest to his psychopathic nature. Gus does not hesitate to eliminate him in the grand scheme of controlling Walter and Jesse to secure his business. Another illustration of Gus's psychopathic qualities appears in season four, episode eleven (“Crawl Space”).
Up to this point, Gus is portrayed as the smartest person on the show, matched only by Walter White in Breaking Bad. In spite of this, Lalo is able to believably outmaneuver him at nearly every turn.
She is highly intelligent and capable at accounting and money laundering, allowing her to deduce Walter's second life with little to no information at her disposal. Disgusted by Walter's moral decline which she has fallen victim to, Skyler is a pragmatist willing to do whatever it takes to keep her family together.
Out of all the main characters, Walter Jr. is definitely the show's most innocent one (except for baby Holly). Despite this, Walter Jr. has done some questionable things, yet they're all done out of ignorance. He doesn't actually know what is going on, having no idea that his father is a hardened criminal.
Skyler and Jane
Interestingly enough, the two most important ladies in Walt and Jesse's life never met each other. Jane is introduced in the second season of Breaking Bad as Jesse's next-door neighbor and eventual love interest.
There is only one television episode with a perfect score on IMDb, and that deservingly goes to "Ozymandias." The highest-rated Breaking Bad episode and in TV history, the episode is a knockout emotional rollercoaster and a masterclass in dramatic storytelling.
Funnily enough, Rian Johnson has the distinction of directing Breaking Bad's highest-rated episode (season 5's "Ozymandias") and its lowest-rated, season 3's "Fly." The former sees Walter White's life crumble around him in a devastating and visceral fashion, while the latter sees him hunting a fly in his meth lab, as ...
Unlike his other rivals such as Walter White, Gus was highly fearful of Lalo due to his cunning and resilience.
Lalo died smiling as a nod to the maniacal personality he carried throughout life, but also to stress the satisfaction he derived from having been right about Gus. The familiar, creepy smirk was one final act of rebellion. Even in his most painful moment, he refused to let Gus see a glimmer of defeat on his face.
Maximino Arciniega was born in Chile and grew up in poverty in the "Santiago Slums". He at one point met Gustavo Fring and the two became extremely close to one another.
Gus's depiction as a gay man has received praise as an example of a compelling antagonist driven by his sexuality.
The most gruesome and gory scene in the series occurs in episode two when Walt and Jesse have to disolve a dead body. A man walks out of a room with half his face blown off. A severed leg is seen in the background during this briefly.
Krysten Ritter is an American actress who played Jane Margolis on Breaking Bad and El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.
His character, Gus, has autism spectrum disorder, which Marullo said was "what is so great about Tracy Beaker: it helps children understand that everyone is different".
After Max was killed in front of his eyes, the loss of such an emotional and possible romantic factor of his life snapped Gustavo into a ruthless crime lord.
The sides of his personality — sociopath and family man, scientist and killer, rational being and creature of impulse, entrepreneur and loser — are not necessarily as contradictory as we might have supposed. Or rather, if we insist on supposing that they are, it may be for our own sentimental reasons.
He went from being the overgrown jock brother-in-law of Walt to showing off his excellent investigative skills. Killing Tuco also lead Hank to struggle with symptoms of PTSD, adding more complexity to Hank's character.
