Some of the biggest science-based moments in "Breaking Bad" are at least usually sound

Summary

Nutrition label

52% Informative

The AMC drama "Breaking Bad" followed the downward spiral of high school chemistry teacher Walter White after he was diagnosed with cancer and decided to make and distribute meth.

The show consulted with advisers like Dr. Donna Nelson , a chemistry professor at the University of Oklahoma , to try and keep the show at least rooted in reality.

While some things are exaggerated for the sake of drama, the chemistry concepts are usually sound.

"Breaking Bad" may have fudged the science a little in the name of compelling TV, but it ended up being one of the best shows of all time.

"Mythbusters Jr." would later tackle season 5's magnet caper only to discover that it, too, was the stuff of science fiction and not fact.
