This ground-breaking television show had viewers glued to their seats. Walter White and the strong ensemble of characters aroused powerful reactions about survival and the excitement and horror of living on the edge. This event will look at Walter, Jesse, and other characters, in addition to the motivation and addiction through a drive theory lens. We will invite participants to share their impressions of the show and ask the question: How long did you root for Walter?
