Breaking Bad is my default answer, but here's another one: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Tight, engaging plot in an interesting world with unique German aesthetics, cool side characters with great character arcs, killer soundtrack and animation that hits at the right times without looking like computer effects bonanza (looking at you, Ufotable), evocative magic system hitting just the right spot of the hard vs soft magic spectrum...
Everything in Breaking Bad stems from the wife being a removed. Well, like the first 2 or so seasons I watched.
Why in the world would you buy an RV and try to cook out in the middle of nowhere?
Like that's the dumbest plan of all. Difficult, and you stick out like a sore thumb.
"Hunny, I'm dying from cancer. I'm going to play with my chemistry set in the basement. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING. Thanksss"
Cooks meth, sells it to Tuco, the end.
Everything becomes so complicated in the show because it wouldn't be a show without it being complicated.
It's like the writers just said "How can we stop Walt getting to his goal?" And did that every episode.
Oh no, what's going to happen in this episode to make cooking meth hard?
