I'm not sure if it was mentioned in this thread before, but I read an interesting post at some point about the alternative narrative in Breaking Bad. This narrative follows Hank, a more traditional protagonist good guy out to solve the crime and take down the bad guys.
If you think about it, that story would be pretty run of the mill stuff and perhaps that's how the germ of Breaking Bad first took shape. What if you followed the bad guy instead and watched his transformation from regular wimp to criminal mastermind?
