Vince Gilligan originally planned for 'Breaking Bad' to be set in Riverside, California, but financial incentives from New Mexico led to filming in Albuquerque.
The show's setting in Albuquerque influenced later storylines due to its proximity to the Mexico border, which Gilligan considers lucky despite it not being his initial choice.
To ensure authenticity, the DEA consulted on the show, teaching actors Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul how to make crystal meth correctly.
In a notable scene, the use of hydrofluoric acid to dissolve a body was tested by 'Mythbusters', which disproved its realistic effectiveness.
