Malcolm in the Middle and Breaking Bad
I see them as spiritual parallels to each other, a lot of oddly similar parallels between Hal and Walt.
So, this is how I see the shows in a nutshell:
Malcolm in the Middle - when Bryan Cranston's character gets a lot of sex.
Breaking Bad - when Bryan Cranston's Character gets almost no sex.
The show tone, character arcs, emotional states, and everything else all flows out of this single difference between the two.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
