Vince Gilligan Reveals the One Detail About Jesse Pinkman That Still Bothers Him to This Day
Breaking Bad has left an indelible mark on television history, with its gripping storyline, complex characters, and meticulous attention to detail. But even a show as beloved and critically acclaimed as this one isn’t immune to the occasional oversight. And according to the show’s creator, Vince Gilligan, there’s one detail in the final episode that still bothers him ten years later—Jesse Pinkman’s teeth.
