10 Breaking Bad Season 1 Moments That Prove Walter White Was Always Evil

10 When Walter Decides To Start Cooking Meth Season 1, Episode 1, “Pilot”

It is hard to pinpoint the exact moment Walter White decided to enter a life of crime and start cooking crystal meth to make money for his family. The pilot episode of Breaking Bad featured several important moments in Walt’s sinister realization he could make a lot of money if he entered the meth game.
