In the latest episode of Vanity Fair’s “Psych of a Psycho” YouTube series (previous subjects include Game of Thrones’ “hideous and vile” juvenile criminal King Joffrey), host Candice DeLong, a former FBI profiler, breaks down the psychology of Breaking Bad’s Walter White.
As anyone who’s seen the show can attest, Walter’s evolution from cancer-stricken chemistry teacher driven to desperate measures, to power-mad egomaniac fond of jaunty hats, is one of TV’s most searingly memorable character arcs. Watch this short video to learn more about what motivated his crimes … and what propelled him forward once he got into “the empire business.”
