They're all just basically different versions of the same general plot.

They're character driven tho. Walt and Marty are complete opposites, despite ending up in similar situations.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


That's a little more vague than "Local everyman (or woman in the case of Weeds) starts small illegal business just to get by, ends up becoming a Czar of said business"

All three were great shows. Some of my favorites, but while I was watching Breaking Bad, I couldn't help but think "This is Weeds with a bigger budget and better writing".

Except Weeds was terrible because Jenji Kohan is a hack.

"Sheltered middle-aged suburbanite goes through life-altering tragedy and drifts further and further into the seedy world of drug-dealing to maintain lifestyle" does generally describe Weeds and BrBa (can't speak for Ozark), but that's pretty much where the similarities end.

I only saw the first season of Ozark, but I don't think it's all that similar to Breaking Bad beyond the surface level.

I think the biggest difference being that he didn't try to hide it. The first time it really differentiated itself from Breaking Bad is when the kids are demanding to know why they've suddenly uprooted their entire lives and the mom just bluntly tells them that he's laundering money for a drug cartel.

Breaking Bad: Manufacturing and distribution
Ozark: Financials, money laundering, political influence
Weeds: Research and development

Weeds is funny and doesn't take itself seriously

BB is way different

The first few seasons of Weeds when they are living in their neighborhood are amazing. Kevin Nealon carries that show from start to finish.

Weeds started out as such a good show, then became so awful

Which show does that describe? Weeds or Breaking Bad?

Weeds had an entirely different tone, I understand the comparison, but Weeds aimed for comedic moments pretty often. Looking at the plots, summaries, without watching any of the shows, yes they are very similar.
