7. Definitely good choices....

Regarding Breaking Bad..... the little details emerge with binging....like the color schemes for characters...so many fine details...

Snip from Google:

Visual & Scene Details Symbolic Color Coding:
The creators meticulously assigned distinct color palettes to the characters. Walter begins in bland beige, Skyler wears blue, Jesse is associated with yellow, Marie obsessively wears purple, and Hank wears orange.

The Swimming Pool:
The White family pool serves as an ongoing motif of decay and impending doom, holding objects like a dirty Band-Aid, a burned teddy bear, and acting as the site of Skyler's symbolic breakdown."Felina" Anagram: The title of the series finale isn't just a nod to Marty Robbins's song "El Paso"; it’s also an anagram for "finale" and references the chemical elements Iron ((Fe)), Lithium ((Li)), and Sodium ((Na)).

I need to binge the Wire....just saying...
