- Severe
- Many people are killed throughout but most are just shootings with some blood. There are some messy crime scenes with bloody imagery.
- The show has lots of violent moments throughout ie people being shot with blood and gore shown. Most of the violence isn't that graphic though besides in a few particular parts such as the bathtub scene and box cutter scene. This show is very violent
- While brutal and disturbing violence does occur, it is not the focus of the show.
- Some violence includes children with a small child being poisoned offscreen, a child being shot and killed onscreen, a child shooting a man to death and another child being killed offscreen. It is also heavily implied younger teenagers, children and babies die in a plane crash.
- One man slits another man's throat. Blood spurts out and the other man is covered in it. The man who slits the throat also doesn't blink throughout the entire sequence, making the scene even more disturbing. This lasts about 20 seconds. He is then dissolved in acid (offscreen but aftermath shown). This is probably the goriest scene aside form the bathtub scene in season 1. We see the barrel filled with gore, blood, skeleton and guts.
- Bodies are dissolved in acid 5 times. It is shown twice and implied three times. We never see the actual dissolving, only the aftermath.
- A man poisons multiple people at a party, the scene ends with a shoot out. Some blood can be seen.
- An extremely intense shootout takes place in a car park. Lots of blood and some gore. One man is shot through the head at this point, which sprays blood and gore everywhere and leaves him with a massive hole in his skull.
- The show is extremely violent but most of it isn't particularly graphic and it is just shootings with substantial amounts of blood and gore shown. There are a few parts where it gets more graphic and these parts become more frequent.
- Moderate to strong violence throughout some instances are pretty graphic. Depends on the episodes however as some episodes contain mostly moderate to slightly strong violence but some episodes contain much bloodier, brutal and occasionally even gorier death scenes and violence.
- A man is shot in the head, blood sprays onto another mans face and then bleeds out over a pool and the water becomes completely red. This is pretty graphic and is shown for a fairly long time.
- Season 4 is easily the most violent season, it has a couple really graphic bloody scenes that have a focus on bloodshed and injury.
- Infrequent graphic violence
- There tends to be less frequent but very violent scenes, for example at one point a man's head is crushed by an ATM machine, this is not shown but you hear a graphic sound and a bit of blood.
- The characters fake someone's death at one point and it looks like brain matter and blood came from there head. They weren't actually killed though.
- A guy gets shot in the balls.
- Season 5 is the least violent season as it focuses more on tension, characters and suspense, but still contains grisly images of the aftermath, violence, crime scenes, a brutal prison stabbing montage, an intense bloody shootout in the finale and some other tamer acts of violence.
- Walter runs over 2 gang bangers with his car one dies instantly and the other lays there with a visible disfigured and broken leg. He crawls to pick up a gun with a pretty nasty gash on his forehead but Walter gets to the gun before him then shoots him in the head and blood splats onto the pavement.
- Tuco beats a henchman to death in front of Walt and Jesse. This is shown once at the very end of Season 1, and it is shown again in the first episode of Season 2. This is very intense although we don't directly see most of the impact only brief flashes, but lots of blood can still be seen.
- A body melts through a bathtub at the end of the second episode. We see the melted body, gore, bone, blood and guts burst and spill through the floor. This continues into episode 3 where we see Walt and Jesse clean it up this is extremely gory. We see lots of meat, blood and a piece of the mans skull they're seen flushing the remains of all the blood and gore down the toilet and hosing blood of themselves.
- The most gruesome and gory scene in the series occurs in episode two when Walt and Jesse have to disolve a dead body.
- A man walks out of a room with half his face blown off. A severed leg is seen in the background during this briefly.
- A man held hostage in a car watches as his girlfriend is shot in the back of the head and killed. We see this from a far with mild blood and smoke coming from the gun shot. However it's extremely brief and jump cuts to the mans reaction. Not graphic but very upsetting.
- In a somewhat bizarre sequence of events a mans severed head is seen on top of a turtle with a big pool of blood on the turtles shell. When a man picks it up the turtle explodes as the head was rigged to a bomb. A big explosion goes off and we see the aftermath with several dead men with severed limbs and burn marks. One can be seen screaming in pain with his leg blown off with the bone sticking out and blown off leg infront of him. Some injury, blood and severed body parts can be seen very briefly.
- A man is snipped through the head we see this on slow motion, lots of blood splats onto a truck behind him and we see a close up of his body with a big bullet hole through the head surrounded by a pool of blood.
- There are 2 occasions in the show where someone is realistically choked to death. One happens in the third episode, and the other is in the last episode. We also hear the mans neck break before he dies in as this occurs the last episode. Both scenes are equally disturbing. Another one occurs in season 4 but it's fairly brief and not as graphic as these 2
- A man kills himself through electrocution on screen. This isn't bloody or gory but still disturbing.
- A mans arm is crushed and torn off, we don't see this happen but see the after math and it's pretty gory. It also has a brief blood splat. Hank lays next the corpse and makes jokes and asks for men to take a photograph of it.
- Leonel notices Walt looking at him through the door window in a hospital. His legs are severed and bandaged the blood starts leaking through the bandages and leaves a blood trail as he drags himself along the floor
- A character named Gus Fring has half of his face graphically blown off, leaving him looking like Two-Face from "The Dark Knight" in the aftermath. It's only on-screen for about 6 seconds but it's definitely the most graphic shot in the whole show, as we can see that he's missing an eye, and several pieces of torn skin tissue and bone can be seen as well (including having charred flesh, and missing part of his jaw). This scene is extremely gory and disturbing, but also kind of darkly comedic.
- In Season 4 Episode 13, we can see Gustavo Fring's skull, muscle, and a bunch of blood.
- A prisoner is burned alive in his cell. The scene is very graphic and disturbing.
