Breaking Bad wasn’t about a poor guy who couldn’t afford medical care. That was only a catalyst.
There have been left wing media that critiques specific aspects of capitalism. But regardless of intent, the capitalists have monetized anti capitalism. Something something we let the anti capitalist movies do anti capitalism for us so we an consume in peace

Oh, this is also true, but I still stand by what I originally said.
And as for Breaking Bad, it's obviously not that deep, I would argue, and it doesn't take on capitalism directly.
Yes, the cancer was a catalyst and the lack of medical care, but I don't think that it quite makes capitalism center stage or even really critiques it without being needlessly vague.
At best, it's more about a person lying to himself about how he's doing it "all for his family." That's it.
