A Mysterious Symbol That’s More Than It Seems
If you thought the "Mandala" episode of Breaking Bad was just another intense moment in Walter White’s descent into darkness, think again! The episode is a treasure trove of hidden details, each one more shocking than the last. At first glance, the title "Mandala" might seem to be just a symbolic reference to the cyclic nature of life and death. But beneath the surface lies a web of intricate details that reveal the true genius behind the show’s storytelling.
