Before “Mad Men” premiered in 2007 — an astonishing 10 whole years ago this summer — AMC was known as the channel that plays old movies. But the network really stepped up its game and left its own imprint on the so-called golden age of television.

While AMC hasn't had another Emmy-sweeping hit like "Mad Men" or "Breaking Bad" since those shows finished, it has continued to make innovative shows that focus on great writing and acting, like "Better Call Saul," which has its season-three premiere on Sunday. Some AMC shows are good, but some of them, as it goes with any network, are total duds. 

We took to Metacritic, which aggregates reviews and assigns each season of a show a score based on them, to rank every AMC scripted series according to critics. We included every scripted show, but left out unscripted series like "Talking Dead," "Rdie with Norman Reedus," and "The Pitch." 

Here's every AMC show ranked from worst to best, according to critics:

19. "The Prisoner" (2009), one-season miniseries

Metacritic Score: 45

"This reimagined version, which feels a bit old hat in a post-Matrix fantasy landscape, is more leaden, pretentious, and solemn, a tone embodied by [Jim] Caviezel’s brooding Six, who’s more dour than dashing."—TV Guide 

18. "Feed the Beast" (2016), one season

Metacritic Score: 46

"Answers are sacrificed in 'Feed the Beast’s' quest to be 18 different things at once: a Bourdain-esque tale of bad-boy chefs made good, a gritty crime drama, a superhero show, a touching tale of familial reception."—The Atlantic

17. "Into the Badlands" (2015-), two seasons

Metacritic Score: 54 (rating for season two not available yet)

"Beneath the veneer is nothing but cliches loosely stitched together. Actor Daniel Wu, however, does what he can."—Entertainment Weekly

Each year in television, one show stands out from the rest as the most critically acclaimed program of the year.

Since the turn of the new century, review aggregator Metacritic has compiled an annual list of the year's most well-received TV show seasons by assigning scores based on their composite critical reception.

We selected the top show from each year starting with 2000 (and including the best program of 2017 so far). The resulting list includes repeated appearances from contemporary classics like "Breaking Bad,""The Wire," and "Mad Men" for their most notable seasons.

The Bletchley is a spy-themed bar where you crack codes to get cocktails. Guests at the bar use WW2 enigma machines to find their drink unique combination. It’s inspired by the Bletchley Park site where British intelligence used to break German codes during WW2.

Alcotraz is a controversial prison-themed cocktail bar where you have to smuggle in your own liquor. You’re "processed" by guards and wear an orange jumpsuit. It's inspired by the prison in San Francisco.

ABQ is a Breaking Bad-themed bar which is set up in an RV. Guests wear a hazmat suit and “cook” their own drinks, which are served in flasks, syringes, and other props.

The Shochu bar transformed its ceiling into blossoming cherry trees to celebrate Japan’s cherry blossom season. They used hundreds of pink flowers for their decorations.

Skylight at Tobacco Dock is a car park roof turned into a bar which boasts incredible views of the City. This winter season they installed a skating rink – the first on a roof in London.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Sunday's episode of "Westworld."

HBO surprised devoted "Westworld" fans by tossing in a cameo appearance from "Breaking Bad" star Giancarlo Esposito. Perhaps best known as his role of Gus Fring, Esposito stepped into the shoes of El Lazo — a formidable bandit host. 

When we saw the role of El Lazo inside the park on the first season, he was played by another host named Lawrence.

But this time around, a new host played by Esposito was in El Lazo's shoes. When William and Lawrence met him, El Lazo appeared to be working through Ford's coding. William thought he could force El Lazo into turning over his host troops, but the whole scene ended with a surprise mass suicide instead. 

Ford told William he has to play his game alone — the game called "The Door" which was cryptically revealed on the second season premiere.

Since this version of El Lazo had a dramatic death, we aren't sure that we'll see Esposito again in the future. But with this show, you truly never know.

For other details besides this cameo you might have overlooked, read our full recap of Sunday's "Westworld" here.

• Aaron Paul brought his five-month old daughter, Story Annabelle Paul, to San Diego Comic-Con Thursday.
• Paul dressed Story up as his character from AMC's "Breaking Bad" in a yellow hazmat suit.
• The two attended the 10th-anniversary reunion panel for the AMC show.
• Fans gushed over the two together.
• Paul told Jimmy Fallon in March his daughter is named after "the story" of his first date with his wife, Lauren Parsekian, in which they almost eloped in Vegas and bought a leather jacket for their unborn child.

San Diego Comic-Con is in full swing and one of the biggest panels Thursday was a 10th anniversary reunion of the "Breaking Bad" cast.

While Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, RJ Mitte, Giancarlo Esposito, and creator Vince Gilligan were all in attendance, it was Aaron Paul's five-month-old daughter Story who stole the show.

Paul brought out Story in the iconic yellow hazmat suit he and Cranston wore on the AMC show to cook blue crystal meth.

Here's video of the moment:

The AMC show follows high school teacher Walter White (Cranston) after he's diagnosed with terminal cancer. He and an old student, Jesse (Aaron Paul), get together to start selling meth (yes, it sounds bizarre) so his family can be provided for when he's gone.

Here's how Jesse and Walt look in their cooking gear. 

We think Story may have Cranston and Paul beat. 

Fans couldn't get enough of the adorable "Breaking Bad" father and daughter duo.

Many took to Paul's Instagram to leave some love on a selfie he posted with Story.

Paul told Jimmy Fallon the story behind his daughter’s name and it involves the actor’s very first date with his wife Lauren Parsekian.

"We had a handful of names. We didn't want to name her until we met her," Paul told Fallon in March. "We just decided to go with Story."

Paul said he and Parsekian met at a music festival and then he had to go back to work on "Breaking Bad." The next time they saw each other was in Vegas and he asked her out on a date.

"We did dinner and a show. We drove back this old car that I bought in Vegas. That night we actually bought our unborn baby a leather jacket and we went to a chapel to get married, but the chapel happened to be closed," Paul said of their first date. “So we took that as a sign and just waited. So she’s our little story."

NOW WATCH: An early bitcoin investor explains what most people get wrong about the cryptocurrency

There are plenty of sitcom dads who might mistakes, but will always know what's right in the end. But then, there are the morally grey and even the nightmare dads who take it even further.

Here's a roundup of some of the worst fictional TV dads.

Warning: this post contains lights spoilers. 

Don Draper from "Mad Men" was an alcoholic who put work before his family.

Don Draper, one of the "mad men" of the advertising industry, prioritized his high-status job over his wife and children. He spent so much time working, drinking, and cheating that she was barely able to squeeze in quality time with his family. Don strove and struggled to offer his children more than he had growing up, but he forgot to actually be around for it.

The Gallagher family from “Shameless" would be better off without Frank.

An unemployable alcoholic, Frank spends his days drinking, stealing, and coming up with quick schemes for cash. His kids are left to fend for themselves, working tough jobs and scrounging for money any way they can. When Frank is home, this financial drain's six kids have to pick up the slack and slug his passed-out body through the house.

Walter White provided for his family by whatever immoral means necessary.

Living by the mantra, "a man provides," this former chemistry teacher turned gourmet meth maker in "Breaking Bad" gave himself such a burden to provide for his family, that he believed murder was just. Once he accumulated enough money for his cancer treatment and for his wife and kids to live comfortably, the thrill of becoming Albuquerque's top meth tycoon overcame his desire to keep his family safe.

Warning: This post contains spoilers for this week's episode of "Better Call Saul."

• David Costabile reprised his "Breaking Bad" role as Gale in this week's episode of "Better Call Saul."
• "Breaking Bad" fans will remember that Gale was shot and killed by Jesse in the season three finale of "Breaking Bad."
• Costabile told Business Insider that "Saul" co-creator Peter Gould had discussed Gale returning as far back as the first season.
• Costabile said he didn't have to be sold on the idea of coming back, and that Gale "died too soon."
• But he wasn't told he'd have to sing a Periodic Table song, and he said it took him weeks to memorize it.

If you thought Gale Boetticher died too soon on "Breaking Bad," the actor behind the character agrees with you.

Fortunately for Gale, and actor David Costabile, the creators behind the "Breaking Bad" prequel "Better Call Saul" weren't done with Gale either. Costabile reprised his role as the chemist on Monday's episode of "Better Call Saul," called "Something Beautiful," in a brief but satisfying cameo.

"There was not much of a sell," Costabile told Business Insider of when he was asked to return as Gale. "Because he died too soon, there was definitely more to say and it was a fun challenge to go back and say it."

The idea of returning had actually been planted in Costabile's head since the first season of "Better Call Saul" (season four is now airing). Costabile said he ran into "Saul" co-creator Peter Gould at a breakfast place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where "Breaking Bad" and "Saul" are set, as the first season of "Saul" was wrapping up filming.

"I was in Albuquerque shooting something else," Costabile said. "I ran into Peter and we sat down and had breakfast. At that point even, he was like 'I think it would be really fun to have you on the show' and I said 'I think that would be really fun, too.'"

Fans of "Breaking Bad" who watched Monday's "Better Call Saul" episode probably instantly recognized him as the chemist who gets caught in the middle of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Gus Fring's (Giancarlo Esposito) drug conflict. He pays the ultimate price, as he's killed by Jesse (Aaron Paul) in the season three finale after Gus orders Gale, who had been Walt's lab assistant, to learn Walt's meth formula. 

In analyzing Gale's "Saul" cameo, Costabile described his character as "earnest." Indeed, he seems to be in high spirits in the episode, obviously completely unaware of the fate that awaits him later in life. In the episode, Gus meets Gale in a chemistry lab where Gale is singing a Periodic Table song, reciting all of the elements. Gale hands over meth samples he's tested for Gus and offers to cook a better batch himself, which Gus declines — a slight nod to his future.

Costabile said that it was easy to get back into the character of Gale as soon as he was back in Albuquerque, and he looked forward to playing someone who was "just so vastly different in tone from most everyone else on the show." But the song he had to sing was a different story.

"They did not tell me that I was going to have to sing this tune that I have to sing [when they asked me to return]," Costabile said.

He added that it took him weeks to memorize it: "I think from the moment they told me I just started memorizing it. I should have suspected that that was going to happen to me at some point and memorized it [previously] but I had not. I knew any number of elements in the Periodic Table but I didn’t know them all and I didn’t know them in that sequence particularly at that tempo. But it’s in there now and it’s not coming out. It’s on the 'hard drive.'"

As for viewers seeing more of Gale in "Better Call Saul?" He was less open about that.

"Did you think that you were going to see him ever again?" he asked. "That same feeling should continue for you."

"Better Call Saul" airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on AMC.

• A "Breaking Bad" movie is in the works and the show's creator, Vince Gilligan, is on board. 
• The final episode of "Breaking Bad" aired in 2013 after five seasons of following the exploits of Walter White, a fictional high school chemistry professor who utilizes his science skills to make crystal meth. 
• The projected feature film will be around two hours, though it remains unclear whether it will make its first appearance on TV or the big screen. 
• It is also unclear if the movie's plot will pick up right where the series ended up in 2013 or whether the story will be a prequel similar to AMC's recent "Better Call Saul" series.

“Breaking Bad” may have had its finale in 2013, but Variety has confirmed that series creator Vince Gilligan is working on a new film with ties to the beloved series.

Gilligan is working on a two-hour film, though whether it’s destined for multiplexes or television is unclear.

Details are sparse, with no information on what shape the movie would take — a prequel like “Better Call Saul” or something else — or whether any of “Breaking Bad’s” stars will return. The Albuquerque Journal includes a logline stating the film “tracks the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom.”

The Journal also reports the title as “Greenbriar,” though whether that’s the final title is in the air as well. Production in the Duke City is scheduled to begin mid-November through early February, according to the Journal.

• "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan is working on a movie version of the series, according to reports.
• Actor Bryan Cranston confirmed the news but said he wasn't sure if he would be reprising his role as Walter White in it.
• He said he "would absolutely" star in it if asked.

Bryan Cranston confirmed that a "Breaking Bad" is in the works, but isn't sure if he will be in it.

The actor, who played protagonist Walter White in the TV series, told The Dan Patrick Show on NBC on Wednesday that he would "absolutely" star in the film if asked, but he hasn't even been given the script yet.

"There appears to be a movie version of 'Breaking Bad' but I honestly have not even read the script," Cranston said. "I have not gotten the script, I have not read the script, so there's a question whether or not we'll even see Walter White in this movie."

The discussion followed reports earlier this week that series creator Vince Gilligan was working on a new film, though details as to whether it would star characters in "Breaking Bad" or its prequel, "Better Call Saul," were scant.

When asked whether he'd interested in starring in a "Breaking Bad" movie, Cranston said: "If Vince asked me to do it, sure, absolutely. He's a genius. It's a great story, and there's a lot of people who felt that they wanted to see some kind of completion to some of these story ideas that were left open."

He also hinted at what the movie could be about, telling Patrick: "This idea — from what I'm told — gets into at least a couple of the characters who were not completed, as far as their journey [goes]."

The finale of "Breaking Bad" aired in 2013. Cranston won three consecutive Emmy awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in the AMC series. The show also won two Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series.

• According to Deadline, the upcoming "Breaking Bad" movie will air on Netflix and AMC.
• The award-winning series aired on AMC from 2008 to 2013 and was later made available to watch on the streaming service. 
• Details about the movie are sparse, but it will be written and directed by "Breaking Bad" creator and executive producer Vince Gilligan. 

EXCLUSIVE: Vince Gilligan's "Breaking Bad" movie continues to be shrouded in secrecy, but I hear it will air on Netflix and AMC, which also carries Gilligan's Emmy-winning series.

No one would comment, but word is that the two networks might have their roles reversed, with Netflix taking first window and AMC second. The "Breaking Bad" series aired originally on AMC, with seasons subsequently made available for streaming on Netflix.

For Netflix and AMC to share the "Breaking Bad" follow-up is fitting as the two outlets share the credit for the success of the original series. Gilligan acknowledged the streamer's contribution in his acceptance speech for the series' first best drama series Emmy win in 2013.

• What is money laundering? It's the act of "cleaning" cash earned illegally to make it look like it has been earned in a law-abiding fashion or to avoid taxes.
• Most money-laundering schemes broadly follow three steps: placing the money in the financial system, layering the money so that it goes undetected, and acquiring the money by (what appears to be) legitimate means.
• Recent high-profile allegations of money laundering include Russia's Troika Laundromat scandal and the special counsel Robert Mueller's case against Paul Manafort.

If you've ever seen the Emmy-winning drama "Breaking Bad," you're probably familiar with the concept of money laundering.

The lead character, Walter White, is a former chemistry teacher who gets into the illicit-drug business. Eventually, he earns enough money to raise eyebrows, so he buys a local car wash to make it appear as though his income came from a legitimate business.

It's not unusual for a car wash, like other service-based businesses, to handle a lot of cash. It becomes easy for Walt and his wife to blend the "dirty" money into the books by claiming they washed more cars than they really did.

For the sake of television, Walt's scheme is fairly simple. These systems are often much harder to follow, especially when they're traversing countries.

It was revealed this week that an alleged international money-laundering scheme, referred to as Troika Laundromat, named for Russia's largest private investment bank, Troika Dialog, allowed the flow of some $4.8 billion of funds from Russian companies and people into Europe and the US from 2003 to early 2013, Business Insider's Callum Burroughs reported. 

Read more:'Troika Laundromat' Russia money-laundering scandal clobbers more banks as allegations deepen

The details of Troika Laundromat are complex and amount to "much more than a money-laundering system,"the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) said.

"The Laundromat allowed Russian oligarchs and politicians to secretly acquire shares in state-owned companies, to buy real estate both in Russia and abroad, to purchase luxury yachts, to hire music superstars for private parties, to pay medical bills, and much more," OCCRP said.

In another high-profile and complex case, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort pleaded guilty to charges related to money laundering in Washington, DC, last fall. The original indictment alleged, among other things, that Manafort laundered more than $18 million he earned from Russian lobbying efforts through offshore bank accounts, and he spent the money on lavish real estate, cars, clothing, and art in the US.

Manafort reportedly violated the terms of his plea deal and is set to be sentenced on March 13. 

What is money laundering?

Money laundering is the act of "cleaning" dirty money, or illegally earned cash, to make it look like it has been earned in a law-abiding fashion.

Someone who is earning and subsequently spending large amounts of cash in visible ways — luxury cars, homes, or jewelry — could raise suspicions. There's no paper trail of how they earned that money, but with some financial sleight of hand, money laundering helps them create one. In many cases, laundering money is used to avoid taxes.

There are varied ways money laundering can occur, but according to the International Compliance Association, most money-laundering schemes occur in three stages:

1. Placement: Getting the dirty money into the financial system.

2. Layering: Hiding the source of the money through skillful deception in bookkeeping and transactions.

3. Integration: Acquiring the money through what appear to be normal means.

Opening a cash-dependent business to filter money through is one way to get illegally earned money into the financial system. Another way is to make small recurring deposits of cash or transfers, often with the help of an accomplice on the inside, a "smurf," Diane Francis, the editor-at-large at the National Post, previously said.

Once the money is in the bank, it can be used to make large investments, such as real-estate investments; set up shell companies; or create offshore accounts where the money has a lower chance of being detected.

In some instances, as seen in Manafort's case, illegally earned cash is moved directly into offshore accounts to avoid taxes all together.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimated some $2 trillion is laundered globally every year. Punishment can vary depending on the location, level, and scope of the fraud, but in the US, a single count of money laundering can carry a prison sentence of up to 20 years and a fine equal to or greater than the amount laundered.

NOW WATCH: Jeff Bezos is worth over $160 billion — here's how the world's richest man makes and spends his money

• AMC's hit drama "Breaking Bad" aired on the network from 2008 to 2013.
• The show starred Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, respectively. 
• The actors from "Breaking Bad" have gone on to win Tony Awards, star on other series, and appear on the spin-off series called "Better Call Saul."
• It was also recently revealed that Paul will reprise his role as Jesse for a film sequel called "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie." 
• Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.

"Breaking Bad" aired on AMC from January 2008 to 2013 and was a hit TV show, earning Emmys, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards during its five-season run.

The critically-acclaimed crime drama starred Bryan Cranston as Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who turned to crystal meth-making to financially support his family after being diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. He forged a partnership with a former student named Jesse Pinkman (played by Aaron Paul), a drug dealer and user. 

Here's what the cast of "Breaking Bad" has been up to since the show premiered 11 years ago. 

Bryan Cranston's portrayal of family man Walter White, who became a drug lord known as Heisenberg, was praised by fans and critics.

On the first episode of the series, Walter was told that he had two years to live, which prompted him to turn to drug dealing after realizing that it was a lucrative (though dangerous) business. 

Lines like "I am the one who knocks" and "tread lightly" are just two of Walter White's most iconic lines, which have solidified his place as an iconic TV character. 

Cranston's standout performance as Walter earned him one Golden Globe and four Emmys.

After "Breaking Bad," Cranston won a Tony Award for his performance as former president Lyndon B. Johnson in "All the Way."

"All the Way" was also turned into a TV movie, which led Cranston to receive Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. He won a SAG Award for the role, too. Cranston also earned an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of the titular character in 2015's "Trumbo."

He scored a second Tony Award in June 2019 for his role as a broadcast journalist in the Broadway play "Network." 

Cranston also created and appeared on an Amazon Prime Video series called "Sneaky Pete," which lasted for three seasons. 

The versatile actor has showcased his comedic skills with guest-starring roles on shows like "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "How I Met Your Mother." In addition, he has voiced characters on "Robot Chicken" and "Family Guy."

Cranston reprised his "Breaking Bad" role during a 2016 episode of "Saturday Night Live," in which he mocked Donald Trump's cabinet picks.

Aaron Paul starred as Jesse Pinkman, known for his excessive use of the words "yo" and "b----."

In his first scene on the show, Jesse was seen exiting a woman's house through her upstairs window, fumbling to put his pants on and falling down the roof in the process.  

Paul won three Emmys for his supporting role on "Breaking Bad."

Paul will reprise his "Breaking Bad" role for a film sequel that hits Netflix this fall.

"El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie" will be available on the streaming service on Friday, October 11. You can watch the first teaser trailer here.

The actor will also star on season three of HBO's "Westworld,"playing an LA-based construction worker named Caleb, when the show returns in 2020. 

After "Breaking Bad" ended, Paul starred in a few movies, like 2014's "Need for Speed" (which was inspired by the popular video game of the same name) and the 2016 comedy "Central Intelligence" (which was led by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart).

He also starred on the Hulu drama "The Path" and voiced Todd Chavez/Henry Fondle on the Emmy-nominated animated Netflix series "BoJack Horseman."

In 2019, Paul teamed up with Cranston to release a Mezcal line called Dos Hombres. 

Anna Gunn played Skyler White, Walter's wife.

At the start of the series, she wrote stories and sold things on eBay to try and earn some money. She later became involved in a money-laundering scheme. 

Gunn won two Emmys for her supporting role on "Breaking Bad."

Gunn most recently reprised her role as Martha Bullock on "Deadwood" for a TV movie that aired on HBO in May 2019.

She's also starring in a production of Tennessee Williams' "The Night of the Iguana" at London's West End. 

Following "Breaking Bad," Gunn went on to guest star on "The Mindy Project,""Portlandia," and Criminal Minds." She also starred alongside Tom Hanks in the 2016 movie "Sully" and appeared as a councilwoman named Julia Ayres on "Shades of Blue," which starred Jennifer Lopez. 

RJ Mitte played Walter and Skyler's son, Walter White Jr.

Walter's side business resulted in a strained relationship with Walt Jr. 

RJ Mitte has appeared in several movies and shows, most recently on the Starz series "Now Apocalypse."

He also had a recurring role as Campbell Bingman on the drama "Switched at Birth." 

Like his "Breaking Bad" character, Mitte also has cerebral palsy. He's an ambassador for United Cerebral Palsy and often speaks about his experience during interviews. 

In addition, Mitte has modeled for Gap and walked the runway at a Vivienne Westwood menswear show in Milan in 2015. 

Dean Norris starred as Hank Schrader, a DEA agent and brother-in-law of Walter.

Hank took a long time to realize that Walter was actually Heisenberg. 

Norris most recently played a mob boss on TNT's "Claws."

He also played Roy Nicholls in the 2019 horror movie "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" and Russ on Hulu's "The Act." Norris has had recurring roles on several TV shows, too, from "Scandal" to "The Big Bang Theory."

Betsy Brandt played Marie Schrader, Skyler's sister.

She constantly wore purple outfits on the show. 

Brandt appears as Stephanie Novak on USA's "Pearson," a "Suits" spin-off that premiered in July 2019.

Brandt also had roles on "Life in Pieces,""Parenthood,""Masters of Sex," and "The Michael J. Fox Show."

Bob Odenkirk portrayed lawyer Saul Goodman.

He had cheesy ads for his business, but was skilled at helping Walt and Jesse find loopholes in messy situations. 

Odenkirk's "Breaking Bad" role led to a spin-off prequel series called "Better Call Saul."

The show premiered on AMC in 2015 and a fifth season is expected to premiere in 2020. Odenkirk's performance on the series has resulted in three consecutive Golden Globe nominations for best performance by an actor in a drama TV series. He has also earned Emmy and SAG Award nominations. 

Over the years, the actor has also appeared on "Fargo,""The Disaster Artist,""The Post," and "Drunk History."

He recently starred as President Chambers in the rom-com "Long Shot," which starred Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen. Next, Odenkirk will portray Mr. March in the star-studded film adaptation of "Little Women."

Steven Michael Quezada starred as Steven Gomez, Hank's partner at the DEA.

Hank nicknamed him "Gomie."

Quezada is now the commissioner of New Mexico's Bernalillo County District 2.

He was previously the vice chair and chair of the commission. 

After "Breaking Bad," Quezada starred in several movies, including "Light from the Darkroom,""Hermanos,""The Night Before," and "Wish Man."

Giancarlo Esposito portrayed Gustavo "Gus" Fring, another major player in the drug dealing business.

He also cofounded a fast-food chain called Los Pollos Hermanos.

Esposito is set to portray Archie in the Disney+ film adaptation of the young adult book "Stargirl."

Esposito will star alongside singer Grace Vanderwaal, who will play the titular character in the movie. 

The actor also appeared on the Cinemax series "Jett," Amazon's "The Boys," HBO's "Westworld," and ABC's "Once Upon a Time." He reprised his role as Gus Fring for "Better Call Saul," too. 

In addition, Esposito has appeared in movies like "Okja,""Money Monster,""The Jungle Book," and "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials."

Jonathan Banks played Mike Ehrmantraut, a mob member, private investigator, and hit man.

He also worked for Gus Fring and later helped out Walt and Jesse. 

Banks reprised his role for "Better Call Saul."

He earned four Emmy nominations for best supporting actor in a drama series for his part on the spin-off, in addition to one nod that he received during his time on "Breaking Bad."

Banks also voiced the character Quirin on "Tangled: The Series," an animated show based on the 2010 Disney movie. 

The actor voiced characters on "Skylanders Academy,""Incredibles 2," and "Gravity Falls." You may have also seen him on "Community,""Parks and Recreation," and "Body of Proof."

"Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul celebrated his 40th birthday with a lavish celebration in the Dominican Republic that included costar Bryan Cranston.

The actor shared a lengthy message on Instagram on Wednesday and gushed about "the best birthday trip of my life," which he spent with his friends and family.

"Never have I felt more taken care of in my life," Paul wrote.

He added: "My magical wife [Lauren Paul] planned the entire thing along with this incredible staff and turned these past 10 days into something that is impossible to explain."

He also thanked the staff at Ani Private Resorts Dominican Republic. 

The actor went on to encourage fans to visit the Dominican Republic if possible, calling it "such a magical place filled with magical people."

Fans got a glimpse of the getaway through photos shared by Paul on Instagram.

In one image, more than 25 guests wore white attire and posted for an aerial photo. In another, they were seen admiring fireworks. They also swam in the ocean and played games.  

While celebrating his birthday, Paul bonded with Cranston and the two indulged in their recently-released Mezcal line called Dos Hombres.

Paul said that he "had my phone locked away in my room for the entire trip and instead of my phone I had two Dos Hombres Mezcal Pina Colada's glued to my hands at all times. It was delightful."

Michelle Monaghan, who starred on Hulu's "The Path" with Paul, was also in attendance and shared photos from the trip on Instagram. 

"Words cannot express how memorable it will forever be. We laughed, cried and danced like our lives depended on it. Happy 40th brother - I'm so profoundly grateful to have you, @laurenpaul8 and all you other misfits (you know who you are) as lifelong friends, teammates and confidantes. My heart is feeling so incredibly full thanks to you all," she wrote.

The 14-suite private resort is located in Rio San Juan and costs $11,500 per night for up to 14 suites (which houses 28 adults) during the summer. Here's what it looks like from above. 

The resort also includes a pool and beach area filled with lounging chairs. Guests can also see the sunset clearly. 

There's a winding water slide, too.

The picturesque pavilion has trees and grass in neat sections. 

Inside, there's a large table and plenty of seating options. 

The main room includes a pool table and a bar.

NOW WATCH: Nxivm leader Keith Raniere has been convicted. Here's what happened inside his sex-slave ring that recruited actresses and two billionaire heiresses.

• From how the show's production affected the city of Albuquerque to behind-the-scenes insights from the cast and crew, there are many things fans may be surprised to find out about the series.

AMC's "Breaking Bad" (2008-2013) is a legendary series that continues to be popular with fans both old and new.

It skyrocketed lead actors Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul to superstardom, sparked a majorly successful spin-off, "Better Call Saul," and even spurred a new film sequel called "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie," which is set to hit Netflix on October 11.

To tide you over until the film's release, here are some surprising, fun facts that fans may not know about the hit series "Breaking Bad." 

The show wasn't originally supposed to be filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but there were financial incentives to do so.

In an interview with Slant Magazine, the show's creator Vince Gilligan said he had originally planned for "Breaking Bad" to be set in Riverside, California.

However, Sony approached him with the idea of moving it to New Mexico due to financial incentives. 

"They said New Mexico has a tax rebate for film and television production, and it's a pretty substantial one," Gilligan recalled in the interview.

"And really, it's a hard [carrot] to turn down ... and so New Mexico very quickly became the place we decided to shoot our show for strictly financial reasons. We wanted our limited production budget to go that much farther," he added. 

"Breaking Bad" ended up helping Albuquerque become quite famous — and it helped boost the city's economy and tourism business.

It wasn't just the show that saw benefits from choosing New Mexico as the shooting location. The city itself saw dividends that are paying out to this day. 

The show's now-infamous shooting locations also continue to be a major draw for tourists from all over the world, and local business owners are taking advantage of the "Breaking Bad" hype. 

Rebel Donuts in Albuquerque creates "Blue Sky" donuts modeled after Jesse and Walt's blue meth.

 The Candy Lady, the local candy shop that originally created the prop "meth" rock candy for the show, still sells "blue meth" rock candy alongside tons of show-related merchandise.

A home that was used as a shooting location for the show has been turned into a "Breaking Bad"-themed Airbnb. Local souvenir shops sell "blue meth" bath salts, "Breaking Bad" T-shirts, and much more. 

There's even a website dedicated to listing every single known filming location in Albuquerque, making it easy for travelers to plan their "Breaking Bad" sightseeing trips.

Top sites include Walter White's house, Saul's office, and a restaurant that served as the set for villain Gustavo Fring's Los Pollos Hermanos.  

The real-life owners of the house that Walter White lived in on the show are not happy about how popular the show made their home.

The filming location for Walter White's house in "Breaking Bad" became a tourism must-see in Albuquerque. But for the current occupants, the sensation around their home became so frustrating they ended up building a fence around it. 

In 2017, the home's owner Joanne Quintana told KOB4 News in Albuquerque that the number of visitors to her home was ridiculous and that she lost count of how many people would come to take a photo each week.

She also said that tourists would do things like take rocks from her landscaping, get demanding about their photos, and even toss pizzas on the roof just like Walter White did in the now-iconic moment from the show. 

Quintana said she had a 6-foot-tall wrought-iron fence installed in 2017, but told KOB4 that during construction she still had fans climbing the fence to get their photo.

That said, the house is someone's actual home — not a movie set — so you'll want to skip it if you choose to visit "Breaking Bad" filming locations. 

The iconic shot of Walter White tossing the pizza on the roof of his house was shot in one take and was only possible because the pizza was unsliced.

On the second season of "Breaking Bad," Walter White infamously throws a pizza onto the roof of his home.

In an interview on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Cranston said the production team had actually set aside hours to get the shot, which he ended up completing in one take. 

When fans saw an unsliced pizza swirl into the air to land perfectly on the roof they were a little confused, wondering what pizza place sells unsliced pizza.

But, in a 2017 Reddit AMA, Vince Gilligan explained that he and the production team knew eagle-eyed fans would catch this, so they added a scene to explain the situation. 

You might remember the scene, which takes place in Jesse's apartment. Badger and Skinny Pete show up with a pile of unsliced pizzas and Badger tells Jesse they're unsliced because "that's the gimmick … they don't cut the pizza, and they pass the savings on to you."

No, you can't learn how to make meth from watching the show.

Walt and Jesse are shown throughout the series making methamphetamine in great detail. However, viewers could not learn how to make meth just by watching the show.

In a 2011 interview with NPR, organic chemist and science advisor to the show, Donna Nelson, said key elements to the meth-making process were eliminated from "Breaking Bad" to keep people from attempting it at home. 

"That was actually one of the concerns of a lot of people, but Vince Gilligan has been very clever," Nelson said. "If you just simply followed the one synthesis as it's presented, you wouldn't come out with methamphetamine."

Another one of the show's most memorable, science-based scenes that isn't accurate is the infamous bathtub scene.

On season one, Walt and Jesse use hydrofluoric acid to dissolve a body in a bathtub. In addition to the body, the acid eats through the tub and ceiling, leading to a massive, disgusting, gloopy mess crashing down onto the first floor. 

"Mythbusters" tested this method on pig flesh in 2013 and determined that although hydrofluoric acid did help break down the tissue, it didn't liquify it as thoroughly as was shown in the episode.

The "Mythbusters" team also proved that the acid couldn't even make a dent in the bathtub or drywall material. 

Bryan Cranston was not the first choice for the role of Walter White. In fact, casting him took some convincing by the show's creator and writer.

At the show's inception, the role of Walter White was initially offered to actors Matthew Broderick and John Cusack.

Both passed on the role, much to the dismay of executives at AMC and Sony Pictures Television who couldn't get past Cranston's history of comedic roles (he'd previously been known for roles like the dopey father on the sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle") to see him as the show's antihero. 

Gilligan had pushed for casting Cranston because he remembered the actor's performance on "The X-Files." The role was very different from Cranston's typical comedic stints and the actor's performance left a positive impression on Gilligan. 

"We needed somebody who could be dramatic and scary yet have an underlying humanity so when he dies, you felt sorry for him," Gilligan said about the "X-Files" role. "Bryan nailed it."

So, Gilligan showed executives the tapes of Cranston's performance on the 1990s series and the rest was history. 

Networks like HBO, Showtime, and FX all passed on "Breaking Bad."

Before the multi-Emmy-award-winning series found a home on AMC, it was passed on by some of the biggest networks. 

Reportedly, FX was afraid the show was too similar to other series it currently had which featured male anti-heroes. And, Showtime said the concept sounded a lot like their show "Weeds," about a woman who secretly grows and sells marijuana. 

In 2011, Gilligan also recalled his pitch meeting with HBO as one of "the worst" he ever experienced. 

"The woman we're pitching to could not have been less interested — not even in my story, but about whether I actually lived or died," he said. "My agents could never even get her on the phone afterward to even say no."

Crew members from AMC's "The Walking Dead" helped "Breaking Bad" with some gnarly special effects.

During the character Gus Fring's final scene, the makeup department and special-effects team had a huge responsibility to create a realistic-looking, half-blown-off face for actor Giancarlo Esposito.

To do this, the "Breaking Bad" crew had some help from another hit AMC show, "The Walking Dead." 

In an interview with The New York Times, Gilligan said of Fring's death scene, "We did have great help from the prosthetic effects folks at 'The Walking Dead' ... it's a combination of great makeup and great visual effects. And it took months to do."

"Breaking Bad" producers apparently passed on having a Marvel cameo in their series.

One crossover that never happened was a special appearance by Nick Fury.

While filming an "Avengers" film in New Mexico, Samuel L. Jackson said he had dreams of doing a cameo appearance as his Marvel character. His pitch was a casual walk-on role where Nick Fury enters Los Pollos Hermanos in costume, orders food, and leaves. 

"I just wanted to order a three-piece and really freak people out," Jackson told IndieWire. "Then people would be going, 'Wow, was that him?'"

He said the producers of "Breaking Bad" weren't interested.

Walter Jr.'s website SaveWalterWhite.com is real and now links to the AMC website.

Walter Jr.'s website SaveWalterWhite.com is real and it even features photos from the show. 

During the show's first season Walter White's son, Walt Jr., creates a fundraising website called SaveWalterWhite.com to help pay for his dad's cancer treatment.

Walter Sr. ends up using the website as a way to launder the money he makes from selling meth by making consistent, anonymous donations to himself. 

The website, which is run by AMC, is actually a real site and is still up and running. Fans of the show on Reddit say that the site has been active since the night the episode aired. 

The "Click Here to Donate" button featured on the site currently links directly to the "Breaking Bad" page on AMC's own website.

Jesse Pinkman was originally set to be killed off during the first season.

Although Pinkman ultimately remained on the entirety of the series, the reports that the show's writers' strike of 2007 to 2008 saved him are not entirely true. 

There's a common story that Gilligan had planned to kill off Aaron Paul's character Jesse Pinkman on episode nine of the show's first season, but that the writers' strike caused the show to only run for seven episodes.

As a result, Gilligan is said to have had time to reconsider killing off Jesse and ultimately keep him on the show. But, Gilligan said that isn't the case. 

"The writers' strike, in a sense, didn't save him," he said on a panel in 2011. He said that by episode two, he, the producers, and the directors all knew Paul was a great actor to work with and that it "would be a huge, colossal mistake to kill off Jesse."

Aaron Paul said he was actually injured while filming one of the show's fight scenes.

In a 2013 Reddit AMA, Paul shared that he was knocked unconscious with a concussion and sent to the hospital as a result of a fight scene gone wrong. 

"Raymond Cruz who played Tuco gave me a concussion," Paul wrote in the AMA. "Tuco takes Jesse and he throws him through the screen door outside, and if you watch it back you'll notice that my head gets caught inside the wooden screen door and it flips me around and lands me on my stomach … "

"Raymond just thought I was acting so he continued and kicked me in the side and picked me up over his shoulder and threw me against the house but, in reality, I was pretty much unconscious," he wrote. 

Cranston said the hardest scene to film was when Walter White watches Jane die.

Cranston told IndieWire that the season-two scene where Walt purposely watches Jesse's girlfriend, Jane, die even though he could save her was the hardest moment for him to film.

He said he pictured Krysten Ritter (Jane) as his own daughter and couldn't control his emotions after the scene was cut. 

"In a split second [Krysten's] face lost all characteristics, and out of that came the face of my real daughter choking to death," Cranston said.

Once the director cut he recalled, "I'm a weeping mess. Fortunately, you have your family around you, and I went to Anna Gunn [who played Skyler white] and she held me."

There's a reason Skyler's sister Marie wears so much purple.

Skyler's sister, Marie Schrader, wears and owns a lot of purple items — and the show's creator Gilligan told Vulture in 2011 that her color obsession is no accident. 

"Well, Marie would say purple is the color of royalty," he explained. Gilligan also said the show oftentimes used color to portray certain energies and even predict certain fates. 

"Color is important on 'Breaking Bad;' we always try to think in terms of it. We always try to think of the color that a character is dressed in, in the sense that it represents on some level their state of mind," he told the publication. 

For example, Gilligan told Vulture that Walter White's last name is the color white because it "is the color of vanilla, of blandness."

Bryan Cranston has a permanent reminder of the show on his body.

On the final day of filming "Breaking Bad," Cranston told TheWrap that he got a tattoo of the show's iconic Br/Ba logo.

"We were having a couple of drinks at a bar and they brought in a tattoo artist and we thought, 'Why not? This is the time to do it,'" he told the interviewer. 

The tattoo is located on the inside of his right ring finger.

Aaron Paul also has some memories from the show, including a faux severed head and license plate.

During a 2016 interview with Seth Meyers, Paul said he took "everything [he] could" from the set of "Breaking Bad."

One of the items is the faux severed head of Gus Fring, which Paul said he keeps in his media room. 

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor also said he "took Jesse Pinkman's license plate from his first car" and that he has an iconic Heisenberg hat.
