Ricin in pop culture: Breaking Bad
Ricin has been used as the "silent killer" in many TV shows, but most notably in AMC's extremely popular show, Breaking Bad. It is Walter White's great knowledge of chemistry that leads him and sidekick Jesse Pinkman to first use it to try to kill Tuco, the dealer who will otherwise kill them. The toxin is referenced many more times in the show, with attempts to kill anyone who gets in Walter's way. Below are pictures of the characters Walter and Jesse tried (and sometimes succeeded in) killing with ricin as well as some clips about the toxin and the show.
