He could have glamorized Albuquerque or chosen a nicer (and less representative) part of the country as a setting. But, no, he tells his tales of moral decay within a distinctly American spatial order: strip malls, arterial roads, parking lots, cul-de-sacs, and isolated single-use zones.

People watched Breaking Bad and kept saying how they hope they never ever have to go to Albuquerque

      That cul-de-sac was built for specifically for Pluribus, so that they don’t end up with the Breaking Bad situation where people throw pizzas on the roof of the house that was used as Walter and Skylers house in the show. It wasn’t in Breaking Bad.

        I think we’re both correct and the og picture has included a photo of the pluribus set by accident. I’ve been trying to find a similar shot in breaking bad but nothing comes close, especially the view from the house to the street and beyond. All shots I can find (without rewatching the whole series) show the house itself.
