There are several scenes with a young boy being severely neglected by his meth-using parents. The kid is extremely filthy and left alone for long periods of time. Also, Walter cooks meth and potentially puts his whole family in danger by working with cartels. Walter also kidnaps his own daughter.

The character of Jesse is constantly manipulated by others with one instance involving the main character (Walter) convincing him that he [Walter] didn't poison Brock and that another person did it, he does this to convince Jesse to help kill the supposed culprit and to keep Jesse within his control

The two brother assasins are shown being abused by their uncle Hector when they were kids. One of them is nearly drowned. The brothers eventually grow to become cartel hitmen. It can be argued Walter was treated like crap and belittled by his old boss Bogdan, and later returns the abuse by taking his business and his framed dollar bill.

Season 2 episode 10 there is a scene where a character lets his 16 year old son have a shot. After his son is finished he keeps pouring up until the son gets sick. He is aggressive towards other characters who try to calm him down/get him to stop. A friend who grew up with an abusive/alcoholic father found this scene very upsetting.

A tortoise might have been abused. It seems like a prop was glued onto a living tortoise and some text had been written on the animal with paint. I don’t think this would be seen as acceptable outside of a movie set, so it’s worth mentioning.

No spiders appear before season 5.
In the opening scene of S5E5, a boy is riding a bike and puts a tarantula in a jar. Very visible and focused on. Just look away the entire scene, it ends when you hear the intro tune.
In the final scene of S5E5, after the train heist, the boy is seen again. The tarantula becomes visible after the boy falls down, and Todd takes it. Again, very visible and focused on. The episode ends after this, so look away until it reaches the credits.
In S5E6, after Todd is chewed out by Mike and he goes to his car, he looks at the tarantula in the jar. Again, very visible and focused on. I can't remember the timestamps, but you should hear when the scene ends I think.
In S5E11, while out in the desert, a tarantula is seen crawling. It's not very close to the camera and isn't the main focus, but I found it creepy. It's there as soon as the seen starts, so listen out for "that's the last nail in the coffin" in the scene before and look away. You can look back after Saul says "it's always a desert".
No more spiders appear as far as I'm aware.

For two episodes of season 1, a character is restrained by a bike lock around his neck that locks around a pole behind him. He is unable to move his head forward at all. In “Buyout”, a character is zip-tied to a radiator at the wrist and left alone. He quickly escapes. Nearing the end of season 5, a character is kept in an underground cage chained at the wrists and ankles. When he is out of the cage, there is a chain from his back to the ceiling that only allows him to walk back and forth.

The son of the main characters has cerebral palsy, and there are scenes of him being addressed as such by bullies and antagonists. One more intense example is a group of boys mocking him in a store but (spoilers) the main bully gets his ass beat. Characters generally react negatively to the slurs use.

no real clown but towards the end of the show. Probably in season 5. In the intro scene of an episode Skyler packs a clown statue. It's very short, very brief, and hardly sees anything, but I prefer to warn you just in case. I will try to find in which epsiode it was.

ALL Breaking Bad warnings
a masterpost of masterposts! what a concept!
BEWARE OF SPOILERS
Breaking Bad: Season 1 Warnings
it should first be said that this show is not for people who are bothered by really violent or disturbing content. however, there’s not too much v* so it’s easy to avoid if that’s all you’re worried about!
possible spoilers ahead~
episode 1-
walter coughs throughout. at the beginning, after coming out of the trailer, the coughing is particularly intense. this may be triggering.
towards the end, after telling jesse what happened in the trailer, walter bends over and v*s violently. you can’t see it, but you see him bending over and you hear it very clearly for quite a few seconds
episodes 2 through 5 are safe aside from coughing (and subject matter that involves really gruesome images and such)
episode 6-
when walter is teaching toward the beginning, he tells them to work on their stuff alone and then leaves the room to v*. I tabbed out and took my earphones out, but I think it’s shown a bit and heard quite violently.
after walt’s second chemo scene, about 19 minutes in, he is paying with a check and goes to the bathroom to v*. I think it’s pretty much just like the last one
episode 7 is safe
Breaking Bad: Season 2 Warnings
just like I said last time- a very intense and often gory show. possible spoilers ahead.
Episodes 1 through 4 are safe. There’s always coughing of course, but the only notably triggering moment is in episode 4 when jesse makes it back inside the trailer and begins coughing intensely. It seems as if he’ll v* but he doesn’t.
Toward the beginning of episode 5, about 7 minutes in when Walt gets out of bed to count the money, he goes to the bathroom and gets sick. The toilet clogs and he spends a little bit cleaning up, so the scene ends up being about a minute and a half. Just tab out and take our your earphones/mute it.
Episode 8 is safe, minus the usual coughing. Also, Hank has a couple panic attacks in this episode, which might seem like he’s going to throw up, but he doesn’t.
Episode 9 is technically safe, but at the beginning Walt leaves the waiting room and has a particularly bad coughing spell in the bathroom. He is coughing violently and leaning somewhat over the toilet, but he doesn’t v*. It still may be triggering.
In Episode 10, around 15 minutes in, Walt Jr. is sick into the pool. He starts to cough after taking a drink at about 14 minutes. I stopped watching/listening so I don’t really know how much is shown, but a previous anon said it’s pretty graphic. I would honestly skip that whole scene where they’re outside drinking. Stop watching when Walt pours out Walt Jr.’s ice. The scene ends at 16 minutes.
Episode 11 is safe.
Episode 12 is safe up until the end. When Walt goes into Jesse’s apartment, Jane ends up v*ing quite a bit. I didn’t watch because I knew something was coming, but it sounds horrible because she's choking. You should probably just skip the entire scene. It’s the last scene of the episode.
Episode 13 is safe.
Breaking Bad: Season 3 Warnings
same disclaimer for violence and intensity as the previous seasons
Episodes 1 through 4 are safe.
In episode 5, about 3 minutes in, Jesse is leaving the strip club with his friends, and Skinny v*s outside as he’s walking away. As soon as you see they’re leaving the club, tab out and mute.
Episodes 6 through 13 are safe.
Breaking Bad: Season 4 Warnings
violence and intensity, spoilers, etc etc you know the deal~
Episode 1 is technically safe, but there is a VERY gruesome death towards the end. I usually don’t mention these, but since I’m hardly bothered by gore and this one affected me, I thought it was worth mentioning. Also, witnessing it causes Walter to look like he’s going to be sick.
Episodes 2 through 9 are safe.
When Gus goes to the bathroom in episode 10, he sets a towel down in front of the toilet and makes himself v*. It’s obvious it’s coming because he kneels in front of the toilet and sticks his two fingers toward his mouth. I’m not sure if you see v* but you see him leaning over and hear the sounds.
Episodes 11 through 13 are safe.
Breaking Bad: Season 5 warnings
Episodes 1 through 8 are safe.
In episode 9, when the Whites are eating dinner, around 33 minutes in, Walt runs to the bathroom and leans over the toilet. I honestly don’t know if he v*s at first because I saw it coming on the little netflix preview screen, and when the scene came I tabbed out and listened to it at a low volume. It doesn’t sound like he v*s but I know he turns the water on. However, after he notices his book is gone, he makes a gagging sound and leans over. Nothing is shown.
Episodes 10 through 16 are safe.

Yes. Frequent mentions of prison throughout, but never shown (although there is shots in courthouses).
Until season 5, which features an extremely important and lengthy plotline about various people in prison. During this plotline 10 people are murdered while incarcerated. One of the main characters is also enslaved in season 5.

Complicated? A cisgender male character wants to be called a different name than his birth name, which is mostly respected but is sometimes questioned; his father does not approve of it. Later, the character goes back on this and wants to be called his birth name again.

I am only marking this down as yes because there is a character with cerebral palsy who is referred to as "ret*rded" and is made fun of quite a bit. They are treated well by family, though.

Walter, to avoid having to explain where he was, fakes a fugue state. He pretends that he disassociated from stress and claims to have no memories.
Another instance, when Jesse and Jane do drugs, the scenes are shot in such a way to suggest they are "untethered" or "floating." This is particularly when they shoot heroin.

Out of the two main characters, one suffers from extreme PTSD towards the end of the show and is addicted to meth, heroin, and marijuana, while the other is extremely manipulative and arrogant (although it’s never discussed, perhaps borderline or narcissistic?). Several other characters suffer from PTSD. One character is a kleptomaniac and another has cerebral palsy. One character’s behavior is in line with that of a sociopath. There’s a scene where a character experiences a paranoid hallucination.

One of the characters seems to display PTSD-like symptoms in season two, having numerous moments of panic by himself and then attempting to retain some normalcy in the presence of others.

Jesse's favorite word is b***h and he often says it multiple times per episode. F**k is used rarely, and might be censored on TV but not streaming. A*****e and d**k also appear multiple times. Might count as an obscene gesture, both Walter and Jesse grab their crotches out of anger, like when Walter quits the car wash.

Hank denounces neonazis but frequently makes (joking) racist comments towards Gomez (his latino coworker).
In a later season, a main character works with a neonazi hitman organization, although they never discuss it or outright speak of their racism.

In his first appearance Saul Goodman says "My real name's McGill. The jew-thing I just do for the homeboys. They all want a pipe-hitting member of the tribe, so to speak" I don't quite understand this quote, neither in english nor my native language, but I think he's pretending to be jewish, bc jews are stereotypically good lawyers? Is that antisemitic? In the prequel Better call Saul it's revealed that the name comes from the phrase "It's all good, man!" and he changed his name to be free from the reputation of his brother who was also a lawyer

Subjective, it’s not in every episode, but where there’s gore it’s generally pretty intense. One of the first plot points in Season 1 is disposing of a mostly dissolved corpse, flesh and blood and bone are seen. There is a particularly notable scene in 4x01 where a man cuts another man’s throat with a box cutter; the wound is shown and there is a LOT of blood.
