The series premiered on August 11, 2013, following the encore presentation of the mid-season premiere of Season 5 of Breaking Bad. The series features host Chris Hardwick discussing the latest episode with guests who are fans of the series and/or from the series. Segments on Talking Bad include a "periodic table character study", which gives information about a character corresponding to the element given, an online poll, episode trivia, a "fix" from executive producer/creator Vince Gilligan for the following episode, and questions from fans via phone, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, or from the official Talking Bad website.
