The most innovative television series take advantage of new audience forms that make the fictional tend to the ludic and give to the act of watching the aspect of a game. With the functions of freezing or enlarging the details, the new visualization instruments allow the viewer to participate a little more of the creative acts, while at the same time can enjoy a recreational activity. The analysis of Breaking Bad in this article demonstrates these possibilities, highlighting how the “granularity” of the minimum unit of a television work has changed, in order to address a new kind of spectator. This spectator should be able to analyze the details of image and soundtrack to understand or taste the series.
