Abstract

This text discusses a confluence of factors regarding the distribution of the television show Breaking Bad as it reached the Brazilian market, the largest in South America. This discussion is established through an observation of the distribution practices related to the first and the last episodes of the show among Brazilian audiences by official and extra official means, where signs of a greater speed in distribution become clear, as do the different paths the circulation of the series’ premiere and finale took in each market as a sign of changing audiences.
