In Season 1 Episode 1, Skylar and Marie (the wives of Walt and Hank) fail the Bechdel test. Throughout the show, Skylar and Marie are the only women, and in this episode especially, all they talked about was their husbands. Instead of talking about literally anything else, (especially because they are sisters!), their main topic of discussion was Walter and how Marie thought he was “acting quiet lately”. Throughout the episode, this was the only scene that featured these two women, so not only were they featured talking about their husbands, they were barely featured at all.
