The Blue Castle sort of fits, if in an unexpected genre way. I’d never have thought of it in relation to what I’ve osmosed of Breaking Bad, but it does feature a protagonist who is given a terminal diagnosis and devotes herself to the single-minded and joyous pursuit of no longer giving fucks.
Have you seen Marvel’s Jessica Jones?
She starts off after a traumatic series of experiences blunting her emotions, avoiding experiencing her life, and pushing other people away. She progresses to increasingly confront her fears and shame directly, taking ownership of herself and her relationships and wresting control of her life back. She’s messy, and angry, and always imperfect, but I thought it was a great story about reclaiming yourself and relentlessly swimming upstream against the current of assholes in the world.
