What would you say is the overall central message of Breaking Bad?

Now that we've had a couple of months to reflect on the series, what would you say was the overall central message of Breaking Bad?

It had no message, it was just a fantastic story.

It is a complex morality play with so many layers and intertwined realities that giving it a constant "central theme" does the show no justice and belittles its topic.

The minute you say something being central...like...the show is about "change"...you can immediately go in another direction and say the show focuses on redemption or it is the story of the bruised moral compass. There is just so much there, narrowing it down seems to simplify it when the shows scope is much wider.

No half measures.

Crime doesn't pay, and most criminals are just uncaring shitbags like Uncle Jack or Todd. I feel the final season was a deconstruction of the "anti hero" mythos in many ways.
