TechRadar Publishes 30-Question Breaking Bad Quiz Under a 'Lost' Headline
TechRadar has posted a 30-question quiz on the Breaking Bad franchise, split into easy, medium and hard rounds, though its headline asks readers about Lost, a show the article never mentions.
The quiz, credited to freelance contributor Tom Bedford, opens by noting that 18 years have passed since Breaking Bad first aired and four since its final spin-off finished. It describes Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul as among the best series put to screen, and groups them with the film El Camino as the "Gilliverse."
The questions cover that franchise rather than the plot, setting and characters of the shows, according to the article. They are divided into three rounds: 10 easy questions, 10 of medium difficulty and 10 hard ones. The piece states that readers will need to be experts to answer all 30 correctly.
The article also points readers to Netflix, where it says Breaking Bad is available in most regions, and includes standard TechRadar prompts asking readers to follow the outlet on Google News, add it as a preferred source and sign up for its breaking news and deals newsletter. A separate note tells commenters they must confirm a public display name and may need to log out and back in to be prompted for it.
The headline and the body of the piece do not match. The headline refers only to Lost, while the text and questions deal entirely with Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and El Camino; Lost is not mentioned anywhere in the article, and no questions about it are listed.
Bedford is identified as a freelance contributor covering technology, entertainment and gaming, with bylines at outlets including GamesRadar, Digital Trends, Android Police, TechAdvisor, WhattoWatch and BGR. The article says he was on the TechRadar staff from 2019 to 2022, first as a staff writer and then as deputy editor for the mobile team.
