What's up with every scene the DEA's wife is in there's always the color purple. Either her clothes, or their linens, or a bag on the counter. Is it just her favorite color or is there some deeper meaning behind it?

I've never seen one episode of Breaking Bad (my fault and my loss)

but yeah... if you notice something like that it's probably symbolic

"TCC: Purple. Can you wear purple when you're not working? BB: [laughs] No, no, no. I do not. I cannot. I will not. I've got nothing against purple, and I think purple is a color that looks good on me and is flattering on a lot of people, but I just can't. I love it about Marie though. We all started in the pilot with a color and Kathleen Detoro, our costume designer, said one of our first superpowers is color. And I said that I think the way this character is, everything should be purple. I think there is very little that she does is half assed. So our house is purple. The poor people—they're really great—whose home we use for Hank and Marie's house in Albuquerque have to live with a purple wall. She's been into purple before we met her in this show, and she'll be into purple when it's all over. I'm sure she'll be buried in it, all laid out in purple, probably a sparkly ensemble. I'm only mad we don't have a purple car, and when I see a purple car in L.A., I think I know that person."

Part of the character?

Just started watching this show, still early in the first season. My dad mentioned that it was a good show back when it was first on, but just have recently gotten onto it... I had nightmares last night (we watch online TV before bed)

^ lol yeah my first thought was, "There must be a deeper meaning, maaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" which I thank that Intro to Film course for.
