A good summary, though I think evil is the wrong word, Walt isn't evil, but he's no longer good. Really, the title says it all, the show is watching a good man "breaking bad.".
Being a bad guy is much less severe than being evil; Walt wouldn't kill randomly; Walt doesn't enjoy killing; Walt can be reasoned with and trusted to keep his word if you keep yours, but cross Walt, betray him, and you've got a big problem and you won't see it coming. Walt it turns out, even to his surprise, is really good at being bad. A talented scientist and chemist, his knowledge is dangerous and he's weaponized it.
Walt's transformation is some of the best character development and acting I've ever seen on television.
