Breaking Bad Is Good, Not Great
- Thread starter Silkk
- Start date
The entire series is on Netflix/On Demand/DVD/Blu-Ray/torrents. Except the last 8 eps obviously, which air August 11th.
At the very least it's a top 5 show. You're losing if you ain't checking for it.

I agree that there's a difference between it and The Wire and The Sopranos, in termd of believability, well thought out writing, and depth, but it doesn't have to be as good or better than them to be great.
A top 10 show of all time is obviously worthy of being called great. Seasons 4 and 5 have earned it that level imo

I would have a hard time ranking it top 10, only seasons 3 and 4 were not weak.
Season 5 part 1 was weak, I suspect part 2 will be weak because all is left is him running from Hank and witness protection.
Season 1 was dope imo. Things stayed fairly believable and there were a lot of tense moments. Why didn't you like it? Imo its a little underrated, better than 2 and especially 3 with the killer twins who don't talk. That was some truly silly shyt.
Season 5 part 1 had some plot twists (how mike acted in general) and scenes (Walt acting like such a kingpin it was goofy, "say ny name", etc, just completely laughable shyt that he got away with) that hurt it, but I was still glued to the TV. And the train robbery episode was crack.

I would like to point out that Suicide King not only believes "Dexter" never fell off, but also it's a top 5 show, and in his own words "should go on at least 2 more seasons". "Breaking Bad" isn't a top 10 show though.
Don't expect any kind of logic from him.

Dexter is in my personal top 5, because its near and dear to a breh. Its not quite a top 5 show of all time. But we know who occupies the top 3 spots though.

Some of you people are full of sh*t. Breaking Bad Season 3 is one of the top 5 seasons of television of all time.

Funny because season 1 and 2 are the best seasons of the Breaking Bad, imo.
That being said it's not a top 10, imo. I think the 1st half of season 5 was very weak and I'm not sure if the show can close out strong.
Also, Dawson's Creek was despite the melodrama, a very well written show in it's prime.

Breaking is ranked among the greats imo.
There's episodes where I legit had heart palpitations because of how much suspense there was
When Hank almost found out Jesse and Walter were partners in the scrap yard
When Hector triggered the bomb on Gustavo
When walter took down Tucco's thugs in his own hood with the meth bomb
It is no way near better than The Wire that's for sure but its very close.
