It's time to admit Game of Thrones has surpassed Breaking Bad, The Wire and The Sopranos

[Ms. Elaine]

There are things to criticize about GOT there is no doubt about that. Seasons 5 and 6 in particular had MOMENTS of weak tv. I emphasize the word MOMENTS because thats all they were. Dorne in particular. Arya's storyline sputtering in Braavos. Sansa taking a step back in development for no reason in S5 other than to waste time. But even with these bad moments, the seasons as a whole still were mostly amazing.

Not a single one of the other shows mentioned in this thread has a cast of characters as good as GOT. I dare anyone to tell me that the GOT characters aren't the greatest of all time already. Seriously, its not even close to be honest and only The Wire can compete

The weakest part of GOT has been the writing when they strayed too far from George RR Martin's intricate plotting. But on average, the writing is still good at worst and amazing at best. But I'm going to laugh in anyone's face who tells me that these other GOAT level shows didn't also have moments of shytty writing. If you want me to go back and watch Breaking Bad and break down episode by episode all the shytty moments, I will. The only reason certain people are so vocal about GOT's weak moments is because they are butthurt for what they perceive to be alterations to the "real" story. Many of these critiques are legitimate, but the frequency and ferocity that they are spewed is overkill.

Let's not even get into the costuming, set design, scope, epicness, etc. GOT stand on its own at the top of the totem pole in those regards.

I love The Wire but seasons 2 and 5 were utter garbage.

The Wire is garbage compared to the Sopranos.Whats with the revisionist history here?

 

[be back in a bit]

I'm on season 3 of The Sopranos and while I think it's a good show, I don't get why its hyped up so much..It's not touching The Wire or GOT...maybe in the BB, Mad Men tier.

I think because it was the first great show of the Golden Age TV is going through right now.

and still remains the best,only Breaking Bad was as good.

 

[FlyRy]

I still need to see it myself.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Breaking bad was never on that tier for me. Breaking Bad is right below the all time greats. Still a phenomenal show though.

It has not passed the wire, fukk outta here.

shyt hasn't even passed True Detective season 1

 

[PimpHandStrong]

Breaking bad is severely overrated.

Explain

 

[50CentStan]

Breaking Bad is so far ahead of any show. It had characters you legit hated like Walts wife. No show is having a character that hatable. Game of thrones is great, but this season proved why its not the GOAT. this season had no real shock value, and that's what GoT does best.

If you're throwing up all the time what good is food and water? You can't keep it down. You don't have to explain why you weren't around to reply either. It's kinda weird, I don't think anyone cares. lol

Yeah, you commented about how long it took me to reply to you in this very same thread. Breh, I'm able to son you by my self, I don't need you to give me easy layups. In one post: "they'll die of dehydration and starvation". In a post after: "What good is food and water?" You're literally asking what good is the shyt that solves the issues you brought up. Sea sickness subsides. Yoh dont have it the whole time. If they're dehydrated, they drink something if theyre starving, they eat something. They can't keep it down so they just be like, fukk the stuff that will help me survive?If you're trolling me right now, good job. I'm not gonna stop responding, btw. This war of attrition is hilarious to me right now.

It's no longer a matter of "Has it surpassed" those shows, it's now "How much further ahead" it will be by the time it's over.

GOT has about 4 or 5 characters alone I hated more then Walts goddamn wife

 

[ECA]

I dont even think it's a top 5 show on tv currently.....I can't put it up there with some of the GOATs

Brag about characters that are hated that aren't supposed to be hated, brehs



I hate every single character on Fear of the Walking Dead, that show must be the GOAT!!
