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

To me it has 100%, not even an argument anymore.
What makes it really unique are there are so many episodes you can play on their own - you don't even need to know any intricate details about the show to enjoy an episode like Hardhome.
That's one of the many things it does that sets it apart. You could just start one of those episodes up for an hour and be entertained. Could even play it in the background when you have company over and if they haven't seen it yet, will probably get into it. It's "pulling" power is just on a different level than the others.
Game of Thrones does what those other series' that have been mentioned: great character-building, plotlines, etc. when people want to deep dive. But none of them have anything like those movie-level production elements Game of Thrones has.

Season 6 was still great but I agree. 1-4 is the greatest four season stretch on television.
Overall, Breaking Bad might be better. I'd take GOT over the Wire though.
They said the same thing about BB and we've already forgotten about that show 
The Wire's not going anywhere, breh. Let's wait at least 5 years after GOT goes off air and then we'll revisit this.

The Sopranos aged terribly
the only show you could put up there with Game of thrones is the wire.
The show was brilliant and played out like a slow burning novel.

That was decent. But didn't blow my mind though
Stop.....
Hellno.
First few seasons it looked like it might, but take away the shock value and a lot of the last few seasons are mostly
outside of the usual 1/2 amazing episodes. There's some truly awful writing going on there.
Even when Sopranos/Wire/BB weren't hitting it out of the park they didn't reach those lows.
(Maybe that Fly episode in BB
).
