I’m not saying anything new here but in my opinion, Breaking Bad is the best multi season show ever made. (Not including the comedy genre.) So my question to all of you is what shows rival it? Like which 3 shows are close or in your opinion better? One of the things I love about BB is that it was over in 5 seasons. So many shows squander thier potential for greatness by stretching out the story for a cash grab. Shows like Homeland, or the walking dead, started off so strong but got side tracked as season after season drug on. I think Walter White’s story arc going from good guy to bad guy is perfection. Is there a comparable story arc? GOT tried and failed with Daenerys. She was hailed as good for almost the entire series but flipped in the end. Anyways, I’m curious of your thoughts. Thanks!
