TV Series

Thought the final series of Breaking Bad was pretty rubbish. The previous 4 were very good though. Similar situation with The Wire actually.

Much prefer The Wire overall though. So much about Breaking Bad is just ludicrous so it loses points for me on that
 

All the stuff with the Aryans was too much for me in the final season. Just thought it went too far and got a bit silly. As I said up to that I thought it was very good. As for it being ludicrous, I probably went a bit far there, but his change from chancer chemistry teacher to drug dealer nutter happened a bit too quickly and easily. Don't think it is very realistic that someone would change so much in such a short amount of time.

And yeah, I think The Wire is a better show, probably my favourite ever.

The Wire just had more going on, more characters to develop, and more "world building" to set the characters in. It was just more complex, which gives it the nod over BB
 
In no order:

Twin peaks
Mad men
The leftovers
The Americans
Rectify
The wire
Sopranos

Off the top of my head. All of above I was sad when they were over. I was relieved when BB ended, it was like a relentless juggernaut.
Twin Peaks is not for everyone, but I agree with this shout. The follow up season that recently came out was absolute genius. Mesmerizing.
 
I love The Wire including S2 and it is magnificent in terms of a TV with it's writing, structure and realness but for sheer entertainment, Breaking Bad tops it plus once it connects with Better Call Saul it will be hands down better then The Wire.

Personally I would like Saul to meet but never connect with BB but to jump forward to Cinnabon Jimmy and his next move but I think we will see some Jesse or Walter next season.
 
In no order:

Twin peaks
Mad men
The leftovers
The Americans
Rectify
The wire
Sopranos

Not seen Mad Men, The Leftovers or Rectify but that's a good list.

Mine roughly:
Breaking Bad
The Wire
Twin Peaks
Band of Brothers
Gomorrah
Dexter
Sopranos
Fargo
Six Feet Under
GOT
