Dark is 9/10

Watchmen is 8/10

The Outsider is 8/10

The Boys is 7/10

The Witcher is 6/10
so OUTSIDER is now more dope than THE BOYS and THE WITCHER

On Reddit, The Americans is rated a bit higher than Breaking Bad...
Again it's all opinions but to say it can't be compared is dumb...
The Americans is critically acclaimed as one of the greatest shows of all time...
Ny times, Indiewire, guardian, CNN etc can attest to this....
Again the words 'can't compare' in this scenario is uncalled for and depicts fanboyism

Like I keep stressing, The Americans is a top spy show. I rate it over Homeland, and I love Homeland dearly. But saying that it's better than Breaking Bad is laughable and reeks of fanboyism. It didn't achieve half of the things Breaking Bad achieved, nor 1/4 of pop cultural impact Breaking Bad had and is still having.

As for The Americans being one of greatest show of all time, it's probably true. It's probably between top 50-70 in them lists, but you best believe Breaking Bad is in the top 5 in the same lists.

Lastly, Reddit has multiple subreddits (too many to count), and no official aggregate system, so your claim that The Americans is rated higher on Reddit is nothing but bare face lie. It's tantamount to saying everyone in Nigeria speaks Hausa.

I'm just checking ratings from top sites and they all have The Americans in their Top 10s of the 2000s...
Rolling stones, guardian, Indiewire to name a few.
The Americans was called the greatest thing since the soprano's...
So it's definitely in that Elite category of Tv shows.
Also it's well acknowledged that The Americans was snubbed in the award's throughout it's run...
Mathew Rhys and Keri Russell were incredible....

i didn't say anything about WATCHMEN but watchmen is 8/10 in rating

For you to understand the series, you need to watch the movie first
The series is the continuation of the movie.

The craziest thing about Tiger King is learning that a Tiger is very cheap in the black market.

I never said it's not among the top shows, I said it's not comparable to Breaking Bad, and I've been quite right so far.


Breaking Bad beats it in every head to head statistics out there.

You said it yourself, The Americans is below Breaking Bad haha.

Doesn't matter where it ended up in the list, what matters is the fact that it's looking up at Breaking Bad, and Breaking Bad is looking down at it. grin

I am hearing about it for the first time and I keep seeing different ratings.

Rolling dollar or whatever it is rated Breaking Bad no 1 and one comedy show no 2 and The Wire no 3, never saw any Americans.

It wasn't robbed of any awards.

All the time it lost out, a more deserving winner emerged.

Come to think of it, it got only like 18 Emmy nominations in all it's 6 years of airing.

To compare, Breaking Bad got like 12 nomination on average per season.
