Death Note

The Sopranos'

Death Note

Death Note?!

Death Note as in Lighto Death Note? The thought that you can say this is one of the greatest shows out there is mad hilarious.

koice:


Breaking Bad is better than the Sopranos or any other shows out there, You'd better believe It. The only show I can say that is a bit better is The Wire. No show is better than the Wire.

One thing about BB is once you don't like the first few episodes, you'll never like the rest. It's much like The Wire in that instance. BB is the only other show after The Wire and - presently Banshee - that treated every single episode like a season finale. You can't beat that. BB is not overhyped my friend, what may seem like an overblown reputation to most people is nothing but justified.

Side note: iOS is better than every other OS out there. Apple products destroy other competing products. It's not a snobbish hype, merely a simple fact.

Your personal opinion must not be mistaken for fact. If you actually think Banshee with all the gaping holes is worthy of mentioning then it goes to prove that tastes differ and your choice nor mine cannot be mistaken for fact.

This arguments are actually pointless. There is nothing like fact when it comes to things like this. Maybe general consensus or trend of the moment.
It is like looks. We all never like the same kind of woman or guy. Most pageant contestants will never generate an erection in some men.

The current season of Banshee is the rave of the moment, dude... and for the fact you don't know that tells me a lot about you. Anybody that doesn't like Breaking Bad needs to have his/her head examine, to be frank. Maybe you're better off watching shows like "Devious maids" and "Revenge". What do I care?

Death Note

I googled Death Note, and guessed what popped up? A cartoon! Implying that a cartoon or anime or (whatever you call it) was actually better than BB is nothing short of pure Comedy!! I can't stop laughing.

Death note was a joke just to show how absurd it is to classify a good show and a great show in the same category because of hype.....

Saying nothing is factual about One TV show being superior to another is a flawed logic. Not all TV shows are cut from the same clothes or budget. There are criterions to consider before you invest on a show: Level of Realism, solid Content, Solid plot and strong ambience (aura). Breaking Bad came out in flying colours on all four. A lot of shows out there don't.

Sienfield and Friends..are they great shows?

Both are couple of comedies that embraced their true nature. They were hilarious, light shows and proud of it. They are legends when you compared them with other comedies out there, but please don't compare them with a drama series of strong repute like Breaking Bad, cuz such a comparison wouldn't be fair on them in the least.

Currently eyeballing "Andromeda". Good show. Much similar to Battlestar Galactica in plots. You will love it if you're into Star Trek kind of shows.

Hmmm.. in my humble opinion, Breaking Bad was great but not a must-watch great. yep.. I know wat am talking about...wen I saw d first two seasons I was still looking for wat d hype was all about.. although I am glad I finished it.. all dz "BB d greatest.... ish".
Bitch please. hell Prison Break was more acclaimed and u would truly enjoy it from the get go...
BB was too start-stop in S1 and S2 in my opinion. u can't blame ppl for not being patient

I beg to differ, like it or not breaking bad is the best show ever! May be the wire is close, the Sopranos, the walking dead, Got, boardwalkempire, mad men..... I think those are a few of the best shows for the past decade.

Initially I never liked the show, thought it was over hyped.... struggled to finish season 1 and maybe 2, but I had the patience to see it through.......

Now that's the problem we Nigerians have....we want something with action, fights, much drama, thrills.... we don't tend to flow with slow shows.....we are like, there's too much talking here so dull....they should fight.........

So it takes someone with patience to get along with BB, I effortlessly tried to convince my BFF, but she's just not into it. So I gave up on her

And did I mention I did later finish the rest seasons without feeling the need to take a break.... and so far its my most captivating show ever. Can't forget ozymandias episode and so many others...

There are some other initial slow show like sopranos, true detectives.......that are great shows

Everyone has his/her opinion but for the records, Guinness book of records, imdb, writers association, emmy award...all can't be wrong.

And it has won far more awards in less nominations than any shows you can think of

Breaking bad is unarguably the best show ever. Some Nigerians may not see it that way, the world sees it and HBO won't forgive itself for letting the show slip by

No there are some shows out there which don't fall into that category.shows like sopranos nypd blue west wing the wire curb your enthusiasm e.t.c are great shows which is a FACT

You take yourself way too serious.
Calm down and go outside for some fresh air.
You seem to get orgasmic over these silly arguments.
I have every episode of Banshee ever aired. It is a drama with loads of holes in it. It is something I enjoy but denying that you do not have to suspend reality to flow with it is slightly silly.
Some people love Devious Maids. You are no better than them because you can hold infantile arguments to defend your own choices and try to pass it as fact. When it comes to subjective choices (which is all tv tastes are), there is no fact. Just opinions.
Have a fine weekend.

I love all the shows you mentioned and I have watched Sopranos twice and will do a rerun soon.
However, there is no FACT in taste. I will never touch Downtown Abbey with a long pole but I respect the choice of others to hype it but will not accept its quality as fact.

Completely missed the point I tried to raise. Bye bye now.

Aura
Is this a joke?
Who define the aura?
Solid content is subjective. You can not legislate it.
No matter how hard you try.

I don't entirely agree cos I feel some certain shows are well written and also backed up with superb acting.for anyone to say its not great is crazy.

I just dey observe!
Meanwhile,re-watching "The Gates!"....
E no go better for the people that cancelled this series!!
..
Am beginning to love GRIMM...

I'm amazed that people are still debating that BB isn't one of the greatest shows to hit TV in recent times. For the purpose of avoiding a drawn out back and forth on this matter I guess we will all agree to disagree. I mean there are people who will always insist that their local brew is just as good, if not better, than the products from the walled vineyards of Pinot Noir.

You and Koice need to watch Death Note. While I will never dare to class it anywhere among the greatest TV shows ever, it is one riverting anime.

You an anime person huh? I used to be one myself till... till life happened. Now I find that animes don't hold my interest for long these days. Death Note, Bleach and Naruto are no longer in production right? I've tried to follow Attack on Titan and Rail Gun but no way, can't see where the interest will come from.

The cartoons I watch now though are Archer season 6, Bobs Burgers season 5 and Family Guy season 13. American cartoons are just too funny.
