Only breaking bad fans continue to delude themselves with this narrative...
In reality GOT is on another level..
Cinematography, CGI,fun, acting, storyline is more broad than breaking bad..etc
For me there is no comparison

If we're going to venture into a debate as regards the greatest TV show of the 21st century, there's only one contender IMO - Breaking Bad.

For starters, it captured the TV zeitgeist like no other show. I have never been as overwhelmingly addicted to a show as BB. During its ridiculously riveting 4th and 5th seasons, I remember physically shaking with excitement before and after every episode. Like a serious meth addict, I was very anxious of when I'll get my next fix.

I leant a lot of things from that show; I learnt that a gigantic magnet hidden in a van packed adjacent to a precinct, could destroy a laptop in a police lockup. I leant the basics on how to set up a meth lab in a caravan, and how to rig a firearm in the trunk of my car, etc. In over five seasons and 62 episodes, there wasn't a single dud episode. There's only a handful of TV show that can boast of similar pristine level of consistency. Vince Giligan (the creator) was the ultimate perfectionist.

Conversely, GoT is overrated for the fact it has two off seasons. Season 1 to 3 were the strongest, season 4-6 were also good but not as good as 1-3, season 7 was poor compared to it's predecessors, and Season 8 was straight up a dumpster fire - as terrible as terrible gets. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic medieval fantasy, and was full of quality, but on closer and sober scrutiny, it's not all that it's cranked up to be. It's media machine is one of the best I've ever seen though. The way it jam it down the throat of everyone, you'd think GoT's the next thing since slice bread.

Bottom line, BB is better, my friend. What may seem like an overblown reputation to some people is nothing but justified.

Tell them chief.. Let them know.

I actually felt the same way when I finished breaking bad.. You know when you finish a series and you don't know what else to do with your life.. I went on YouTube and started watching every content of breaking bad I could find.. Watching breaking bad is like an adrenaline rush you get when you driving at a top speed.. You just don't wanna stop.. Or else the excitement is over...Nothing compares to it on TV.. Nothing.

The thing with CGI is it get outdated pretty fast.. Have you seen star wars and star trek of the early eighties and nineties? I'm sure you can't sit down through it today.

Same with Merlin..Merlin was the shit back in the days.. But now I look at it and I realize how lame it is.. even Legend of the seeker.. 10 years from now Game of thrones will be in the same whatsapp group with Merlin.. It will be old..and people won't be able to watch it.. Wonder why series like prison break and breaking bad still get praises today it because the stroline is forever strong and won't ever get outdated because of what would be term bad CGI..
Actually, Merlin and Legend of the Seeker fall under sword & sorcery division of the fantasy genre. GOT isn't even really that much reliant on CGI. Apart from the dragons and direwolves, what other major CG images are there? GOT isn't about wizard battles and face-offs with fantastical beasts. It's about the lore, the world building, the dialogue, the twists, the character progression. Sure, the dragons may not look good in ten years but that isn't enough to stop anyone from enjoying what GOT really has to offer.

Nothing compares. Like I have watched it four good times, and it always excite on each occasion. The kings of kings himself, Stephen King, called it the best show of the past 15 years, and he's not wrong. I went into withdrawal after BB ended, true story. grin

Grey's Anatomy S16 Ep6

I am beginning to hate the story line for Meredith, like what happened to the world class surgeon she is? And why is Shonda so hell bent in throwing her in jail. undecided like i don't get. This new story line for her is rubbish. Let's get back to her being an amazing surgeon and living happily ever after (Must bad things always happen to her??) And when will the transplant surgeon comes back into the picture and confesses his unending love? I am not feeling this season yet, honestly.

I'm still at season 3 cry

His meth became really popular because its really pure, Therefore Heisenberg kinda became a 'brand'. Walter planned to get a specific amount of money and then retire. But things got complicated, plus he slowly became obsessed/in love with the brand/making meth. The events in S1, from episode 1, kind of set of a butterfly effect chain of events. Everything kinda came together in S5, culminating at what is now known as the GOAT episode (S5E14) . You really should watch it.
okay thanks, really appreciate. I'll give it a go tonight

A ton of the scene in game of throne are heavy CGI.. CGI wasn't just used for the dragons and dire wolf.. Most of the locations and set were CGI..some of these places have been tourist attractions.. But people end up being dissapointed because it not exactly what they are shown on TV

Here are some example

Guy, game of thrones have been making waves even before the CGI. The novel (a song of ice and fire) was a hit

Keanu Reeves' breakthrough was in Matrix. Matrix was praised for its CGI and cinematography

Hmmmmm! That's a lot more CGI than I saw in behind-the-scenes clips. Guess we'll see how it hold up in 10 years.

Very interesting.

It's an emotional show, filled with drama and life lessons. The songs also played at the beginning and at the end is bliss and lovely.

Great show. Will score it a 7.
