I think breaking bad is overrated. Though the series is a interesting one, just through with season 2..but i'm not "feeling it much" . I prefer last kingdom,vikings,game of throne and strike back to it... Currently watching "chuck"..The series too sweet....deserves 9/10 rating.

I kinda feel the same about breaking bad too. I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons or so, then it became tiring. Though i finished season 4. The ending was good but it is been long time coming. I have been planning on watching season 5 since forever.



Talking of tiring. who has completed season 3 of this is us?How was it? It was cool and emotional. Now it is all about 40 year old people trying to stir emotions from events of 20 years ago.

The Haves And The Have Nots season 5 .... Very interesting and addictive show... Though it has average ratings on IMBD, but don't mind the ratings there. The show is super interesting, watch it for yourself.

Says someone that has never seen Breaking Bad. If you had, you would be of different opinion.

Breaking Bad is the best tv show of the 21st century. Every episode was a hit back to back. No off season, and peaked in it's season finale.[b] It aired when the social media ain't what it is nowadays , thus, not well known outside of it's niche fanbase. All GoT has going for it is superior marketing, social media frenzy, [/b]and unabash fan service. GoT is kinda overrated tbh

The dude's question is weird because Breaking bad and GoT are too different shows. One is a crime psychological thriller, and the other is a medieval fantasy. It's like comparing Apple and Oranges.

And Merlin was never popular like GoT, not even close. It was only popular in some circles, pretty much like Legend of The Seeker.

I totally disagree with you on the bolded

Micheal Jackson didn't have social media and was considered the most popular musician ever lived

What of Titanic? Godfather? Infact 80% of movies that are considered the greatest have been in existence before social media

Social media doesn't in any way mean a movie shouldn't be popular or not


And GOT overrated? That will be argument for another time don't really talk much on here prefer to just read comment and leave, just wanted to correct that statement

- First of all, remember where I said "niche"? I will come back to this later.

- On Michael Jackson, he was a household name long before he broke away from Jackson 5. Furthermore, he perfected break dancing in the height of punk era, invented the iconic moon walk, and composed songs mainly targeted at the young demographic, whom let's face it, are the bulk of fandom.

- On Titanic, two words; James Cameron. The man is a world renowned movie director, and naturally, has a huge fandom. His name alone is an automatic box office success. Remember his last high profile work, Avatar? Fans did it the same justice they did to Terminator and Titanic, and the film is presently at the top of the list of highest grossing movies of all time. There have been many Titanic movies, but only the one written and directed by Cameron smashed the box office record.

- On Godfather, when the first movie came out, it wasn't that popular. Not a lot of people were particularly interested in watching violence been depicted on television. This was at the height of musicals (movies with lots of singing), but people behind the film persisted anyway, and when Part 2 eventually dropped, the audience finally started to accept it. The film was also revolutionary in the sense that it changed the way Hollywood make movies forever. Yet, it wasn't after several years, when technology evolved (social media improved), that Part 1 and 2 became known as the greatest movies of all time. So believed it or not, the Godfather movies owe social media a lot for their popularity.

To conclude, social media played a prominent part in all I have said above, and have always been integral to spreading awareness to interested parties at far flung corners of the globe. Before social media evolved into what it is today, there had been more rudimentary methods, and were ably utilized to hype those famous movies and popstars of yesteryears. Without social media, we may as well pack it in, and call it a day.

Coming back to Breaking Bad, it's a niched production. Like the Godfather films, it's targeted at a specific audience. There are folks that would enjoy watching lighter crime tv shows like Barry, but wouldn't spare a moment on Breading Bad because it doesn't tickle their fancy. Breaking Bad is gloomy all the way through, and like real life, is very unapologetic. You either love it or you hate it, there's no middle ground here. Thus, not very popular outside of it's target audience. Also couple that with the fact that social media weren't all up in your face like it is right now, folks that would have been otherwise interested, may never have known it existed.

However, if a show like that should start airing in this media crazy period, it would have been very different indeed. Superior marketing would have succeeded in ramming it down the throat of audience outside it's targeted demographic. I actually have two examples: Ozark and Better Call Saul. Two shows inspired by Breading Bad, but more popular today respectively. The power of social media, my friend.


On GoT, it's overrated for the fact it has an off season. Season 1 to 4 were the strongest, season 5-6 are also good but not as good as 1-4, and season 7 is straightup poor compared to it's predecessors. So, yeah, GoT is overrated. It's PR team is one of the best I've ever seen though. The way they jam it down the throat of everyone, you'd think it's the next thing since slice bread.


Anyhoo, lemme stop here, I think I have made my points well enough.

The OA is the best show on the planet atm. First season was weird and a bit vague, but Season 2 embraced the weirdness without embarrassment, and even cranked it up a notch. A lot of questions from season 1 were answered and new ones were posed. It's a batshit insane season, and I had a blast watching it. Can't wait for season 3. Hope it won't take another 3 years to happen.

Love, Death & Robots is awesome. I love the brief episodes, the different animation styles, the CGI, the intelligent writing, the general weirdness, the creativity, the humor, and overall, the uniqueness. There's not a show quite like it atm. Black Mirror is a bit similar in theme, but a different show at the core.

"Good Hunting" is a poignant episode, but the "Helping Hand" episode appealed to me the most A person can do just about anything to stay alive, things you wouldn't even consider on normal circumstances.
My favorite is "The witness".The animation in that episode is a stunning.I also enjoyed the story and its loop concept

The best animation of the season IMO. Loved the temporal paradox too, but tbh, the concept was marred by the gratuitous display of nudity. Sent mixed signals. Couldn't decide if I was watching a horror_porn or two people caught in a time loop.

Clearly you were looking at picture and not following the story. At the end it changed, twas now the girl chasing the guy hence the time loop theory.

The nudity thing diminished the whole story. Showing bare titties, pubic regions and derrieres of a young stripper ain't a stellar way of showing how temporal paradox works. It's edgy and pretentious, and completely detracts from the value of principal theme.

Sex doesn't have to be involved for something to be considered a porn.
