I have a question for all of you that have watch Game of Thrones AND Breaking Bad..........
I know they are two totally different shows, but which is "better" in your opinion and why?
I've seen some really, really great shows so I'm just curious. I saw every episode of Breaking Bad and I can't recall any that were not at least good and most were excellent. I'm trying to find out if Game of Thrones is on that level.
In part I am asking because on the Dabn LeBatard Show "Stugatz" said that you can skip several episodes each season because they aren't really relevant to the main plot.
Can't really compare them as they are so different, both made for some excellent TV entertainment though. I don't even know if I can classify them as top 10, but they must be right up there close. When I go back to great TV shows with decent budgets and top rated acting & writing, the first show that really comes to mind is Lonesome Dove, although that was more of a mini-series than several seasons of episodic TV. HBO, besides GoT, also produced the Sopranos, Band of Brothers, Big Love, Boardwalk Empire, The Newsroom, True Blood, True Detective & Deadwood, more quality TV programing with very high viewership. For me, as good as GoT has been, it isn't comparable to the Lord of the Rings as far as production value, but one must consider the budgets of those blockbuster movies. TV is getting better every year, the filming/directing, the acting and writing follows the budget, just like the movies, and now that we are seeing more streaming services from production companies associated with major studios, the profits are coming in for higher grade programming.
I can't speak to what other networks are producing these days because other than football, I gave up on Network TV several years ago, I just can't deal with 12 minutes of commercials for every 30 minutes worth of program. I didn't watch Breaking Bad until I could stream it without commercials, and that was all people said it would be, great TV.
