I can only base my opinion off of the first two seasons of each. I've just started Breaking Bad yesterday, and have watched one and a half seasons. And I watched two seasons of Game Of Thrones when I had a DVD plan a while back on Netflix. That was all that was available to watch.
While fantasy/sci fi is my favorite genre. And Game Of Thrones had it's good moments in the first two seasons it was mostly boring to me. Too slow and dragged out for my tastes. And I have difficulty with boring. I was mostly forcing myself to watch it hoping it would get good at some point.
Breaking bad has been holding my attention right from the beginning, always something interesting going on. So at this point, from what I've watched of both so far I'm going with Breaking Bad.
Even though I'm enjoying Breaking Bad quite a bit, I don't think I could put this kind of show on my top favorites list. Of course my opinion on that could change by the time I finish it. But for me, I don't think I could put that style of show above, or even in the same realm as something like say. The 100, Battlstar Galactica, Fringe. Shows of that nature. if I had any one of those shows to watch for the first time right now, or something equivalent I probably wouldn't be watching Breaking Bad.
