Breaking Bad Vs Game of Thrones

[spider-neil]

Game of Thrones is now the subject of much ridicule but the first 4 seasons are as good as it gets. The reason why I personally prefer The Wire and Breaking Bad is that both of those shows are consistently strong from beginning to end and have incredible series finales. For me, GoT drops the ball badly after season 4. My favorite shows like Twilight Zone, X-Files, Lost, Dexter, either have lacklustre filler episodes (Twilight Zone, X-Files) or the quality of the show dips after a strong opening (GoT) or drop the ball in the series finale (Lost, Dexter).

The Wire and BB have almost no filler episodes, pretty much every single episode pushes the narrative forwards or reveals insight into the characters (or both) and both series end spectacularly.
