Re: Breakng Bad/Better Call Saul
Finally finished watching Breaking Bad, what a great ending to a great series.
I'm kinda sad it all came to an end though, I was really getting attached to the characters

Re: Breakng Bad/Better Call Saul
Loved this show
Im curious to know in a few years where it'll stand in peoples 'all time' lists and how it holds up against Sopranos etc. For me it's right up there but whether it'll drop in time I don't know.
Re: Breakng Bad/Better Call Saul
I don't think this show will ever be compared to the "great" Sopranos.
And when I say great... what I actually mean is OVER-RATED Sopranos. The last two years of the Sopranos were utter shit, especially the last year. The first year was overrated, and the prime of the show was NEVER what it was reputed to be.
The point is THE SHIELD was a FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BETTER series than either of these two (although I got major love for Breaking Bad), and The Shield will never make a Top-10 list, nor will it ever eclipse The Sopreenos.
I'm sorry, but i'm just so goddamn sick of hearing about The Sopranos. What an overrated show. One of the greatest ones to ever air, but the best? Puhleeze. Andy Griffith, All In The Family, early-era Happy Days & early-era Dallas, The Rockford Files (where David Chase got his start), Hill Street Blues, early-era A-Team, Miami Vice, The Equalizer, Tales From The Crypt, The X-Files, Wiseguy, Seinfeld, NYPD Blue, Everybody Loves Raymond, early-era Simpsons, the first few years of Stargate SG-1, 24 (even today), The Shield, Deadwood, Breaking Bad...
Then I might tack on The Sopranos.

this is absolutely one of the worst, most idiotic posts i've read on this forum - & that's high fucking praise. such total dumbass horseshit.
i love the shield, great show, but it'd struggle to get into the top 5 cop/crime shows ever, never mind touch the top 3.
it's too cartoony, too much weighed down by make-do actors & reliant on the silly overblown writing style of american action shows - the action being the strongest suit, the convoluted empty handed cack-handled nonsensical plots the weakness. & what is it w/these jokers having to give their goddamn wives starring roles in these shows?!
comparing the shield to the soprano's is like comparing pulp to dostoevsky.
the last two seasons of the soprano's were fucking terrific. the handling of johnny sack's cancer, jnr's dementia, aj's breakdown were all par for the course on a show that excelled in subplots. all of it handled with the same brilliance - subtlety & force - as the psychoanalysis or the separation of tony & carmella. the ultimate distancing between tony & christopher is one of the greatest storylines the show did.
seriously some of the shite you've listed above is embarrassing. you shouldn't admit to watching some of that gash.
get real, man.
as for breaking bad, yea it was a fun show that got completely overhyped & taken to extremes. it was a fun, cool show but people got carried away.
