The best thing in this show is how they changed the protagonist from a good person which we admired to an evil one. I would never believed when I was in first seasons that I would hate him in the end.So I recently started on season 5 - literally the first episode.
This show, for me, is up there with the Soprano's.
Depending on how good the overall ending is, I suspect it could be the best drama in television history.
Once I've finished season 5 (so far) I think I'll watch the Wire and compare.
Fully deserved even though I would have loved to see Giancarlo win itAaron Paul (Jesse) won an Emmy for best supporting actor yesterday.
Agreed.Mad Men is tediously boring though.
It's had a few humerous bits, but I think the show has went past the fun times and is now treading darker waters.Mad men is fantastic. I must say I've found this series of Breaking Bad to be slightly underwhelming, it's still fantastic but it doesn't have nearly as much humour as the other series have had.
It was brilliant seeing Homeland beat them to the 3 big awards!Mad Men was nominated for 17 different stuff and ended up with nothing
It never ceases to amaze me how two people can watch or read the same thing and come away with utterly different impressions. As far as I'm concerned it's some of the best scripted television I've ever seen.Mad Men is tediously boring though.
Focusing too much on Megan cost them I reckon.Mad Men was nominated for 17 different stuff and ended up with nothing
That's from last year
Second best. Game of Thrones is the best.best show on television
Not a fan of madmen at all.I have yet to watch Game of Thrones, Mad men, or to my eternal shame The Sopranos.
They are my next three projects after Breaking Bad.
Hell yes. Oh how I'd love to watch that again for the first time.Not a fan of madmen at all.
If you haven't seen The Shield you should put it on your list of things to watch.
I also liked the shield more than the wire although i enjoyed both, I always felt the wire took quite a few episodes each season to get into it where the shield was just fantastic from episode 1Summer 2013.
Yeah I wish I had never seen it either. Felt the same with The Wire once it was done, but although The Wire is probably a better made show there was just some gritty quality that I liked with The Shield. I think it was because the Wire focused on both sides of the fence and showed more of the mayor and other high flyers, whereas The Shield was 90% about the strike team, with some other stuff thrown in.
Loved all of it but I especially liked season 5 with Kavangh.
