if it did take itself overly seriously it probably wouldn't have aired given how dark most of the story is.
Even the premise of the show is dark as feck.

In IMDB it is the third most rated TV Show (after The Wire and Game of Thrones). Also I think that is rated high everywhere so I don't think that is that far of.I fecking love BB, but even I realize it's no way near the GOAT debate. Mad Men is the only thing currently airing that can put itself in that, and even then, it's probably a bit off the top top dogs of TV really.
You can only rate a TV show by how much you personally like, and for those who this it's the best, it is the best. There's not really much to it and people calling it the greatest of all time doesn't really mean much. There are people for whom things like eastenders is the best TV show of all time, which most of us will find laughable but so what? It's their GOAT. There's no such thing as a definitive GOAT in things as subjective as TV shows.I fecking love BB, but even I realize it's no way near the GOAT debate.

Loved that bit. It's the throw and the way the pizza lands perfectly flat.
Ermmm, people who want something they can stick on whenever and don't want something too serious?Who cares how seriously a TV show takes it self if it is a good show?
Yeah, I sort of discount Wire in all these best show of all time debates. Only Deadwood for me compares to Wire but given it was unfinished, it falls short as well.I don't think I'll ever in my lifetime see a show that matches The Wire, but Breaking Bad isn't exactly "far off", it'll certainly go down as one of the greatest if they manage to deliver a great final eight episodes.
Mad Men is fecking shit!I fecking love BB, but even I realize it's no way near the GOAT debate. Mad Men is the only thing currently airing that can put itself in that, and even then, it's probably a bit off the top top dogs of TV really.
Well summed up.Mad Men is fecking shit!
I'm feeling the same about The Wire.I don't get the Mad Men hype either, been watching quite a few episodes and it hasn't come anywhere close to drawing me in. Only reason I persisted was Christina Hendricks.
You need to persevere with the wire, its takes a while to get going, especially since there are a wide array of characters. Once you get a bit familiar with them, you'll start getting into the show and soon enough you will love it, I can guarantee you that!! So stick with itI'm feeling the same about The Wire.
Never seen it before but everyone on here raves about it like it's the best show ever. The first two episodes have been pretty decent but nothing so special I want to stay up till stupid o'clock marathoning it like I did with Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones.
Which scene are you talking about? Spoiler it for those who haven't watched The Sopranos yet.I've seen all of the Sopranos and to date, I've seen all of Breaking Bad.
I will reserve final judgement on the big three until I complete the Wire and Breaking bad.
As it stands depending on Breaking Bad's finale, it will at least match the Soprano's.
Incredible television show with one of the only moments in my t.v. viewing life where I've felt genuinely shocked. One scene in particular will remain with me for my whole life.

Isn't he talking about BB?Which scene are you talking about? Spoiler it for those who haven't watched The Sopranos yet.
I don't find drama all that subjective(comedy, yeah sure, a bit more subjective)....YOUR favourite and the actual best are two different things. For instance, I don't consider some of my favourites the best in their field. I prefer BB to MM, but it's not a better show.You can only rate a TV show by how much you personally like, and for those who this it's the best, it is the best.

Echoing what Poisson said, I can't stress how persistent you need to be with it. Its a slow-burner and I'm usually very impatient when it comes to TV shows but it eventually got to a point where I blitzed an entire season in about a day and a half.I'm feeling the same about The Wire.

I think the problem was that in the first episode the only thing of note that really happened was the court case and they never established any reason why we should give a shit before it. The choice works out once you get to know the characters, but it made the first episode hard work IMO.I got hooked on The Wire from S01E01, but I can understand people taking a while to get fully addicted, rest assured once it clicks you'll not look back.
I tried again and I was still bored shitless. What is interesting about it? I'm genuinely interested because I can't see anything and it amazes me that people keep listing it up with shows like Breaking Bad.Yeah WIbble, we get it, you don't like Mad Men.
I'm currently on S04EP03 on Breaking Bad, Adzzz. Out of curiosity, have I already seen this particular scene or is it still to come?Incredible television show with one of the only moments in my t.v. viewing life where I've felt genuinely shocked.
