Breaking Bad.

And it's not close. The best show on TV now, and one of the best ever.

Sons of Anarchy is sort of a fun watch, or it was, but it is laughable now. Lots of dudes standing around, talking all hard in gravelly whispery voices, getting in shootouts where notbody, you know gets shot. Really gets stupid.

Walking Dead also watchable but not the caliber of Breaking Bad.

Dexter started very strong. But has gone on way too long. Series jumped the shark about 3 seasons ago.

Breaking Bad has real, believable characters. Very good villains, you root for Walter White but increasingly hate yourself for it. It had a planned story arch, finishing scar face style after a planned five seasons. Jesse gradually becomes the moral center of the story.

A modern masterpiece.

This is actually a great show. Doesn't hold up to Breaking Bad, but a very good show.

The characters are too quick witted and fast talking to be believable. To scripted and not so credible.

But I'm watching it. It's a great looking show. Hate they're going with a "made up" story for season two because I enjoy the reality based part of it.

Breaking Bad is right up there with The Sopranos. Maybe better. Tony Soprano made the anti-hero possible. In some ways, he's the best all time anti-hero. Walter White has multiple ways out, but just chooses to turn to the dark side. Tony Soprano was trapped from birth. I watch Sopranos every time it is on.

Very good summation of the series.

Which is your favorite and why?



Hmmmmm......

1. Breaking Bad-Every episode is really good. Bryan Cranston absolutely man handles his character of Walt. Storyline is great.

2. Walking Dead- I watch it religiously, but it is hit and miss on episodes. One episode I am so amazed and then the next I am left high and dry. I like the different approach with the zombies as well.

3. SOA- Really good show, just need one character to hurry up and be killed off and I will like it more.

4. Dexter- I have only watched like one episode. They need to put it on netflix.

Game of Thrones
Dexter
Breaking Bad
Homeland
Walking Dead
Hell on Wheels
House of Cards


Some BBC shows I recently watched and highly recommend
The Fall (check out this show if you like Dexter)
Sherlock

Sons of Anarchy doesn't hold a candle to any of these shows IMO

lost interest after such a long hiatus between season 1 and season 2. Haven't seen it since season 1.


Good.
Skip season 2, read it on Wikipedia or some shite, then go right into watching season 3.

SOA. First because Gemma is a total MILF!!! Plus it's an awesome storyline with good action. Biker gangs make these gang bangers look like pussies.
