Breaking Bad vs The Sopranos

[Finch]

So I'm a huge fan of the show Breaking Bad. It's my top pick of all time but it's constantly compared to The Sopranos.

I just finished watching The Sopranos. What a commitment but hey, it's winter. I honestly don't see how it could be considered the best. I've rewatched BB a few times but don't think I could commit to doing that with the Sopranos.

Which was your favorite?

The sopranos was great in its day but also didn’t age well. Not sure if it’s the writing or not but breaking bad could have been made yesterday and would still hold up today. The wire holds up over time - similar old school feel

Yes, I might have to put The Wire over the Sopranos.

Loved them both, but the Wire is my all time favorite.

Combine Better Call Saul in the BB world and it's by far the best I've watched.

Loved the sopranos but not in the same league as BB.

BB will be studied and broken down for a long long time. It seems to be aging very well.

Both were great. Probably BB.

It depends on what you’re entertained by. The level of authenticity in the Sopranos has probably never been touched by another crime drama series.

I’ve rewatched The Sopranos 2-3x. I actually gave up on BB about halfway through but eventually came back and finished it.

I watch clips of both on FB regularly but would say I found the Sopranos more entertaining.
