I really need to watch this show. Then maybe I can agree with your assessment. Not saying I disagree mind you.
Breaking Bad is The Greatest Show EVER!!!

Fuck The Wire. Fuck Game of Thrones. Fuck The Sopranos. Fuck any other show at me because you are wrong. The episode I just watched proved it. I was shaking afterwards! That episode was fucking poetry!
Ok, I'm going to back up. If you aren't watching breaking bad, start now. It has some of the best writing, acting, and directing I've seen in anything EVER! Seriously, just watch. The show isn't afraid to be brutal, dark, awkward, or to take it's time. It takes the slow burn, and moments that other shows would gloss over, this show will make an entire episode out of, and it will engage you as much as an episode with firefights and gunshots. Also, this show makes you feel the weight of EVERY DEATH! A death in this show is a monumental moment that has build up, and will destroy the balance of the show.
The show is also fucking hilarious when it needs to be. The humour in this show is pitch black, but I'll be damned if it isn't funny. The second episode showcases this perfectly:
Though unfortunately some dickhead put music over the scene and ruined it. Oh well.
The big thing about Breaking Bad is how the main character evolves. He starts out as a good guy and eventually becomes one of the more evil characters on tv... AND YOU STILL FUCKING SYMPATHISE WITH HIM! This show is SO morally ambiguous, and just... It's thrilling. It's fun. It's dark. It will make you feel more emotions in a single scene than you will in most entire shows.
Just watch breaking bad already!
