Tony plugging Chris nose is one of my favorite scenes -

maybe b/c...oh i dont know...the show was about him in the first place?

ehhh
other story lines branched off from him. I mean, the show is called "Grey's Anatomy" but it stopped being primarily about the character whose last name is Grey years ago
From jump, you knew Walter was the center of the show. he has cancer and was trying to provide a financial nest egg for his family in the event of his timely demise, then you watched him morph into the person he ultimately ended up being. -
The SopranosIm sayind tho the title of the show is his damn name so the sopranos already set it up that it's about tony and the drama around his "family"
BB was the walt show...it's not a bad thing per se but a show like that isn't on the same level as sopranos, the wire (to me) cuz there's no drop off when main protagonists aren't on the screen. Outside of gus and mike i really didn't gaf about anybody else. Not even jesse. -
I refuse to choose, both are classics.

I prefer BB, but this is true. BB had a better supporting cast then you give them credit for, but Sopranos still gets the nod. -

im so confused by your response
when was BB at any time not about Walter White?
you are suggesting the show isnt as good as TS b/c its centered around one character? -
The SopranosThe Wire is still my favorite television show of all-time. I loved that show because it rang so true and really showed how a lot of factors that most wouldn't think (if they've never been in that type of environment) connects actually do connect. It shows how some people are thrust into drug dealing and how many people are involved into the trade. It's a great story and the main character of The Wire isn't McNulty, it's Baltimore.
As far as these 2 great shows I gotta go with the Soprano's. Nobody on Breaking Bad was likable besides maybe the baby. My Favorite characters If I was forced to choose would be Gus and maybe Jessie. Soprano's was a good story with a lot of interesting characters -
Breaking BadEasy choice for me. Boardwalk Empire and The Wire are both better than The sopranos.
Btw, the wire is more about Baltimore being ? up from top to bottom than it is about anything else. -

No...I'm saying BB didn't develop it's side characters that much (outside of jesse) so when walt wasn't onscreen the show lulled in a lot of places imo. It was one dimensional in that way and I prefer a show to have other ? going on then just the main character(s). -

they were vessels that moved the story along. Nothing more
Do you really need a backstory on skinny Pete and badger? lol. I mean, they were funny, but not necessary to move the story along.
I mean, we got a better call saul spinoff that features some other characters, so maybe in that universe, its just not meant for those people to carry the show b/c it centered around Walt -
The Wire-The Sopranos-Breaking Bad Are The 3 Best TV/Cable Dramas Ever IMO....I Really Cant Pick One Over The Other I Love Them Equally For Different Reasons...The Tense Suspense Of Breaking Bad...The Rich Fleshed Out Universe Of The Sopranos And The Fly On The Wall Documentary Style Of The Wire...I Refuse To Pick Goddamit

Lmao it ain't that serious. Just give me compelling side stories and characters that give me something to hold on to.
I'm not knocking BB at all. It's one of the GOATs. But the sopranos is just on another level cuz it was "colorful" -
Breaking BadNever watched sopranos
