Breaking bad is a plot heavy thrill ride, done in the best possible way. I think it is the most clever, well-plotted show that I have ever seen. In the Sopranos the plot means almost nothing, it is about the world and the characters, with psychological depth in the place of tight plotting. The whole thing is kind of a big sloppy mess, and I love it for that. They are both masterpieces but I have to give the nod to the Sopranos. And that’s not even taking into consideration that the Sopranos was one of the shows that sort of started it all in terms of the prestige TV era

Not exactly a single comment but one of my favorite theater experiences ever was seeing Phantom Thread in a small theater, about 10-15 people were there. The theater put the lights on as soon as the credits started rolling and I think the lights coming on combined with the super psychologically intense final scene of the movie resulted in all of us (strangers) just staying in our seats and talking about the movie. It’s the first and only time that’s ever happened to me and it was really cool.

I stuck with the Walking Dead through 7 or 8 seasons (which is about 5 seasons after I stopped enjoying it) for reasons I can’t quite explain. My attitude was something like “I watch the Walking Dead because I watch the Walking Dead”.
