 "True Detective" vs. "Breaking Bad" Season 5.2 - Your fave The two are obviously the most beloved recent pieces of television and wll duke it out at the Emmys. This thread is about personal preference of two aspects: best series and best leading performance. You can pick both in the poll.
I find it extremely tough, but I'd give both to "Breaking Bad". "True Detective" and McConaughey probably would have won for me in most other years.

Re: "True Detective" vs. "Breaking Bad" Season 5.2 - Your fa I like that a thread about two specific shows and which of these two specific shows was better quickly and unnecessarily became about The Good Wife, Mad Men and Fargo thus far, only six replies in.
And don't get all uptight Libs. I'm only half-joking.

Such is the current nature of WOKJ, all cool, snarky and above-all. And Libs did reply to the question at least. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: "True Detective" vs. "Breaking Bad" Season 5.2 - Your fa Breaking Bad by a mile. Episode 4 of Detective was incredible, one of the best episodes of television I've seen. Seven out of the eight Breaking Bads were at or near that level.

Re: "True Detective" vs. "Breaking Bad" Season 5.2 - Your fa I feel the same way Lecter. I don't know, I see Julianna Margulies, Christine Baranski and legal drama and I just don't get excited. Nothing wrong with any of those factors, singularly or combined, but I just don't get it.
Same with Scandal.

Re: "True Detective" vs. "Breaking Bad" Season 5.2 - Your fa I did get the first two seasons of "The Good Wife" based on Libs' gushing alone. As far as drama series are concerned, she and I seem to have a similar taste, so... It is just difficult to imagine.

Re: "True Detective" vs. "Breaking Bad" Season 5.2 - Your fa TRUE DETECTIVE's great but BREAKING BAD 5.2 is the strongest season of television I've ever seen. And fantastic as McConaughey was, Cranston in "Ozymandias" runs laps around him.

The Good Wife is incredible, especially this past season. The quality is on par with any prestige cable series, which is even more of an accomplishment considering they have 22 episodes and not 12. I'm glad you picked up the first two seasons. It's my favorite show, honestly. Can't wait to hear what you think
