Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad??


Both are raved by millions. One contains Dragons, gore and Sean Bean dying. The other containing crystal meth, a school teacher and a chicken restaurant. But which is better? (In my opinion of course.)


First Game of Thrones, now in its fourth season it is more than going strong. The plot has taken many twists and turns, most noticeably some certain main characters dying unexpectedly (will mention no names!) The best part of the show in my opinion is the characters, and how they change with the circumstances they find them self in. Game of Thrones always has the tendency to turn a character from a "baddy" to a "goody" in the space of a few episodes. Obviously there are some characters who are just too far gone to be good, one Joffrey stands out in the category. When asked about how he felt about being hated worldwide for his role as Joffrey, Jack Gleeson said, "well it means I'm doing my job?"

Now Breaking Bad, it's near impossible to not write a whole blog on how good it is. At first you meet a 'normal', high school chemistry teacher Walter White. By the end he is anything but those. At first he turns to crystal meth producing to help his family for when he dies of what looks like terminal lung cancer. However this fast track pension scheme quickly turns into a drug itself. Fuelled by past failures Walter or 'Heisenberg' as he refers to himself as, attempts to create a drug empire built on his blue crystal meth. This leads him to do things which make the show truly gripping. Also the fact his partner in crime is an ex student of his just adds to the already bubbling cauldron. The plot is flawless, the cast flawless. Just one of those shows that you didn't want to end.

So obviously I prefer Breaking Bad as I personally find it more gripping, as my only criticism of Game of Thrones is that some episodes can come across pointless and honestly, quite boring. But hey, everyone likes something different.
