Reply to comment by keeltheone in is Power on the same level as Breaking Bad? by Retrofusion11

how big of a quality gap are we talking?

Power seemed to be more grounded overall, Breaking Bad had unrealistic moments at times

Basically it’s the difference between some gum you found on the ground that was being used as a hobo urinal Vs dinner at a Michelin three-starred restaurant.

I enjoyed both shows, to be honest.

That was very much a deliberate part of what made Breaking Bad so great. It perfectly balanced its more serious moments with a bit of over-the-top pulpiness.
