for those that have seen both shows, I enjoy it a lot, do you consider the original Power show on the same level as Breaking Bad?

Is there like a soap opera named Breaking Bad that I am not aware of?

how big of a quality gap are we talking?
Power seemed to be more grounded overall, Breaking Bad had unrealistic moments at times

Are they both TV shows? Yes. And that’s about the only thing they have in common. BB is among the most well made shows in television history. Power was on TV. That’s about it.

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 can’t watch anything with that weird looking white guy from Power.
He looks like if an albino black guy had a 28 hour operation to look like a generic white guy.

I enjoyed both shows, to be honest.

Not even close. Power is a really good tv-show, but that is just showing how good BB really is.

Politely speaking, FUCK NO.

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.

Weird that everyone here hates Power but it actually has a 8.1 on IMDb. It shouldn't be that bad

I wanted to like Power and, on paper, it seemed like a show right up my alley, but it was simply not good. Meanwhile, BB is generally considered one of the best shows of all time.

lol. Empire was better than Power, and that was the campiest, most unintentionally hilarious show I've watched in recent years

I’d add Chernobyl to that list

The Wire and The Sopranos are the only crime dramas on the same level as Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

Never fully trust r/television when it comes to any minority led tv show.

Demographics read the room. That being said, I thought breaking bad was better in terms of character development. I could relate to characters more in power.

I like Power but absolutely not.

This comment section really makes me realize how insufferable BB fans are
kmank2l13 t1_j9x07b9 wrote
I do not.
Breaking Bad has some very consistent writing with their characters and storylines where as Power does not. There needs to be a suspension of belief when watching Power as some of their characters and their motives can be a little unbelievably at times.
