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
