    Breaking Bad is definitely superior and Heisenberg's rap was better, but I thought Rick's voice was closer to the character.

    Only just started watching Breaking Bad this week - Only 2 episodes in.

    Have to say based on just the first two episodes of both series, TWD is ahead so far - But I'm sure BB will build from what I've read


    I'm amazed at the production quality of these youtube videos!

    I think Rick was closer in terms of voice, and well, personally I found his rap a little better than Heisenberg's.

    Neat video.

    Neil - I liked BB from the get-go, but it did take me until part-way into season two before it really clicked with me. Then I was merrily tumbling down the blue meth rabbit hole.

    @ neil:

    breaking bad takes a little bit to start building steam, but by season 3, i knew it was probably going to go down as one of my favorite shows ever. it literally just keeps picking up momentum, and by the final season, it's such a different show show with a totally different vibe than what it started out as.

    bb had the advantage of having an ending destination in mind, so the show had a clear idea of what it wanted to be and where it wanted to go from early on....while TWD suffers from a bit of an identity crisis here and there and has way too many filler episodes and pacing issues.

    both are good in their own way, but i have a feeling your opinion might flip as to which show is better. to each his own, regardless.

    Yeah....As mentioned above, I liked the earlier episodes of Breaking Bad but the show really gets you on the hook around the middle of Season Two to Season Three. Season One is a short one like TWD because of a writer's strike, so you'll be addicted(no pun intended) before you know it.

    Neil's going to start binge watching and he'll be on here talking about the series finale in only a few week's time.

    I'm watching it as/when I can, along with True Detective at the moment...

    I still have to give True Detective a try. I've heard lots of good things, just haven't had a chance to check it out yet. I'm currently making my way through Sons of Anarchy. Not a bad show by any means, but I'm finding it a bit lacking compared to recent great shows like Breaking Bad.

    I also noticed Bates Motel is on instant Netflix, so that's on my radar as well....

    True Detective is akin to BB I'd suggest; It takes a few episodes to get going, but then it's slow burning drama comes to the front

    I'm 5 episodes in (out of 8) and really enjoying it now! At 1-3 I wasn't sure!

    'True Detective' is pretty good. It dips a bit in the middle section, but rises again at the end.

    But, well worth a watch.

    Okay, finally got a chance to watch this and Walter White had a great sign off, but the guy doing Rick had a better flow and also sounded great ala Rick Grimes.
