For me, Sopranos was a much more entertaining show. There was just so much more going on. Character development was outstanding and all these side plots kept you tuning in. Early on with the mother, then Janice, Christopher, Paulie, Silvio, Archie, Junior, Johnny Sack, Carmela and the kids...list goes on. All deep characters and great plots. BB has no plots other than Walt, Hank and Jessie. Everything else is so sporadic and there seems to be no continuation. What happened to Jessie's parents after the house deal? That had potential. Saul? Not much there really. He knows a guy that knows another guy. But what else is happening in his life?
Sopranos took a bad turn with that half season during strike and the end few episodes seemed to be disjoined, but overall the show was more complex and entertaining.
I guess we will have to wait to see how BB ends, if it's unique (six sense type of unique) then great, but for now it seems that all plots have died. Jessie is a dead man walking or a slave. Maybe he will be saved by Walt. But what's so exciting about that? Hank angle is done obviously and sadly cause that was a great plot, the family side is done. The Neos? Who cares, really, they just entered the show. Lydia? She made what, 5 appearances in the entire show?
Taking the baby? What was that about? The baby was never a significant character. Everyone loves babies obviously, but the relationship is not as strong as Junior/Hank was. Too bad that was not a bigger part (Hank the Hero trying to jail Junior's Hero, his dad). Or something like that.
Anyways, rambling on, I am ready to be amazed by the last two episodes.
