I've watched all of Saul and the El Camino movie.

I've only watched the first and last episodes of BB

I may get to it
 
Breaking Bad can get a little slow at times. But it's worth it for the highs which are off the charts.

One of the best guns in the history of TV.

I didn't think this one would be this close based on round one reactions. Good though. It should be close, and BB should win.
 
Breaking Bad was a nice show. It doesn’t have shit on The Wire.

I’ll never rewatch BB. I’m seen The Wire 5+ times.

BB was more action packed which ruins its best moments if you rewatch. I haven’t rewatched either and probably never will. Nothing is the same when you rewatch it. If I was watching in live time, I would be more excited to watch a new Breaking Bad episode than the Wire.
 
I can see how someone would vote for BB on entertainment value. That said, The Wire has a scope that’s hard to compete with. If you do rewatch The Wire, you’ll notice so many things you didn’t notice the first time.

Both shows are great in their own right.

This. Breaking Bad left me jaw dropped more frequently than the wire.
 
Don’t like voting against the Wire, but Breaking Bad was a buzzsaw. This should have been a finals match-up.

I like to make over the top condemnations when my picks xont win too so I get it. The Wire is awesome and worthy of the semis or even finals. BB has plenty on it though, for those who care to see.

I've watched BB front to back three times and the wire twice. The second viewing of the wire was hard for me to stick with at times. I wasnt seeing or hearing anything new. I could have turned off the sound and spoken the lines for them. I found things I missed, or just missed the point of, in every episode of Breaking Bad.

This!
 
This is the same group that eliminated OutKast and Wu Tang early in the rap tournament, so I think we have established the pattern.
