In all honesty, THE WIRE is almost flawless. It's still rated 9.5 on imdb and it's not even current any longer, ended a few years ago. Not sure BREAKING BAD will stand the test of time, but we shall see.
I was looking up the Oscars the other day, and couldn't help notice that DANCES WITH WOLVES beat out GOODFELLAS. It's almost gut busting laughable now to think about. Rotten Tomatoes has GOODFELLAS at 98%.
Not saying THE WIRE and BREAKING BAD should be compared like this, but this last season will say a lot about it's legacy. Like I said. I didn't like the last two episodes last season and where they went and what it said about the characters motivations, even tried to question this on the AMC blog dedicated to BB and it's creator, but got shot down by the idolizing fan boys of course, but maybe he took it into account and will patch up some of the logic.
