rofl no way is breaking bad better creative fiction than the wire
breaking bad is full of holes and small world narrative. Dude was killed in the street by a kid! Jesse ends up fucking a woman and it turns out her brother was the kid who killed Jesse's Lt! Bububububut ACTUALLY, he works for the gang who is under Gus' employ! So he becomes a dumbass like usual, they kill the kid as an act of retribution! Crappy, small, convenient crap like that is not good creative fiction. Breaking Bad makes ABQ feel like it has a population total of 20 people.
And this is coming from a fan of the show.
