Breaking Bad is inarguably one of the greatest TV shows ever, much less one of the greatest crime dramas ever, but the genre is so packed with excellent series that the only shows that can be considered better than Breaking Bad also just so happen to be crime dramas.
When Breaking Bad ended in 2013 , it almost instantly ended up somewhere on everyone's lists of the best TV shows . A show about a downtrodden chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin was an incredibly rich idea, and with its cast and creative team, it was always destined for enduring acclaim.
That Breaking Bad happens to be a crime drama and is highly acclaimed is not a coincidence. Crime dramas are incredibly popular , both with audiences and with showrunners. It seems like the magnum opus for most showrunners
