Breaking Bad vs. The Sopranos | Finale Face-off

(MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF BOTH SERIES!!! DO NOT WATCH IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE ENDING OF EACH SHOW SPOILED!!!)

Hello everyone and welcome to my “Finale Face-off” series in which I take two television series I consider to be thematically similar or complementary if you will and I break down why I consider one series’ conclusion to be a finale that “worked”, which is to say I found it to be thematically consistent with the series as a whole, while I consider the other show’s conclusion to be one that did not work, in that the resolution of the narrative didn’t quite mesh with what preceded it.

And in good ol’ coming in strong fashion, we are to begin this series with two of the towering juggernauts of the golden age of television, shows that broke ground while simultaneously setting a benchmark for all other television shows to come, and which are positively unarguably two of the greatest television programs of all time: Breaking Bad and The Sopranos.

Stick around at the end of the video for a thanks to my Patrons as well as a selected quote from each series which I consider to be one of my favorites!
