I don’t know if you’ve heard, but a small, loud and annoying subset of Game Of Thrones and Breaking Bad supporters are in a race to the bottom. Unappointed champions from each fanbase are hitting the other’s most acclaimed episodes with one star negative reviews on IMDB in order to push the average scores down. It’s working. It’s also maybe the most embarrassingly online thing that’s ever happened, and I need to talk about how much I hate it.
Before I throw my middle fingers up, there’s some backstory we should go over that explains what’s going on. Until recently, Breaking Bad’s epic final season triumph “Ozymandias” has been the highest rated episode of any show ever made on IMDB. It’s been the only episode with a straight up ten rating, which is incredibly impressive, given it’s been rated hundreds of thousands of times. It’s not, however, the only great episode of TV in history.
