10 TV Shows That Actually Get Better With Every Season
3. Breaking Bad
Breaking Bad had a tough first year cut short by the 2007 Writers Guild Strike, but from this brief derailment emerged as one of the most transcendently brilliant TV dramas ever made, alongside the likes of The Sopranos and The Wire.
An immaculately intense, slow-burn study of two radically different men caught up in a world neither were meant for, each season of Breaking Bad introduces more terrifying villains and cruel dramatic irony, more violence and twists of fate, and more unpredictability and crime.
Watching Walt and Jesse descend into the darkest corners of the New Mexico drug trade is thrilling and bleak, and brings to life an entire world that gets more frightening with every scene. By the end, it's reached a high like few shows before or since.
