I will wait until the end to confirm my opinion. A show as magnificent as that doesn't need your approval. You should've followed it from the beginning or at the very least already watched it twice by now like the rest of the world. Now, like everything else here you're trying too hard to make up for lost time and effort. Breaking Bad is an American drama series that aired on AMC from January 20, 2008, to September 29, 2013. It was nominated for a variety of different awards, including fifty-eight Primetime Emmy Awards (sixteen wins), twenty-seven Saturn Awards (twelve wins), twenty Writers Guild of America Awards (six wins), sixteen Television Critics Association Awards (four wins), fifteen Satellite Awards (eight wins), thirteen Critics' Choice Television Awards (six wins), eleven Screen Actors Guild Awards (three wins), seven Golden Globe Awards (two wins), four Directors Guild of America Awards (two wins), and five Producers Guild of America Awards (two wins). Amongst the wins for the series are three Saturn Awards for Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series, three Satellite Awards for Best Television Series – Drama, and two Peabody Awards.
Several different Breaking Bad actors have received acting award nominations. Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Anna Gunn are the only actors to win Primetime Emmy Awards, with Cranston winning three consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. "Face Off" and "Ozymandias" are both the most nominated single episodes of the series, receiving nominations for seven different awards. The series premiere, "Pilot", received six nominations, winning four, including two Primetime Emmy Awards. "No Mas" and "ABQ" are the tied third most nominated episodes, with four. Breaking Bad was nominated for 262 awards and won 110.The 1st episode...6 nominations...4 Emmys. THAT shudda been your first clue...then there are all the posts raving about it, the people you probably ignore at work talking about it, the family members you ignore talking about it, the media online and in print that you ignored all these years but yeah, we'll all wait for you to tell us that it's one of the if not THE greatest television show to ever air. We'll all wait with baited breath on your opinion.
