Self-explanatory. Discuss!

Is this serious?

Whadya mean? This is the off-topic board, and I wanted to see if some people share my opinion. I love both series, but if this is about me making a lot of threads, I have a lot of thoughts.

Here's the thing. Breaking Bad had a more thick cohesive plot, but you eventually become numb to violence and people dying, destroying the value of the WHAM moments. With House, it was more formulaic, but when sh**t got real, it hit hard. Kutner's simple death had much more impact than Gus because it was rarer. Same with cars meeting houses. You knew House is an ass, but you're more surprised when he goes that far, when you are waiting for Walt to do something like that. I still love Breaking Bad for many reasons, but House felt more impactful.
