Breaking Bad I think has a really really good chance of winning the whole tournament

[King Kota]

People voting rn

 

[Canadian Dragon]

just a bad matchup for Curb sadly

 

[King Kota]

Agreed voted bb but Curb is great show

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yeah from what I seen of it, it seemed like a good show. But yeah BB is a whole other level

 

[King Kota]

Curb has it demographic audience for sure tho

 

[Y2Jayne]

I thought BB was a good show but a bit overrated, I saw it a long time after it had ended and people had been praising it so much that I could only end up disappointed. I have never watched the other show so I'm voting BB anyway.

 

[Jay-Ashley]

I think Curb became more popular due to the meme reference to the end credits song

 

[Keith]

Tasty match. BB edges it for me. Maybe a bit overrated but still should go down as an time classic.

 

[Lady Redfield]

Breaking Bad, crushing, as it should be.
