I put one star to say that if you're looking at the one star ratings, all of these raters must not know a masterpiece when they see one. Breaking bad has a higher rating than Game of Thrones which speaks volumes. Currently, breaking bad is ranked #3 for the highest rated shows in history on IMDb. Breaking bad has won 28 awards in total. If you haven't seen it yet and you're looking at these bad reviews, just remember that a total of 4% didn't like the show, the other 96% did. So don't listen to the minority of haters and give it a go, you won't regret it.
