Agree with the Wire.
I think Sopranos could be shaved down by a season and a bit, but not by subtracting full seasons.
Can't speak to Breaking Bad: my kids and spouse were following it as it happened, but I never really dove in, figuring I'd binge it. Tried a few years back, but couldn't get past the first few episodes....
Also, Deadwood is an exception. Not the movie, though.
As someone who's watch BB in it's entirety at least a dozen times.. and BCS at least 6 times, and then El Camino 3 times... I just can't imagine not being able to "get past the first few episodes" of BB... but then again, I might have a a problem.
BRB, gonna start watching BB again.
