Sherlock vs Breaking Bad

Comparing Breaking Bad and Sherlock is far more difficult than comparing the lead characters of the two great shows. Sherlock Holmes of Sherlock is cleverer, smarter and simply put better than Walter White of Breaking Bad. But as I said, comparing the two shows is harder than comparing these two characters. This could only mean one thing that when you compare the rest part of these shows, the competition is really tough. Even one sided.

Breaking Bad
Sherlock









I've watched both of these shows completely. While Breaking Bad is clinically addictive, Sherlock is insanely awesome. It is absolutely right to say that Breaking Bad is way closer to reality than Sherlock, but why be close to reality when it is just a television show. The flow of story in Breaking Bad is better than Sherlock, Sherlock's stories does not need to connect with each other in continuity while Breaking Bad offers a flawless portrayal of person turning really-really bad. Sherlock focuses on its characters and the story revolves around them as the show takes many twists and turns making the hero win in all cases. On the other hand, the story of Breaking Bad governs the fate of the likability and importance of the characters. The hero of the show isn't always the one with which the audiences are. As is the name of the show, the lead character Walter White, turns really BAD, and by bad I mean you will hate what he does as the story opens up. Sherlock Holmes on the other hand being all bad ass and everything, is loved continuously and admired immensely by the audience.  
In short, Breaking Bad is like the main course of food which is complete and satisfying and Sherlock is like the desert in the end of a meal that leaves you shocked and thrilled. Breaking Bad being the main course generally goes with its considerable effect and yet unnoticed but the desert- Sherlock, gives you the time of your life and appeals you see it again and again as you are never quite satisfied.
My verdict- Breaking Bad is basically better than Sherlock because it doesn't uses the liberty of being a fiction by laughing at the face of reality and brings more to the table. In any case both shows are great .
