IMHO Breaking Bad is exactly like modern day X-Files. That’s why I hated it. BB happens in TV reality. It all feels incredibly fake, artificial and manufactured. In the 90s that’s all we had: fairly small and disjointed TV shows built on common tropes and similarly produced. Breaking Bad is a modern show that pretends to be more complex but in reality just regurgitates all the same tropes. That’s why it was so popular: it was same old stuff in shiny new packaging.
Comment on Why'd they stopped making tv shows as good as x-files?

OP, are you sure you’re not conflating the X-Files being your favorite show with it being good? Because Breaking Bad exists and that came out after X-Files. Also is arguably better than the X-Files lol

I hate breaking bad. Take that for what it’s worth. I hate it even more after people recommended it to me specifically praising how good of a show it was.

Fair enough - everybody’s tastes are different. Fwiw I didn’t really enjoy the X-Files that much when I watched it, but I have heard the same thing that it’s a really good show.

Only the first like 4 seasons were good.

Maybe you don’t want to believe… and there is nothing wrong with that. Just know the truth is out there…
