    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.

    Neither is Breaking Bad.  It's on AMC, like Mad Men.


    I'd guess that it probably has something to do with the fact that you can get away with showing more bad shit on pay channels than on network TV.  Also, because people watch them.

    Ah yes, the Media Cycle of Grimderp.


    Okay, not all of those are Grimderp, but you get the idea.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Dexter


    Breaking Bad


    Sons of Anarchy


    Game of Thrones


    The Sopranos



    Dexter and The Sopranos are/were shown on free TV here, at least.

    They're HBO shows. So they're paid here.

    Ridi, Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto!

    AMC is not for pay, in America, as far as I know.
