— Johnnie Paschen (@johnniemk) April 10, 2023It is a well-deserved achievement for an outstanding effort. However, it is also true that “Ozymandias” has maintained its 10/10 rating from a colossal 193 000 users, dwarfing the competition, which has been rated by 650 users thus far. Both are zeitgeist moments in television, yet it’s understandable why Breaking Bad fans aren’t eager to surrender the throne.
