In Reply to: AMC has a formula, make a show edgy and foul and then create different genres posted by PhilJ on September 13, 2012 at 14:42:38:
AMC has been showing interesting shows that don't often work. Breaking Bad is one of the best things on tv right now (I would pick only Justified and Homeland over it). A couple of years ago, I thought Rubicon was a really good show but it didn't make it. Walking Dead is a frustrating show but a show I have stuck with. It is based upon a comic/graphic novel and has limitations of budget. I think it is worthwhile but would be in the bottom third of the shows I like. The next season is going into a different direction with some new characters and I am looking forward to more frustration. I don't watch Mad Men and I gave up on Hell on Wheels. Sometimes the concept is good but it just doesn't go anywhere.
