Wikipedia: Breaking Bad leads TV dramas in top pages list
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/jan/10/wikipedia-top-pages-2013-breaking-bad
Summary of the story: This article talks about the TV drama Breaking Bad. This TV show ranked third in Wikipedia's English-language searches Photograph which was written and published by Frank Ockenfels. This was also one of the Wikipedia top 100 list in 2013.
key statistic and information:
- Oscar-winning actor Jennifer Lawrence was the highest woman on the list in 22nd place. Family Guy's Mila Kunis also made the top 100.
- The article listing deaths in 2013 featured in second place and Nelson Mandela, attracted sizeable attention, in 16th
In my opinion I think that breaking bad is a great show but not that great to be on of the popular TV dramas in 2013 as there are shows which are better bigger. This show is the most overrated show ever made.
