 The Breaking Bad episode "Ozymandias" is considered the best episode in television history and is still the only one with a 10/10 rating on IMDB.

The word "Ozymandias" is known from a poem by Percy Shelley published in 1818, in which the image of a statue of Ozymandias describes the inevitable fall of all leaders and empires, no matter how powerful they were in their time. In the series, we see Walter White fall to the sand, as was the case with the famous statue. In 2013, #BreakingBad released a short promotional video in which Bryan Cranston reads the entire poem.
