A fan war between Breaking Bad and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has led to coordinated review bombing on IMDb. As a result, Ozymandias lost its perfect 10/10 rating after holding the record for 12 years

For 12 years, the Breaking Bad episode titled Ozymandias from Season 5 held the top spot as the perfect TV episode. On Internet Movie Database (IMDb), the episode maintained a flawless 10/10 rating until a few days ago. However, a wave of review bombing triggered by a fan war has caused the rating to drop from its perfect score after 12 years. Currently, Ozymandias stands at 9.8, making it the fourth top-rated episode of Breaking Bad. So what caused the sudden review bombing after more than a decade? Have viewers suddenly found flaws in the episode? Not really.
The reason behind Ozymandias losing its perfect rating reportedly lies with fans of Game of Thrones. The latest series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is a prequel to Game of Thrones. Its recent episode, In the Name of the Mother, was released on HBO on February 15. It immediately garnered a perfect 10 on IMDb, becoming only the second episode in television history- after Ozymandias- to achieve the feat.
