Overview
- Breaking Bad’s Season 5 episode “Ozymandias” fell from a long-held 10.0 to 9.9, with reports noting roughly 300,000-plus user ratings and a drop to around ninth place.
- Episode 5 of HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms briefly reached 10.0 before sliding to about 9.8 and dropping out of IMDb’s Top 10.
- Recent 1‑star reviews on both episodes include explicit references to the rival shows, which reporters cite as evidence of reciprocal downvoting.
- IMDb’s Top Rated Episodes list is now led by Six Feet Under’s series finale at 9.9 from a far smaller vote pool, reflecting how decimal sorting can reshuffle standings.
- Coverage underscores uncertainty over whether the activity is organized or organic, and the articles cite no public statement from IMDb on the changes.
