This is a two-panel satirical meme arguing that the Breaking Bad series finale is unmatched in quality compared to poorly received later/final seasons of other popular TV shows. The top panel shows a public swimming pool: a struggling half-submerged boy is labeled 'The Boys S5', a happy girl held above water by a woman is labeled 'Stranger Things S5', and the woman holding her is labeled 'Game of Thrones S8', ranking these three disappointing seasons from worst to least bad in the eyes of fans. The bottom panel shows a skeleton sitting on a chair fully submerged at the pool bottom, labeled 'Walking Dead S11', implying this final season was received far more negatively than all the others shown. The core joke is that all listed seasons are widely considered letdowns, and none of them come close to the universal acclaim of Breaking Bad's finale.
