They're all part of the same sphere - The Sopranos, Mad Men, Breaking Bad.

The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are good shows of course, but let's not pretend that sitting down in front of a TV screen to consume media which is referenced in Family Guy is something which distinguishes its viewers from "the normies".

it's just a retread of 80s satanic panic shit. there was nothing cutting edge about it, it could have easily been an episode of millennium or something (remember that one, with lance henrkisen? very similar tone). you're obviously just championing it because it reinforces your preexisting beliefs in bill gates secretly raping toddlers during a black mass or whatever, not because of its value as "art".
