Agreed, however I don't think its overrated. Few things come to mind with this show.
- BCS far exceeded my expectations which is why I think most of us give it so much praise.
- BCS also rode the coattails of BB. Half the cast came from BB and already had developed characters and a head start on the storyline. Doesn't take away from how good BCS is - but if this was a brand new show and BB didn't exist, it wouldn't have been nearly as successful/popular.
- I do find it hard to compare. I agree with you saying BCS is more like a dark comedy. Jimmy's character is a goofball most the time so its hard to take this show nearly as serious as BB. it really dumbs down the "drama" part of the show as opposed to BB where most of each episode is tense and edge of your seat drama.
Either way, the fact that BCS and BB are in the same sentence together is enough to prove that BCS is a legitimately top tier show and deserves as much respect as BB.
