Madam Secretary. The first show of the first season is a little slow because it lays some groundwork and introduces characters....it ramps up after that.

I agree that Better Call Saul was difficult to watch after I had seen Breaking Bad. I never made it more than a few episodes into BCS.
As for what I watch, I tend to watch entirely too much Netflix.
My favorites, in no particular order:
Mindhunter
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Black Mirror
Dark
The Umbrella Academy
Black Spot
Russian Doll

Lightly seared on the reality grill.
Deadwood is excellent - it actually had three seasons, and now there's a movie to round it off.

My favorite Marvel series on TV....actually, the only Marvel TV seriesHad no idea Marvel had so many series going, but nice to know they're coming out with some good ones now: their first few attempts in the 70s and 80s were pretty awful ( have to admit I watched the Hulk anyway though)
While we're talking about it: a cpl years ago I started watching a decent Marvel series about a mutant who could alter reality. Then I forgot about it and haven't been able to find it because I can't remember the name.
Anybody know what the series was called?
I like is Legion. It's strange, engaging, hard to follow, visually fascinating,
musically interesting, & with wonderfully played characters.
Other series to find & watch....
Deadwood, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Rubicon, Luck, Downton
Abbey, Boardwalk Empire, Fargo, Samurai Jack, Chernobyl,
The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, The Terror, American Gods,
Air Disasters, Archer, Better Call Saul, Billions, Odd Mom Out,
Twin Peaks (not the later reboot), Counterpart, Escape At
Dannemora, Homeland, Manhattan, McMafia, The Americans,
The Bletchley Circle, The X-Files, & of course....Game Of Thrones.
And for anyone familiar with those violent 1960s & 70s Saturday
sci fi morning cartoons, The Venture Brothers is fantastic.

Samurai gourmet is a nice change of style if you are looking for some diversity, and it's sure to take you heart
Story is about an old japanese policeman that doesn't know what to do on his first days of retirement from the job. So he goes to the local restaurant for a break and goes in an adorable adventure of rediscovering life and reflecting on it through the food he forgot about while his life was so busy.
Really adorable and interesting short serie !

If anyone is into the whole zombie apocalypse thing, Netflix has a few good series to watch. Two in particular:
Kingdom. Really well done with lots of intense action. Fast zombies in medieval feudal Korea plus political intrigue (a fight over the throne). I can't wait for more.
All Of Us Are Dead. Fast zombies destroy modern-day S. Korea. Just watch it. The teens in particular made great zombies.
There are a few more zombie offerings but these stand out for being a change of pace from the usual fare and for not being set in the US. Especially Kingdom, bonus points for being set in a vastly different century.

More binge-worthy Amazon offerings:
The Boys: demented superheroes. What superheroes would probably really be like if there were superheroes.
Suits: the goings on of a high powered law firm. Interesting characters and intelligent plotlines, although the human interaction is a little on the sickly-sweet side (especially for lawyers).
Monk: a neurotic, obsessive compulsive modern day Sherlock Holmes.
Ninja Scroll: feudal Asian fantasy (I don't usually like anime but I liked this).

I was coming in to mention Peaky Blinders. Finally got around to watching Season 6 now.
Ozark
Narcos
Black Sails
I enjoyed Snowpiercer, although I preferred the original movie
I liked Last Kingdom, especially early
Stick with Better Call Saul. It’s great. Some even think it surpasses Breaking Bad (though I’m not one of them, I confess it’s a close call).
If you liked Breaking Bad, I’d put Peaky Blinders at the top of the list.

It did get me reading the books, and wow they cut out tons and tons more of the book for the show. But the biggest change is Uhtred himself. I'm having a hard time keeping it in my head the book Uhtred looks like a massive, burly, intimidating Dane with blond hair who isn't so attractive that even his scars are attractive.
anna.
but mostly it's the same
