So my favourite tv shows prisonbreak, stranger things, dexter and breaking bad finished

I watched game of thrones first season didnt like it much and now in the middle of the walking deead.

The first 3 seasons were on parr with breaking bad and prisonbreak, but season 4 is just dragged out, they bring back old characters like the governor and some scenes are completely pointless. Like the first episode in season 4 with the irish woman who yaps on ..what was the whole point of that scene, already saw people keeping walkers as they were family members, seems like they're just reusing the old plot lines.

They could have made new plot lines, but just plain old killing more walkers, ppl walking etc. some new plot lines like underground tunnels, level 1 or 2 walkers, stronger more fearsome walkers. I get the whole point of the other humans as being worse than walkers is fine, but that's what was shown in season 3?

I think i'll continue with this show but any other suggestions?

edit
THANKS FOR everyone's suggestions!
Persisted through season 4 of TWD and mid way of season 5…but incredibly mind numbing boring…like i wold rate it at 2/10. So boring that i just skip some scenes. Seriously couldn't the writeers think of something else than just break into a house, steal, walkers then a main character goes, people mourn, then repeat FFS.

    I'd also recommend Bron/Broen (The bridge). The original Nordic version. It's amazing.

    My "Must Watch", in no particular order…

    Thriller/detective/drama/SciFi;

    The Killing
    The Outsiders (Stephen King story adaption)
    True Detective (Season 1 at least)
    Altered Carbon (Bladerunner'esque)
    Mind Hunter
    Black Mirror (Deals with dystopian realities)
    Seven Seconds
    Real Detective (This isn't the McConaughey/Harrelson one.)
    The Boys (When good guys go bad…)
    Watchmen
    The Mandalorian (aka: The Baby Yoda Show.)
    Chernobyl (Hard to tell if its a doco or ??)

    Comedy;

    Letterkenny (Do yourself a favour. Watch this gem.)
    Brooklyn 99 (sitcom humour)
    Rake (Very Aussie humour)
    AP.Bio
    Bob's Burgers (Bob is such a dunce…)
    Archer (Archer is such a dunce…)
    Year of the Rabbit
    I.T Crowd

    I know there is more, but this is all I can think of…

    All I can say is that HBO are hitting the whole TV series thing out of the park at the moment…

      • pegaxs on 05/02/2020 - 08:03

        Didn’t like Toast of London or IT Crowd? Personally, I didn’t like The Mighty Boosh. I don’t find Noel Fielding particularly funny.

        Tell you what I didn’t like that Matt Berry did, and that was Disenchantment. He sounded like he phoned in his voice acting part. It was terrible and hard to listen to.

    The Wire and The Sopranos are both woefully undermentioned. They are absolute top tier. Plenty of other good shows suggested, but these two should take precedence over almost everything else.
    Mad Men is also up there, if it's on your radar OP just get into it.

      I too will recommend Mr Robot (I am currently up to the start of Season 4).

      Netflix's Daredevil (all seasons) is one of the best super hero small screen shows (which I would combine with "The Defenders" and "Iron Fist" season 1, since they also feature The Hand). Also of interest is Philip K. Dick's Man in a High Castle (4 seasons, now complete).

    • unelectric on 05/02/2020 - 01:04

      Remove about 5 shows from that list and we might as well be twins. Freaky.

    • 4foxache on 05/02/2020 - 23:37

      I'd add:
      - Jack Ryan

      • tarb on 05/02/2020 - 20:53

        I think season 8 was the last of the traditional seasons, then s9 was the reboot in the med school that only got 1 season before being cancelled. I found traditional scrubs great until the end

    • AbsX on 04/02/2020 - 11:50

      watching the expanse now. Love this for a sci-fi genre. But you need to be in a 'focused' mood to follow the plot. Its not something you can watch in the background or you will get lost real fast

      • Soothsayer on 04/02/2020 - 12:40

        I mean I wouldn't think any shows in this thread that aren't comedies can be watched in the background… good TV deserves your attention just like a movie.

        Except The Walking Dead. That show is best watched in the background.

        • AbsX on 04/02/2020 - 19:15

          Haha agreed,

          Can tune out in season 7, come back in season 9 and I barely missed a thing plot wise.

    Probably a totally different genre than what OP watches but here is my list:

    1. Mad Men (It helps that Jon Hamm is sooo good looking.. Lol.. )

    2. Modern Family

    3. Desperate Housewives

    4. Greys Anatomy (but after Christina Yang left and with no McDreamy, I pretty much lost interest)

    5. Two and a Half Men (till Ashton Kutcher came in and ruined it 😬)…

    6. Better Call Saul

    7. Breaking Bad

    8. F.R.I.E.N.D.S

    9. Big Bang Theory

    Sons of Anarchy & Mayans MC
    The Handmaids Tale
    The Mandalorian
    The Good Place
    True Detective S1. 2 & 3 were nowhere as good, 2 being the worst & are standalone so don't need to watch them.

    Need to watch The Witcher.

    I tried to watch Watchmen but if you've read the comic it's really bad.

      First season the production level is a bit rough due to being a small BBC production but since Netflix picked it up it's been fantastic.

    Mentioned once previously, but Money Heist (aka La Casa de Papel) is one of the best series I've watched since Breaking Bad.
    It's in spansish but they've dubbed it in English. Once you get used to that it's VERY much worth it.

  • pformag on 04/02/2020 - 18:53

    Bosch.

    LA Detective story based on popular books.

  • MagicOZ on 04/02/2020 - 20:38

    If you have seen Breaking Bad then what about Better Call Saul. The new season of the BCS is going to be amazing from what we have seen in the trailers.
    If you have subscription I suggest The Mandalorian, because is fresh story in the Star Wars universe, is not that bad, but is very Disney style.
    Another show that left me impressed was True Detective, very strong first season, almost unreal felling.
    I started watching Picard, but I suggest you watch Star Trek the Next Generation first, because is all time best pop culture space adventure show.
    If you going to the sci-fi and I suggest taking a look of the first Twilight Zone from the 50-60's, many modern shows like "The good place" were inspired from episodes from it. I think is all time best show if I had list of show that must be watched.

    About anime:
    Rick and Morty is must, even that have weak season 4. Pop culture with a lot of drama encoded in it.
    Out of air by all time best if you ask me : Futurama.
    Cyanide and Happiness show -what a f up show also damn hilarious.
    Mr. Pickles is also good in the f up genre.

    Youtube have a lot of funny things to watch, my receipt discovery was "Staying positive in the apocalypse"

    If you've watched Breaking Bad make sure you watch El Camino (movie on Netflix) to tie up a few loose ends for Jesse's storyline.

    In order, 1. Better Call Saul 2. Westworld 3. Silicon Valley 4. Mandalorian. If none of these shows hook you in the first episode, don't bother continuing. People love Parks and Rec, and I persisted, but I still didn't like it after that.

      Steven, it's Clem Fandango can you hear me? Toast is great but it's not for everyone.

    The man in high castle is probably the only show on a streaming service today rivals HBO quality.

      The story starts getting weird once it deviates from the book.
