Star Trek Deep Space Nine and season 1-6 and a few scenes in season 7 and 8 Game of Thrones. I don't watch TV shows much but if I do I need to watch the best and not waste my time on trash.

I can't personally attest to it, but I've heard good things about The Shield.

Ditto for Better Call Saul.

Of the shows meantioned I cosign:
BCS and Justified. Justified is a little bit "lighter" but it's the most damn fun show of all time, while also being well written AF.

The Americans was relatively good for what it was, but i found it moderately dry. But if dryness wasn't a turn off for you on Mad Men then you shouldn't mind it, because it's more lively than Mad Men.

Mr Robot is too weird/full of itself IMO, but some people like it I guess maybe.

never heard of Snowfall

Oh and "The Shield" is like "Sons of Anarchy" where it feels like big and profound but idk if there's anything actually there.

In summary: If you like BB more than Mad Men watch BCS and Justified. If you like Mad Men more, watch "The Americans"

Outside of the Sopranos there arent too many shows even close to being on the level of this shows.

I found better call Saul very slow.

Handmades Tale is pretty good.

Bojack Horseman seems like a dumb animated comedy but is actually an amazing show. Different vibe than those others though.

If you were a diehard Breaking Bad fan, you probably won't like the majority of Better Call Saul, since it does legitimately focus on a completely separate storyline most of the time even though it's clearly a precursor to Breaking Bad. It's just a different animal.

Eh... I love both. Theyre completely different beasts, youre right about that, but theyre each excellent at what they choose to focus on (Breaking Bad is a crime drama/dark comedy/thriller while BCS is more of a character drama that necessarily has crime elements).

I can honestly say I like BCS more. Its not as exciting episode-to-episode but the characters feel more complete and it does a better job of playing with expectations in a realistic way.

Yeah but it's a very racist show. Very offensive to black people. Black people and people with modern sensibilities would prefer the wire as it is more inclusive.

You can't make a show like the Soprano's these day's. It was okay for the olden days. Maybe if they remake it for netflix with a more diverse cast?

I forgot to mention that show. Also people recommend sons of anarchy but I heard it starts out amazing then gets worse after each season. Is this true? Should still be good to watch though?

First 2-3 reasons are pretty good. Then after 3 it starts going downhill. Then after 5 it starts to really go downhill. Then 7 happened, and it was awful.
