Any shows that I'm missing? - eviltoast

Me and my SO find ourselves more often than not just browsing through what’s available on various services but not feeling like we find anything we want to watch. I don’t think it’s necessary to list what we’ve watched because almost all of the big things we have already watched. So I’m looking for some diamonds in the rough that might have gone under the radar. The type of shows that we typically enjoy is stuff like, Dark, the Leftovers and Succession.

    tons of people have seen breaking bad, but most people didn’t end up watching better call saul, which imo is just as good

      Personally, I feel Better Call Saul is better.

      I wasn’t going to watch it because I kind of hated Breaking Bad by the end because everyone I liked was gone. I turned BCS on randomly one day, gave it a couple episodes and realized I liked it.

      BCS basically continued off where BB left off in style, writing, and ideas, and just continues on. There is just more likable characters through the show too.

        Oh me too, but I give a way more conservative ranking to people who haven’t seen it. Realistically, it’s like the breaking bad creators just kept getting better and better

        I think Better Call Saul started off better than Breaking Bad, since the change to the more law focused conflict felt so refreshing over cartels. I think two season were absolute peak. I loved the law office drama.

        But, later seasons started leaning more heavy on the cartels and trying to add suspense to what we knew already happened didn’t hit the same way as the early seasons. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the ending either with it feeling like it kind of dropped the morally gray aspect of certain characters, and kind of entered cheesy territory.
