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.

    The good place just finished so you could binge the whole thing without having to wait. It's a comedy though so you might not like it as it's nothing like the other shows you listed.

    Check out Lost if you didn't watch it back in the day. One of the best TV series I have ever watched!

    • funnysht on 03/02/2020 - 18:21

      saw a few episodes and know the plot twist…

      • pegaxs on 03/02/2020 - 20:03
        +7

        I loved Lost when it first came out… but nearing the end, it was easy to see the writers and directors just lived up to the shows name and it all got lost. After a while, it had no direction and the writers had no idea what they were going to do with it.

        I stopped watching it for a few years and never saw the end until recently… What a waste of (fropanity) time that was… I just knew it was going to end in a hot mess of WTF was all that garbage. It didnt leave me guessing, it just didn't make any sense…

      • crentist on 03/02/2020 - 21:24

        What plot twist? The entire show is plot twists

        • AbsX on 04/02/2020 - 11:48

          an episode without a plot twist, is the real plot twist

  • Bargain80 on 03/02/2020 - 17:46

    Forget Walking Dead. It gets boring after fourth season.
    If you like zombie movie, I'd recommend "Kingdom" on netflix.

    You need to watch GOT second season before deciding you like it or not.
    But as you probably know, the final of GOT sucks.

    If you play The Witcher game, you should watch the series as well.

    Few other series that I like are Altered Carbon, The Magician, The Expanse, etc.

    • countingbeans on 04/02/2020 - 07:56

      +1 for Kingdom!! Although wait until season 2 comes out cos s1 ended on a cliffhanger and didn't resolve anything.

    • Chewie on 04/02/2020 - 08:06

      +1 for The Expanse but not Season 4

      Oh, almost forget about The Dark.
      it's German Tv Show on Netflix about time travelling.
      It's very good.

      • Killerbala on 04/02/2020 - 12:32

        Must watch for those who love connecting dots …Good one

      • lette on 04/02/2020 - 23:53

        I second The Dark. Just finished binging it from start to finish with minimal naps mainly because it makes you think so damn much you can't think about much else until it's done. They're making a third season although I thought it wrapped up perfectly at the end of 2 so not that enthused about 3. Either way, worth the ride and the questions it make should think about are really mind bending.

      +1 for Altered Carbon. New season coming at the end of the month!

    Stop watching "The Walking Dead" immediately. I think they're up to season 10 at the moment and it not a series you should dedicate that much time to.

      First three seasons are great! I have never hated a character as much as Jonathan Randall for being a complete (profanity). Not even as much as Joffrey Baratheon.

    Don't do the Walking Dead without speeding it up. I actually watch a lot of tv shows at 1.5x speed or whatever as they are just so slow. TWD is probably the worst of them all.

    A few recommendations:

    • Chernobyl - good short series
    • Barry - dark comedy
    • The Boys - different spin on superheroes
    • The Mandalorian - Better than the recent Star Wars movies
    • Better Call Saul
    • Silicon Valley - A software engineer tries to build his own software company in Silicon Valley
    • DarthAntz on 03/02/2020 - 18:22

      Thank god for speeding up tv shows. Same with podcasts.

    Ozark - probably the best show if you like breaking bad - similar premise but instead of a teacher you have an accountant and its a little darker

    60 days in - reality show sends people undercover into prisons

    • ozbs25 on 03/02/2020 - 18:20

      Yes, I knew I forgot something. Ozark is very very good. Next season shouldn't be too far away.

      • tomlikesbeetroot on 04/02/2020 - 20:06

        Agree, I couldn't watch season 2 after the first episode.
        The good thing is you can skip straight from season 1 to 3 without missing anything.

      • Skinnerr on 06/02/2020 - 10:59

        Awful is harsh. I rewatched it and it gets that treatment when compared to 1 & 3. 2 has great acting and character development, just not the best story. Far from awful tho.

  • DarthAntz on 03/02/2020 - 18:21

    Baki, Kimetsu no Yaiba, One punch man, and Kengan Ashura (if you enjoyed Baki).

  • dogboy on 03/02/2020 - 18:23

    Just awesomesauce:

      Dunno about the boys but Witcher definitely gets my vote.

      My suggestions:
      - Witcher
      - The Expanse
      - Penny Dreadful (except for last few episodes)
      - People of Earth
      - Dirilis: Ertugrul

      Witcher

      Once I grasped that there were three main timelines, separated by decades… it became much easier to follow.

      And now… I am onto book 3 of the series, and it is even clearer. And surprisingly, quite a few of the scenes from the show are pretty good representations of the books.

      • HighAndDry on 07/02/2020 - 14:53

        Yeah, you really had to follow the dialogue about seemingly peripheral events to work that out, which was both cool and annoying, like - they're talking about this country just having a new King, to oh they're talking about the king being overthrown, and oh now the heir has been reinstated.

    Try The Umbrella Academy, Peaky Blinders, The Witcher (though be alert the first season jumps around in time a fair bit and is basically a setup for the other seasons)worth watching though, The Expanse, Altered Carbon (is more along the lines of the other shows you mentioned)American Gods, What We Do in the Shadows was a great move to TV and well executed.

    That's all I can think of for now.

  • OverburdenedWarrior on 03/02/2020 - 18:57

    A few I can think of in no particular order:

    Queen of the South
    Into the Dark
    Animal Kingdom
    Shameless US
    Entourage
    American Horror Story
    The Driver (Short miniseries starring The Governer from TWD)
