    Person of interest is fairly good. It'll take about 4 episodes to get over the fact that the lead guy is the guy who played Jesus in that Mel Gibson film.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1839578/?ref_=nv_sr_1

    Forever is a new series only 10-11 episodes old but i'm loving it.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3487382/?ref_=nv_sr_1

    Chicago fire and chicago pd are Dick Wolf productions( he of Law and order Fame)
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2261391/?ref_=nv_sr_2
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2805096/?ref_=tt_rec_tt
    If you do decide to watch them watch the first 2 seasons of fire before starting on PD.

    House MD. Stick with it until Season 3, and you won't be disappointed. Hugh Laurie is just Ayyy-mazing in it.
    House of Cards on Netflix.
    Battlestar Galactica. The new one!

    I would seriously suggest sticking with Breaking Bad. I did find it a little hard into the second half of Season 1, and early Season 2, but it was worth it in the end. IMHO.

    lmao how do you watch all the boring drama in the walking dead but can't watch breaking bad. watch all of season 1 and 2, if you're not addicted to it by then like basically every person who's ever watched it, then it'd be alright to give it up


    I'll list all the best shows I've seen, you can check and see that they're all quality shows, but breaking bad is joint first place with the wire so it's obviously done something right.

    Aside from the first two, they're not really in order of favourites

    Breaking bad
    The wire
    Game of thrones
    True detective
    Boardwalk empire
    The sopranos
    Gomorrah
    Spartacus
    Hannibal
    Prison break
    Entourage
    It's always sunny in Philadelphia
    The office US
    The newsroom

    Do yourself a favour and watch the first series, it is a little slow but you will get into it and you will never look at Bryan Cranston the same way again :cool:

    Watch Malcolm in the Middle again afterwards and wonder how the poor lad survived with a druglord megalomaniac dad.

    Haha I thought similar but once you've seen Bryan Cranston acting in that show the memories of hal from maclolm in the middle will be replaced by Walter white the absolute badass. The transformation and story arc he experiences through the five seasons is absolutely amazing. It'll put the walking dead to shame, just work through the more slow episodes in season 1 and from season 2 onwards it's just total escalation


    I still think back and laugh at moments like the speed walking episode in Malcolm in the middle and crack up though

    Are you serious.. The Shield was so cheesily laughable. :P I'll agree with you about The Wire.

    And people found it hard to get in to Breaking Bad? .. It's not the best show but..

    Based on what the OP says, I doubt he'd get in to Boardwalk, Sopranos, Game of Thrones...

    Maybe you'd like Son's of Anarchy.

    If I was to advise anything though.. pretty much anything on HBO.

    EDIT: My apologies.. I see the OP has made some picks. Good luck.. The Wire is harder for people to get in to but the reward is high.

    I watched 2 seasons of Breaking Bad before I gave up on it.

    Just finished season one of Elementary. It's alright.

    Season two is a bit better IMO, I've been watching The West Wing and love it.
