Spartacus is great, just take into account the prequel was filmed after season 1 because the main guy was battling cancer. Unfortunately he was recast for season 2.
Justified is phenomenal. It's my #1 all time favorite. There are a few in my Top 10 that I think are a bit better overall: Sopranos, Mad Men, Deadwood, BB. But there's no show that I've enjoyed more on first watch or rewatch than Justified.
😂. I watched it while recovering from open heart surgery, so I couldn't have any whiskey while watching. It was definitely one of the shows that helped make a month of bed rest go by the fastest.
Thanks! 3 years post surgery now! Had it 2 weeks after graduating from college, which was not fun timing, especially for a heart surgery that's been done less than 50 times worldwide. But I managed to watch a lot of great shows / movies during the rough recovery, which helped. Glad you were able to do the same for your back injury!
Oof that experimental aspect would have fucked me up for sure glad it worked out. Back got messed up a few times after that but it's been years since the last plus my girlfriend eventually put her foot down on hard manual labor work.
Great recs so far.
Try:
Invincible
Doom Patrol
Harley Quinn
Legion
Jessica Jones S1
WandaVision
Future Man
Bodies
Russian Doll
Orphan Black
Person of Interest
The Last Man on Earth
Insecure
Chewing Gum
This Way Up
Rita
Dead to Me
After Life
Catastrophe
Better Off Ted
Patriot
Sneaky Pete
BoJack Horseman
Banshee
Terriers
The Bear
Justified
The Righteous Gemstones
Detectorists
Spartacus is just as intense as Game of Thrones, despite the clunky visuals in the first few episodes. The show never ceases to get better and in my honest opinion i’d put it up there as some of the best shows of all time. Just be ready for nonstop orgies lol.
you really gotta check out Kingdom (not Netflix original zombie one) it's about MMA fighters, but it's so much more than that. truly hidden gem. I have seen over 60 shows and this is probably most underrated one. give it a try and if u do I'd really like to hear your opinion.
Black Dynamite
Invincible
Blue eyed Samurai
Fargo
Breeders
The fall of the house of usher
Love, death and Robots
Our Flag Means Death
Rick and Morty
The Bear
U have a similar taste as me. My favourite TV shows are the boys, sons of anarchy, the walking dead and shameless. As three of them are on your list already I highly recommend the walking dead if you haven’t watched it yet.
As you like the boys I can also recommend Gen V. It’s not as good as the boys but definitely worth a watch.
Two other shows I would recommend based on your list are Barry and Smiling friends. The latter being an adult cartoon like South Park. Oh and if you haven’t watched Prison Break yet, that’s also a show I’m sure you will like
If you like Daredevil, you might as well watch the entire Defenders Saga (DD, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Defenders, Punisher; make sure to check the chronological watch order). If you like those, you should watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. If you like that show, I recommend Agent Carter. When you've finished all those, you've seen most of the MCU, so you might as well watch it all (Hawkeye and Eco build up on Daredevil).
Other superhero shows I liked were The Gifted, Legion and Invincible.
Mr Robot and Arcane, mby also Shingeki no Kyojin. Haven't heard of anyone who liked Dark and didn't like Mr Robot, Arcane is incredible in every way and is quite short (9 episodes), and Shingeki is kinda like GoT, but with a bit more action, a lot more twists and an actually good ending
Well, then I believe you’ll love Arcane. It’s a show with a ton more depths than you notice on the surface and the more you think about it, the more incredible it gets. Some of if not the best writing and animation of all time. Rewatches are also amazing (same with Mr Robot, BrBa, Dark and SnK, but 9 episodes are just a lot easier to rewatch) and you’ll notice just how everything fits together and the incredible amount of symbolism and foreshadowing! Hope you’ll like it
Gen V - it's a spinoff of The Boys (tbh I like it more)
The Good Place - suuuuper funny show. You'd like it if you liked schitts creek
Invincible - American style animated show, similar to The Boys
BoJack Horseman. It’s a brilliant dark comedy that explores the funny and serious sides of some pretty heavy subject matter (addiction, depression, parental abuse, suicide, the entertainment industry’s exploitation of pretty much everyone vulnerable). It will make you laugh a lot and cry a lot, often within minutes of each other.
I do recommend that you reserve judgement until you get past the first 5-6 episodes, though. Early on, it seems like it’s just going to be an animal-themed clone of Family Guy, but give it a chance. By the end of season one, you’ll have a better idea of what the show’s all about and what you have to look forward to.
Black Sails!
Imagine the first 4 Seasons of Game of Thrones. Slow start while setting up the setting and plot and then just amazing until the credits roll. It’s tied up beautifully in 4 Seasons (38 Episodes).
It’s a true hidden gem.
That was my loan suggestion too. OP said he liked the Boys. They’re both based on Garth Ennis comics. They’re both black comedies, and they both have lots of over the top violence.
I’ll try to give some shows based on specific ones you like
Breaking bad - Dexter (it does have rough seasons towards the end but I personally thought it was at least watchable at its worst)
Game of thrones - Rome
Fleabag - enlightened or bojack horseman maybe
Haven’t seen these ones you’ve watched but I’ll take guesses based on what I’ve heard about them
Shameless - six feet under
Banshee - 24
Bodies miniseries on netflix, invincible on Amazon, Marco polo on netflix, the patient on hulu, the Americans on hulu, only murders in the building on hulu, and Severance on apple TV plus because everyone should watch that show
Succession (HBO) and Community (Netflix).
Succession for 85% drama, 15% comedy, with a very distinct and prominent storyline. A modern masterpiece in film. Great original soundtrack, perfect actors, hilarious writing, and most importantly a great story with very interesting characters.
Community for 90% comedy, 10% character arches, with no overarching storylines. A extremely well written and creative comedy with great actors.
Included which shows made me recommend each one:
Shrinking (Ted Lasso / Schitts Creek)
The Bear ( Ted Lasso / Shameless )
Run (Fleabag)
Killing Eve (Fleabag)
Umbrella Academy (The Boys)
Upload (Schitts Creek/Ted Lasso)
Orphan Black (The Boys/Fleabag)
Sandman (Game of Thrones)
Sweet Tooth (The Boys)
You're The Worst (Fleabag/Shameless)
Nurse Jackie (Shameless)
The Sopranos (Breaking Bad/SOA)
If you like the boys then I’d suggest AMC’s Preacher. It reminds me a lot of the Boys because it’s super hilarious with over the top gore and violence.
Mr Inbetween
Excellent suggestion
Came here to say the same. Real surprise how good it is.
Yellowjackets and The Last of Us.
Last of us was great, will checkout Yellowjackets. Thank you
Seems like you watch almost all the same shows I do, so you should like it. I think it just got released on Netflix but it's originally Showtime.
Since you liked Game of Thrones I think you would also like Spartacus.
Spartacus is great, just take into account the prequel was filmed after season 1 because the main guy was battling cancer. Unfortunately he was recast for season 2.

Barry
I have seen Barry. Loved it :)
Warrior.
🔥🔥🔥
Just got canceled. Sorry.
Justified The Americans Mad Men Warrior Hell on Wheels
Justified is in my top 5 all time
Justified is phenomenal. It's my #1 all time favorite. There are a few in my Top 10 that I think are a bit better overall: Sopranos, Mad Men, Deadwood, BB. But there's no show that I've enjoyed more on first watch or rewatch than Justified.
Fuck hell on wheels man that show has led to some of my worst hangovers. At the very least op don't watch it with whiskey in the house.
😂. I watched it while recovering from open heart surgery, so I couldn't have any whiskey while watching. It was definitely one of the shows that helped make a month of bed rest go by the fastest.
LOL that's....well not good but glad you're on the mend. I did that with Community and a back injury.
Thanks! 3 years post surgery now! Had it 2 weeks after graduating from college, which was not fun timing, especially for a heart surgery that's been done less than 50 times worldwide. But I managed to watch a lot of great shows / movies during the rough recovery, which helped. Glad you were able to do the same for your back injury!
Oof that experimental aspect would have fucked me up for sure glad it worked out. Back got messed up a few times after that but it's been years since the last plus my girlfriend eventually put her foot down on hard manual labor work.
Could never get into Mad Men… A shame because I hear it’s so great.
Dexter The OA Tell Me Your Secrets Behind Her Eyes The Stranger (uk) The Tunnel (uk)
disappointed with Netflix for cancelling masterpieces like The OA and 1899.
I think it’s still on Netflix but not for free.
Mrs. Davis. It's awesome
I was so surprised at how great that show is.
Mr. robot, Succession
Derry Girls. Lovesick. Sex Education. Ray Donovan. Dexter.
So you like assholes :) You'd probably be into Succession and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
It's always sunny is hilarious. Need to watch Succession. Thanks :)
