The Blacklist is currently my fix for Breaking Bad style cliffhangers. Even though I don't like that kind of crime solving stuff it's really thrilling and the overarching story is more interesting than what I've seen from similar shows like Fringe. I also never got into Dexter, haven't been into the CSI/NCIS stuff but loved Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, just so you know my taste :)

Haven't heard of that either. Funnily enough, your second sentence directly adressed my dislike for crime solving stuff and the last setence could be completely 1:1 from me :D

So going ahead and saving it for the future!

Good thing I gave a proper reply and didn't just suggest the German version of "Let's make a Deal" based on your username. Because if you open the wrong door you get a Zonk, that looks like this:

Also, I just watched the first season of Ray Donovan. It's also on Netflix (I suppose you watch the other shows there). It's not extremly well made unfortunately. The lines are cheap and cheesy at times and I never knew I'd dislike the Boston accent so much. But I grew attached to the characters and it's pretty entertaining. It's kinda like a cheap Breaking Bad with violence instead of drugs.

Now what should I watch next?

No direct recommendation for you except the ones I mentioned in the OP, but I'm actually German and my name comes from the show :P
