"Better Call Saul especially was Breaking Bad on steroids - a better collection of writing,
producing and acting will never come together on a TV series again IMO.
Similar opinion on Justified - but no, I don't like the brand new one that's out now.

Miscellaneous - we also quite enjoy:
1. The Grand Tour
2. Top Gear (with the correct three hosts)
3. Clarkson's Farm
4. Fargo - any season of it
5. Yellowstone
6. Boardwalk Empire (monumental series!)
7. Whose Line is it Anyways?"

I wanted to like Better Call Saul since I enjoyed Breaking Bad so damned much. To me, BCS just moved too slow. For the patient person, I can see that might not pose a problem.
I've never heard of The Grand Tour or Clarkson's Farm.
I did enjoy the British Top Gear.
Never watched Fargo or Boardwalk Empire but Mary and I are always looking for the next show to binge watch. I'll put those on the list, thanks.

BCS actually winds up with more going on as it went than BB, especially the last few seasons.
The writing on that show - mercy. Never seen better, ever. Demands you keep up or it loses you...

The Grand Tour is where Clarkson, May and Hammond went after Top Gear. As opposed to answering to the BBC,
the show is actually owned by them (and producer Andy Wilmon, the mad genius behind the original Top Gear).
Clarkson's Farm is Jeremy Clarkson (who, as you might imagine, is extremely wealthy) and his exploits at trying
to operate a farm in the British countryside. It's quite entertaining.
Both of these shows are on Amazon Prime, by the way.

Fargo (4 seasons, 51 episodes so far) has a different storyline and stars each season - and if you're familiar with
the great original movie (Coen Brothers), then it will be right up your alley. An FX show originally.
Superior production. Well worth the time.

Boardwalk Empire (50+ episodes). Steve Buschemi, et al. HBO production that won about every award a TV series
can. Again, intelligently written, never insults the intelligence. Atlantic City during the Depression, with all the corruption
and bootlegging and such.

Holy cow, how could I forget this one?

Titus is still one of the greats

Watched them all....

Don't see Circus Boy on your list. Saturday morning "must See" along with Rin Tin Tin. Mickey Dolenz was Circus Boy, resurfaced several years later as one of the " Monkey" boys.

X2 here. But due to my liking Breaking Bad so much, I feel a sense of obligation to finish it. Taking me some time to do that for sure. @moparedtn ‘s $.02 on it definitely will help me to finish it now. About 3 seasons in last I recall.
