There’s more high-stakes family drama in one episode of Succession than an entire season of Game of Thrones, and, best of all, there’s no incest (yet). While not explicitly about Fox News and the Murdochs, there are some clear references to the modern-day dynasties and conglomerates that are running the world. The HBO series about a powerful American media family begins its second season in August.If you want another show about complicated family dynasties and the line of succession: Succession There are good moments in its final four seasons, but on the whole the writing trended downward until the much-maligned finale. Its fourth season, featuring John Lithgow as “the Trinity Killer,” was scintillating television-a high-point for the Showtime drama. Dexter was an entertaining, original character study in its first few seasons as it probed the mind of a serial killer whose moral compass only allowed him to kill other killers.
If you want another show that started off fascinating, enjoyed an excellent middle season, and then went sharply downhill: Dexter Surely I am not the first person to tell you to watch The Wire, the king of all “you need to watch this, dude” shows, but Game of Thrones ending gives you the perfect opportunity to check it off your list if you haven’t already.If you want another intricate character saga with many interweaving plot lines and a hint of political intrigue: The Wire You can watch all of Lost on Hulu, and Battlestar Galactica on Amazon Prime Video. In fact, I think we all owe it an apology. Lost is great, and its ending is not nearly as bad as you’ve heard.Shows you can watch today If you want another deeply immersive TV experience with its own vast mythology-and a divisive ending: Lost, Battlestar Galactica Or maybe you watched just to see a shirtless Jason Momoa…there’s apparently going to be a show for that as well. For the big, bloody, expensive-looking battle scenes? There’s a show for that, too. Since Thrones had so many influences, there are a number of shows that may even remind you of the HBO fantasy series.ĭid you watch Game of Thrones for the political backstabbing? We’ve got a show for that. Game of Thrones is almost over, and it’s never coming back.īut don’t panic! Plenty of great television series-and some enticing options still to come-can help fill the Westeros-sized hole in your heart.
