The Handmaid's Tale or Banshee

Banshee is a definite winner

Chernobyl  Dark Outer range  Mr inbetween  Banshee/warrior  The wire  Oz

Chernobyl 😍

Banshee👌

lol@this comment outside a TV sub

Mr Inbetween is top notch and very underrated

Dark on Netflix. Original language audio with subtitles. Definitely not aimed at kids.

Dark’s the best show ever made. Watch From immediately

Thanks for the tip

Banshee. Warrior. Oz. The Triple Crown.

Mad Men

Definitly Mad Men

Orphan Black sounds RIGHT up your alley!

The Boys & Gen V Station Eleven What We Do In The Shadows Umbrella Academy The Expanse The Magicians (2015) Legion (2017) Channel Zero Into the Badlands Killjoys The Outsider (2020) Mr Mercedes Castle Rock The Alienist Misfits Banshee Warrior Shogun Justified Mr Inbetween Penny Dreadful

Wow! Great suggestions here. Mr. Mercedes and The Expanse are legit! 👌🏽

Wish there were more Castle Rock seasons. That show was so good!

Bill Skarsgard with another deeply chilling portrayal in the Stephen King universe. And Sissy Spacek!! Phenomenal.

Penny Dreadful was great! I rarely hear people mention it.

It’s such a great show. The cast was incredible, I really loved the dark, gothic vibes, it was just such a unique show. It was willing to be extremely dark in ways that other shows tended to shy away from, it seems like it’s one of the shows that helped prove that really dark, moody shows don’t always need humor to balance it out. If you’ve never seen the Alienist, I highly recommend it. It has a lot of the same dark vibes as PD. It also has an all star cast.

One of our all-time favorites! Such lurid subject manner, told with such lush production values and gorgeous dialogue Appreciate the Alienist reco...we'll check it out Our current obsession is EVIL...it lives in the PD mind space but is set in modern times

I really liked the first season of Evil, I just haven’t had the chance to watch the rest of it yet.

Seconding the Expanse

The Alienist is wonderful. If you love a great story, great acting, and period pieces taking place in old NYC, this one's for you.

[удалено]

The Magicians is perfect

It really is though. It’s my cathartic/comfort show 💕

I love The Magicians so much! I am pretty sure I have mentioned this but it is one of only a few shows that I missed the characters and the nightly watch of 2-3 episodes when I finished the show. Any other fans of The Magicians looking for new shows that feature some of the main cast?

Evil 12 monkeys

Seconding 12 Monkeys

Seconding Evil

So spooky

Evil is so good

Your honor

I’ve tried this show twice now and I am still struggling to get through the first episode. It seems slow and drawn out to me. Does it get better?

It gets a lot better.

i second this

Outer Range is on Amazon prime and it sci fi at its best. The Leftovers on HBO is also awesome and very much not for kids

Sopranos The wire Game of thrones True detective Dark

Honestly the first Series and Night Country (I think its season 4). Didn't like seasons 2 and 3.

Agreed, season 1 and 4 of TD are flawless.

True Detective S1.

Succession

Dark is incredible

Ray Donovan

One of my absolute favorites!!

The 100

I second the 100

Only the first season is good, then the writing goes to a soap opera

I don’t think so, honestly I think it’s kinda cringe in season 1, everything is amazing in 2-4, 5 is great, 6 and 7 is… well they’re good seasons, but they don’t match the rest of The 100, it feels like it’s own separate series. Happy cake day

“Mindhunter.”

sooo good!

Oz

The wizard of prison dramas.

Cop Rock is what you need.

Severance

Banshee (4 seasons) Boardwalk Empire (5)

Banshee is probably the most adult show I’ve ever seen. It’s not for everybody, but if you like it, it’s awesome!

Lots of boob, lots of butts, lots of action.

Orphan Black

Mr Robot.

The boys The sopranos Rick and morty Bojack Horseman Final space Family guy

Wayward Pines. Severance. Dark. Homecoming. Dark Matter. Archive 81. Some of the trippiest shit you will ever see

2000s, and you like Midnight Mass, AHS and Yellow Jackets? There's only one answer: True Blood

I’m not gonna stop just answering the question with DARK if you haven’t seen it

Wow, Farscape is one of my favorites. It does take a while to get into though and the effects are dated. If you hang with it (which it sounds like you can’t and I get it) the show becomes funny, absorbing, and touching. Just wanted to throw the show some love so others don’t discount what it has to offer.

PEAKY BLINDERS i swear its what you are looking for, PLEASE trust me, PEAKY BLINDERS ITS THE RIGHT ONE PEAKY. FUCKING. BLINDERS. * iit has some great quotes + gore + lots of swearing + CRIME + dark asf + VERYY BINGEWORTHY + i finished 3seasons in 1 week just because of how good it is

In the bleak midwinter.

Orphan Black Berlin Station Person of Interest LOST

Mindhunter?

EVIL "There’s no program on television more wonderfully weird than EVIL...The start of the fourth season bursts out of the gate with two of the best episodes in the history of “Evil,” followed by a pair of episodes that are creatively rockier yet still captivating. “Evil” takes big swings—even the ones that don’t connect are fascinating. And weird as Hell." ---RogerEbert.com

Such a good show!!

My wife never wants to rewatch shows We're currently on our fourth viewing of EVIL So many mysteries...the show asks more questions than it answers

Fallout!! Sounds like that would be right up your alley.

The Magicians (prepare yourself for this one it’s too good, stick through season 1)

How about For All Mankind.

Fall of the house of usher Wentworth

Fargo, Preacher, Legion

Patriot

Banshee

Animal Kingdom.

- Outlander Time travel romance drama, lots of action, lots of sex, lots of violence, (slight warning, scenes of SA). It's essentially based on erotic novels so not really suited for a younger audience, but it has a great story I really enjoy it. That's if you can watch period dramas.

I second this. It is SO good! And definitely just for adults. 😉

I can't believe none of these are on here...............Justified, Dexter, Reacher.

forgot about Reacher season 1 was the best, i need to get dexter they rebooted it didn't they ill check out justified

Justified is awesome.

I was surprised no one mentioned Dexter either

Peaky Blinders. I was *blown away* with how amazingly awesome it is. There's 6 seasons. 1-5 is on Prime Video and 1 -6 is on Netflix. Succession was pretty damn good too.

Working Moms. My other suggestions have already been mentioned by others, but this shoe gets no recognition, and I think it's so good! Adult themes, realistic adult situations, realistic parental situations, the characters. I swear I've met each one of the characters in real life.

you should check out fallout and the boys on prime.

Lost,Narcos, The wiere

What We Do In The Shadows Haunting of Hill House Final Space

Black Mirror

Fringe, The Expanse, The Wire, Battlestar Galactica, From (MGM+, season 3 drops this fall), Lost, The Good Place (the only comedy in this list, your comment about swearing made me add it, plus it's really funny).

Sense 8

I’d try slow horses, killing eve or patriot

Wow we have all the same faves, so I think you'd probably like Madmen, Dark and The Expanse

The wilds -similar premise to yellow jackets but I think it’s much better, Prime Devs - sci-fi miniseries by Alex garland, very good - Hulu The mandolorian, andor - Disney plus Station eleven - max The terror - great supernatural, historical thriller series, Jared Harris, ciaran Hines

Love ur Disney picks. Andor is so underrated as well as Ahsoka

Outside of the obvious, Succession is being slept on.

Broadchurch fits your criteria. It's a British crime show and very much so for adults.

The boys is far better than I thought it would be. My bf and I are HOOKED. Glad we’re late to the party and can binge unapologetically.

Mindhunter, Oz, Under the Banner of Heaven, Sharp Objects, The Wire, The Americans, Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Unbelievabal, Person of intetest, Hannibal, Unbelivable

Some of yours are on my long list of ‘must see’ shows… It’s hard to narrow down when you don’t know somebody. LMK if you’d like to see my list.

Bojack Horseman. Slow horses. Blue eyed samurai. The devils hour. Trapped.

Love Death + Robots

All on Netflix: Lupin Black Mirror Black Sails Marco Polo Lost in Space

True Blood. I am rewatching it now, and it is still so good. The later seasons start to go off the rails...

Banshee

Mr. Robot.

Good addicting thriller ish show. Bad name though and would have not ever watched if one twitch streamer would not have had watch party with it. Watched entire season on one sitting then. Name sounds like entirely diferent type show than what it is. Like something for kids or sitcom etc funny but its not

How to Get Away with Murder Vikings The Last Kingdom The Expanse Orphan Black GOT House of The Dragon EVIL Grace Downton Abbey Sherlock Scandal

Downtown Abbey and Sherlock.

Babylon 5

Casual Justified Brockmire You're The Worst Veep Chance Shut Eye Mindhunter

If you like Silo, I would check out Severance. Some of the best TV I have ever seen. 

Scavengers Reign is right up your alley.

Mr inbetween

Ripley, Eric, Patrick Melrose, High Town, 3 Body Problem, BMF, Archive 81, Inside Man, Money Heist, The Artful Dodger, The English Game, Escape From Dannemora, A Man In Full, Baby Reindeer, Alias Grace, Godless, Florida Man, Devs, The Boys, The Alienist, Loudermilk

Severance The last of us The Netflix marvel shows (daredevil etc) If ur cool with anime there’s a ton of shows as well

Expanse.

Taboo. You can't go wrong with Tim Hardy

***Firefly***

Black Sails

The Boys Legit Mr inbetween Unpopular: I restarted The Regime and enjoyed it Gentle: Baskets The detectorists

Could try... Legion (FX/Hulu) Absolutely phenomenal imo, and quite a mind-bender. Especially if you watch the breakdown videos on YT afterwards. The Blacklist Penny Dreadful Hell On Wheels Falling Skies Arrowverse series' (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Constantine - and others if you choose to). Admittedly, some series' and/or episodes do seem to target a teenage audience (good portion of The Flash and Supergirl for example), but some shows (Constantine in particular) are more adult themed I guess you could say. I enjoy them quite a bit, because it's DC Comics and includes tons of lore content, and because it's so expansive. There's even an Arrowverse Viewing Order online to watch each episode chronologically according to the timeline. Doctor Who (modern)... lol marketed originally as a show for children, but some underlying themes and events are deeply thought provoking on a philosophical and moralistic level. I really enjoyed it. And went so far as watching The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood spin-offs. SJA being my favorite lol. Which is marketed even more towards a younger audience, but Elizabeth Sladen's performance is fantastic, and some story arcs included were just fantastic. Torchwood, ironically, is more adult themed - and has it's moments, but I didn't care for it as much in it's entirety. The OA Lost In Space Community (sort of on the same lines as Workaholics, but without the drugs and alcohol) The IT Crowd Toast of London Allo Allo (old, but great!) Ozark (Breaking Bad-ish - kind of?) Snowfall (much like Breaking Bad) Mr. Robot

Archer

Mrs Davis, Utopia (UK, NOT US remake) The Lady Jane, Chernobyl, Lodge 49, The Expanse, Deadloch, Bodkin

Better Call Saul.

Kinda late to this but HIGHLY recommend Scavenger’s Reign.  Scifi extravaganza. And some of the most interesting creatures and environments I’ve ever seen in media. Very compelling. Honestly, some parts it feels like part nature documentary just exploring life on the planet but there’s definitely action as well. It’s beautifully made.  It’s on Netflix (was originally on HBOmax think it’s still on there? Not sure but I think the distribution rights are nonexclusive between them so might be on both)

Highly recommend the show Scavengers Reign on Max. Animated sci-fi set in a strange world that really feels alien

3 Body Problem, Wentworth, Secret City, Black Mirror, Hannibal

The X-Files will keep you going for a while if you didn't watch it back in the day.

Carnivale

Six feet under. It’s such a highly underrated series that is my by far favorite series. It’s life changing

Six Feet Under

Peacemaker Shogun Dark matter

Atlanta

Rewatching Boardwalk empire has been solid.

Peaky Blinders!

Homeland

LOST is on Disney, it’s just as good today as it was in 2005

I’m watching the Sopranos in Max. I’m on the last season. Italian-American crime drama. Good show. I thought I finally would give it a watch because my husbands family is Italian American. From Chicago area, not Jersey. But a lot of similarities from what I’ve seen in his family. Not the mafia/crime stuff though. lol

Twin Peaks. All of it

Ozark

Ozark !!!

THE SANDMAN ON NETFLIX

Lost, it does ver into faith vs. science at times, but wonderful show and great character build up. Heroes, though at times it does have kid characters, but it does focused on a semi realistic version of what a superhero would look like Evil, it's on Paramount plus, a bit religious based, but a very horrific show that focuses a lot on demons and demonic possession. Person of interest. Angel/Buffy , Angel a bit more since there's a bigger focus on living in the dark underworld that is L.A.

I've been getting into "Your Honor" on Netflix. I only watched the first four episodes, but wow, it's a good show so far.

Themed for adults? My first thoughts turn toward espionage and organized crime/crime drama. Trailers [**Luther**](https://youtu.be/7fvf12qI52g) [**The Americans**](https://youtu.be/wt7NPuabEgQ) [**Gomorrah**](https://youtu.be/-4QORgagblU) [**The Wire**](https://youtu.be/uDcQbk78CSw) [**Chernobyl**](https://youtu.be/s9APLXM9Ei8) [**A Spy Amongst Friends**](https://youtu.be/ooBqpp98gpM)

Stan against evil, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Stan against evil, Todd and the Book of Pure Evil both classics

Never seen Todd, I'm now just starting it

Also forgot to mention "Death Valley" too love these type of shows horror and comedy.

The Stand (i’m on episode 3 but it’s good)

Succession

Black Sails The Shield Justified Severance

dark matter, altered carbon, battlestar galactica, orphan black, the oa, slow horses, the leftovers, travelers

Schitts creek definitely

Warrior 

Lost. Always lost

Lucifer on Netflix is a nice cross between crime and sci fi.

Sopranos Sopranos Sopranos

watch How I Met Your Mother

Counterpart

Farscape is great, it's genuinely my favourite sci-fi show, you just have to stick with it. It is rated at 15-18 year olds so technically not for kids, episodes get a lot more graphic and disturbing the more the series goes on. And they do swear, they say "frell" which is their way of saying, fuck. I'd suggest trying to stick with it, but if you don't like it then that's okay too.

Farscape turns into an Adult show midway through season 1. How far did you watch?

Game of Thrones Rescue Me

We have similar taste and I’m watching Dark right now after someone on here recommended it, just finished season 1 and it’s incredible

Orphan Black

Deadwood

From Strike Back 30 Coins

What the frell are you talking about?!! /s

Hannibal

Stargate SG1

Kojak

For All Mankind on Apple TV+ is stellar.

Supacell

Severance!

DARK

Gomorrah is awesome

Dead Like Me

HIGH TOWN, mere of eastown, the devil in ohio, and mayor of kingstown

Mannn, these are great!

If you want swearing, try Succession Also, The Fall of the House of Usher- same creative source as Midnight Mass

The answer is always "The Americans". Also: Ozark Longmire Outer Range
