Shows that feel likeHouse (2004–2012)

Dr. Gregory House, a drug-addicted, unconventional, misanthropic medical genius, leads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.

If you loved House, the closest series we have are Six Feet Under (2001), Fargo (2014) and The Good Doctor (2017). All three share House's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Agatha All Along (2024).

The shared currency is stillness

Six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. We meet him when the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is “fixer” Mike Ehrmantraut. The series tracks Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts “criminal” in “criminal lawyer".
