# What to Watch After Breaking Bad: 2 Shows That Hit the Same You finished [Breaking Bad](/shows/breaking-bad-2008) and nothing else quite lands. That is the curse of a perfect show. Here are two very different series that scratch the same itch in their own way, one for the moral rot and one for the scale. ## If You Want More Moral Rot: The Boys [The Boys](/shows/the-boys-2019) trades the New Mexico desert for a corporate boardroom, but the question is the same: what does power do to the person who holds it. It is louder and bloodier than Breaking Bad, yet it shares that cold eye for how people talk themselves into the unforgivable. Where Breaking Bad was a slow burn, **The Boys** is a controlled explosion. If you loved watching Walt rationalize each new line he crossed, you will recognize the same psychology dressed up in a cape. ## If You Want Scale and Stakes: Game of Thrones [Game of Thrones](/shows/game-of-thrones-2011) swaps meth for medieval politics and runs on the same fuel: ambition, consequence, and characters who change one decision at a time. The first four seasons are some of the best television ever made, and they deliver the same feeling of a world where no one is safe and every choice has a price. It is a bigger, colder, more sprawling show than Breaking Bad, but the core appeal is identical. You are watching people sacrifice their souls one practical decision at a time. ## Who These Are For - **Fans of slow corruption** who liked watching Walt choose the worse option every single time. - **Viewers who want real stakes**, where a beloved character is never actually safe. - **People who finish a great series and miss it**, and want the next obsession ready to go. Start with whichever fits your mood tonight, and tell us in the comments which one filled the Breaking Bad shaped hole.
