1. House of Cards
If political and legal drama is your thing, House of Cards
should be the next show you watch! The show is loosely based off of the U.K. show as well as the novel. The show is set in Washington, D.C. and tells the story of a Democrat from South Carolina who is looking to give himself more power. As you’d expect, with this want for more power comes a crazy plan and lots of trouble.

2. The Americans
The Americans takes place during the early 1980s during the Cold War and is the perfect example of a drama-filled spy show. The Americans
chronicles two KGB officers, posing as an American couple living in Virginia with two children. The best part is that their neighbor is a counterintelligence FBI agent. Talk about plenty of juicy drama!

3. Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey is another drama-filled show that takes place during a historical setting. The show
is set during 1912 and 1925 in Yorkshire. The show is based around the lives of the Crawley family, who are aristocrats, as well as their domestic servants. Several historical events are portrayed in the show, to include the sinking of Titanic and the start of WWI. This show is perfect for history lovers who also love some drama.
4. Breaking Bad
Breaking Bad is a crime drama and thriller with loose ties of western themes. The show is all about Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who has incurable lung cancer. With the help of a former student, White turns to a crime-filled life and sells crystal meth in efforts to ensure his family is taken care of after he dies. The show takes viewers into the various dangers of the criminal world but also follows a theme many of us can relate to: family first.
I’ve seen all of these shows except for House of Cards. I absolutely love the other three and I tried to watch House of Cards but I just couldn’t get into it for some reason.
I LOVE House of Cards! I really need to check out The Americans- sounds like a show I could really get in to.
We have been considering trying Amazing Prime, and I think we will. I really want to watch the American and Downtown Abbey. This would be the perfect reason to binge them!
breaking bad sounds exciting! gonna check this out! my family loves amazon prime!
I’ve never seen Breaking Bad and I feel so bad! I’ve never heard anyone say anything bad about the show.
I’ve watched Downton Abbey so many times now. And I will continue to because it’s my all time favorite series. I’ll have to check out your other suggestions which I haven’t seen yet.
I finally saw Breaking Bad. Took me long enough to watch an episode, I know. My next goal an episode of Downton Abbey.
I love Breaking Bad. I know that the end does not justify the means but when it is family that is involved, you’d go to the ends of hell and back for them.
I’ve never seen most of these but will for sure be adding these to my watch list this summer.
i’ve never seen even one of these, but it looks interesting and good to watch
