I just finished the last 5 episodes. I've never been so overwhelmed by a tv show before. I haven't cried like that since Schindler's List! It's crazy how you come to care about fictionalized people so much, like they're real and you actually know them.. ?
I already miss coming home and watching the next episode. Hopefully I can find a new show that I love just as much!
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should watch next?
It's hard to find a show that fills the space of SFU and there's nothing else quite like it. One thing SFU did for me was to heavily invest me in the characters..and make me not want to leave them...aside from the excellent writing and acting.
Here's a few that might help;
BSG was a good choice..although it reminds me more of LOST..(which also is a good choice if you haven't watched it. I fell in love with those characters no matter how crazy it got)
Breaking Bad (if you can find a way to relate to either Walt or Jesse it's excellent)
Rectify (it's not for everyone and it's a slow burn but if you're into character development it's one of the most haunting shows out there)
Friday Night Lights (I hated football but loved this show..It's better than you might think even if you're not into football or teenagers)
As far as excellently written or just enjoyable...and maybe investing in the characters... there's these to try
Ray Donovan
The Americans
Fargo
GOT
Orphan Black
Kingdom (I'm not into MMA but it's a good show with interesting characters)
Outlander
Bloodlines
I'm now addicted to Rectify.. and it's all your fault! Haha Thanks for the suggestions!
shareBloodline (Netflix) reminds me of SFU somewhat.
No so much the story...but the family dynamic is pretty similar.
