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 The Knick (2014), Six Feet Under (2001) and Fargo (2014). 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 Weeds (2005).

Both are working the same pair: medicine, drug addiction

The difference: Trades the ideas of House for an angle of its own

Set in downtown New York in 1900, 'The Knick' is centered on the Knickerbocker Hospital and its staff, notably Dr. John Thackery, the hospital's brilliant chief surgeon who pushes medicine's boundaries, pioneering new procedures despite a severe drug addiction.

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".
