Psych

Maybe after nine seasons of Suits, you’re ready to lighten things up. Psych is just the thing. It still delivers the same witty, talky touch in the form of a comedy/drama but skips the intensity.

Years later, Shawn’s frequent tips to the police lead to him being falsely accused of a crime he solved.

Synopsis: A contemporary and culturally resonant drama about a young programmer, Elliot, who suffers from a debilitating anti-social disorder and decides that he can only connect to people by hacking them.

Better Call Saul

Harvey Specter isn’t the only one that comes to mind when we think “hotshot lawyer”. Saul Goodman from Better Call Saul might take the cake for arrogant attorney. If you enjoyed the character progression in Suits, Better Call Saul follows the transformation—or rather destruction—of the main protagonist. It’s a highly-rated stylized drama series that’s carefully plotted from beginning to end.

Synopsis: 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”.

The Blacklist

Another series with the perfect blend of clever and serious is The Blacklist. Thrilling, dark, and mysterious.

Synopsis: Raymond “Red” Reddington, one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, surrenders in person at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. He claims that he and the FBI have the same interests: bringing down dangerous criminals and terrorists. In the last two decades, he’s made a list of criminals and terrorists that matter the most but the FBI cannot find because it does not know they exist. Reddington calls this “The Blacklist”.

Blue Bloods

Workplace intrigue mixed with family? Talk about upping the ante. Blue Bloods has all the drama of Suits, but adds a new level with its family dynamics.

Synopsis: A drama about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. Frank Reagan is the New York Police Commissioner and heads both the police force and the Reagan brood.

House of Cards

House of Cards has a lot of the same elements of Suits — it’s witty, it’s intellectual, and it illustrates corruption in ethics. It’s dark, shocking, and compelling.

Synopsis: Set in present-day Washington, D.C., House of Cards is the story of Frank Underwood, a ruthless and cunning politician, and his wife Claire who will stop at nothing to conquer everything. This wicked political drama penetrates the shadowy world of greed, sex, and corruption in modern D.C.

Sherlock

If you love the cleverness of Suits, we have just the thing. What better representation of an intellectual drama series than Sherlock? Not the legal drama that is Suits, but equally intriguing. It’s revered for its unpredictable plotting, witty quips, and stylized cinematics.

Much more of a psychological thriller rather than a legal drama, but just as interesting. The protagonist uses his knowledge of psychology to get into the minds of criminals. If you’re hoping to find something thought-provoking, Mindhunter would be it.

Scorpion

Impressed by Mike Ross’s photographic memory? Scorpion is a good option to watch next. A team of eccentric geniuses work together against high-tech threats in this drama series, putting them in rocky situations. Reviews for season one aren’t great but, hang in there, it gets better in season two.

Synopsis: Based on a true story, Scorpion is a high-octane drama about eccentric genius Walter O’Brien and his team of brilliant misfits who comprise the last line of defense against complex, high-tech threats of the modern age.

House of Lies

A goofy satire with a notable cast. Irreverent like Suits, but in a much different way. Explores similar themes of ambition, power, and ethics. It’s not a taste for everyone’s palate but worth a try if that’s your kind of thing.

Synopsis: Charming, fast-talking Marty Kaan and his crack team of management consultants know how to play the corporate game better than anyone, by using every dirty trick in the book to woo powerful CEOs and close huge deals.
