To emotionally connect with characters from a different series like I have with Sons of Anarchy is just not going to happen.
That would be asking too much from me.
I am a victim of a wholehearted obsession with the story of Walter White from Breaking Bad and his desire to provide for his family, no matter the danger or recklessness. I have fallen head over heels for Gemma Teller Morrow's confidence and sarcasm laced with leather jackets and black heels -- the perfect "old lady" --in Sons of Anarchy. I've also held on tight to the roller coaster that is Piper Chapman's personality behind bars in Orange is the New Black.
So what do you watch after you've seen everything good? Bear with me here, and prepare to fall in love with shows that you've never watched and maybe haven't even heard of.
1. Friday Night Lights
If you like football and drama, then this show is meant for you. The series follows the story of small town Dillon, Texas -- a southern community that runs on football. After the spinal injury of the super star Panther's quarterback under the coaching of Eric Taylor, the series guides you through relationship struggles on and off the field. If that doesn't interest you, then just watch it for the fact that Tim Riggins, the guy pictured above, is major eye candy.
2. The Get Down
When Netflix first started advertising The Get Down as an original series, I was in shock. Could such a multinational entertainment platform create a delicious 70's based story? The answer is yes. Netflix did it, and they did it successfully. The Get Down will have you wanting to slip on your wedges and your high waist shorts and dance through the South Bronx as underground disco starts to surface into the the streets of New York City in six episodes. If 70's nostalgia isn't your thing, then watch it for the sake of Jaden Smith's budding acting career.
3. Freaks and Geeks 
This James Franco throwback is the perfect show to watch without doing much thinking. If you're looking for a simple minded comedy-drama, look no further. It's the school year of 1980-1981 as the series follows a group of teenagers -- some identified as freaks (here we have Franco) and others as geeks. The setting takes place in a casual suburb in Detroit as the show navigates through the difficulties of young relationships and fighting through the awkward stages of high school. Not for you? Just watch for the simple fact that everyone needs a little bit of a punk young Franco in their life, including you.
4. Prison Break
Broadcasted on Fox for four seasons, this intense drama will have you at the edge of your seat from beginning to end. This series follows the story of Michael Scofield and his brother Lincoln Burrows under the false conviction of the murder of the Vice President. After tattooing the blueprints of Fox River Penitentiary on his body, Scofield is convicted of robbery to get into prison to ultimately break his brother out. This show is the only show that creates impossible situations to get out of yet it still provides solutions. If prison shows are not your thing,then watch for the simple fact that Michael Scofield's eyes will have you dreaming about them for four seasons.
5. Dexter
Prepare for blood splatters and a double lifestyle as you engage into the story of this Miami native, Dexter Morgan. Morgan is a forensic technician for the Miami Metro Police Department. Living a double life, Morgan uses his skill and connection with the police department to bring murderers to justice by murdering them himself. Throughout 96 episodes, you will follow the story of how Morgan became a mastermind of murder due to being the victim of a childhood tragedy.
If you can bear the gore, then get ready to become mentally invested in the story of a liar. It is difficult to fall in love with a new series after you have finished the best of the best, but with an open mind you will be able to discover new shows that you wouldn't have loved before.
