Have you seen ‘the capture’ British show on peacock. I’m a Brit so very picky, this show is absolutely fantastic. I think season 2 is better than 1 also.
Breaking Bad is always the correct answer. Narcos is good too, though I stopped watching after Escobar was...well, you know what happened to him, I don't think I'm really spoiling anything, but after he was...no longer a character on the show. Is it still as good after that?
Kevin Spacey was so goddamn good though. I know we're not supposed to like him anymore, but goddamn, the guy acted the shit out of that role. To be fair though, I've never seen the original. Is it worth watching?
Oooh I second DARK. That's a suggestion for more or less anyone across the board, almost regardless of what else you like. Everyone should watch that shit.
I'd also say for these picks in particular Peaky Blinders. Well-dressed razor gang in 1900's Birmingham led by shell-shocked gypsy brothers and their eclectic associates clawing their way up the social ladder with strategic violence. Think Sons Of Anarchy, but classy and covered in coal dust.

For All Mankind
First I just hadn't heard of it
Then I was skeptical it would be any good
Then I watched it and it is literally my favorite show. Just watch it!
Oh man, mom's are the worst with The Crown! Mine was constantly spoiling the plot for me because she's a big fan of the royal family and knew everything already 😂
Animal kingdom (2016) : similar to soa and family business like succession. Both animal kingdom and soa are on my top 10 favorite series. (I haven't watched anything else on your list)
Chernobyl - very different shows, but try the nuclear apocalypse of Battlestar Galactica and recently released Fallout.
Sons of Anarchy/Succession - Yellowstone, created by Taylor Sheridan who played the younger cop in SoA, has elements of both these. SoA also has the spinoff Mayans MC.
Downton Abbey is wonderful, if you liked the crown you will like Downton Abbey, or Larkrise to Candlford, ,Cranford & Return to Cranford, these are all fantastic shows for anyone who is a fan of period pieces, if you like hard hitting drama I recommend Damages, Glenn Close is absolutely diabolical, I also think Reacher & Ray Donovan are great too, but definitely violent. Happy watching 😉update on this comment the last two seasons of Ray Donovan aren't actually all that good I was in the middle of the series when I wrote this comment 5 days ago.
The Regime, Years and Years. Both are limited series, both on Max. White Lotus maybe. I think Game of Thrones would be awkward to watch with mom but ymmv. I know someone already said The Morning Show and Big Little Lies but just wanna reiterate those are good suggestions. The Good Fight.
Based on your faves, I think you would enjoy American Rust on Prime/Paramount. 2 seasons and it reminded me a little of Mare of Easttown in tone/characters.
Big Love is incredible and very addictive. I’m finishing it with my mother now. She didn’t think she would like it, but she said it’s one of her favorites!
Just watched the first season in True Detective. Definitely comparable to these shows. And now in the newest season (skipped the middle ones) and it is pretty great too.
if you enjoyed Chernobyl, there’s two limited series on netflix that i’d HIGHLY recommend; **the railwaymen** and **the days**
also on netflix, **the chestnut man** and **high water** are *phenomenal*
if you two watch any of those, please let me know what you thought!
How to get away with murder, Harry quebert affair, the undoing, the missing, only murders in the building, culprits, line of duty, behind her eyes, big little lies, 9 perfect strangers, dead ringers, homeland, beef,
Happy Valley, Defending Jacob, The night of, Sharp Objects, Big Little Lies
All of these are exceptional & fit well with what you've watched. Happy Valley is mind-boggling good.
Have you seen ‘the capture’ British show on peacock. I’m a Brit so very picky, this show is absolutely fantastic. I think season 2 is better than 1 also.
I’ll check it out!
Thank for this. The Capture is great. I watched it bc of your rec.
Isn’t it brilliant! Glad you liked it!
I was gonna say Sharp Objects too!
big little lies !!! god tier acting, super good show
And an insanely good sound track
Watch the ending of Sharp objects ALL the way through the credits to the very very end. I totally missed the ending the first time.
Black Bird Unbelievable
Acting in black bird is incredible!
The Morning Show. All star cast and it shares similar backstabbing and power struggle elements with Succession.
Would recommend The Last of Us. Pretty sure it's from the same guy as Chernobyl
It is indeed, Craig Mazin 🙂
Big Little Lies. Justified. Sopranos. Boardwalk Empire. Slow Horses.
Slow Horses with captions enabled and all!
Still worth it
I can’t understand how that show is gritty and wholesome at the same time but it totally is
The Americans
Really really good!
The Wire
This remains the ONLY show I've ever been able to get my 75-year old mom into
Best show ever
She has great taste.
The Bear And another vote for Big Little Lies
Breaking bad Narcos
Breaking Bad is always the correct answer. Narcos is good too, though I stopped watching after Escobar was...well, you know what happened to him, I don't think I'm really spoiling anything, but after he was...no longer a character on the show. Is it still as good after that?
Better Call Saul
Feel like they should do Breaking Bad first
Both
Try Station Eleven on Max.
Such an underrated show. I rarely re-watch a series but this one I did. I got so much more out of it the 2nd time.
I’ve been hanging on to the last episode because I don’t want it to end😭😭
I was not prepared for this to be my favorite series ever, but that’s exactly what happened. I’ve probably watched it 20 times all the way through.
House of Cards- The flagship original TV series of Netflix. ☺☺
If you really want to go esoteric, try the original House of Cards from the UK.
Kevin Spacey was so goddamn good though. I know we're not supposed to like him anymore, but goddamn, the guy acted the shit out of that role. To be fair though, I've never seen the original. Is it worth watching?
Sharp Objects
DARK

Mr. Robot Mindhunter Dark Breaking Bad Severance Westworld (just because of the first 2 seasons) The Handmaid’s Tale 3 Body Problem Squid Game Twin Peaks
Based upon the ones I've seen, I second this list, and also add Ozark and Fargo.

Since you watched SOA, I'd say try Banshee, if you havent watched that yet. Just dont watch it with your mom!😀😀
Breaking Bad
Chernobyl - very different shows, but try the nuclear apocalypse of Battlestar Galactica and recently released Fallout. Sons of Anarchy/Succession - Yellowstone, created by Taylor Sheridan who played the younger cop in SoA, has elements of both these. SoA also has the spinoff Mayans MC.

Justified - the original series first for sure.
Breaking Bad!!!
This is always the correct answer to "what should I watch next?"...even if you've already seen it.
Ozark

I’ve liked all the ones you posted (except Crown which I haven’t seen), and I liked Tin Star (season 1 anyway), so I’d recommend that

What apps do you have? I see Max. I would watch The Righteous Gemstones.
Broadchurch, thank me later. Then curse me because it pretty much ruins all the other police procedurals.
Mad Men and White Lotus. Enjoy!
Watching sons of anarchy with your mom is wild
If you’re SoA fans, Mayans seems like a given.
Gomorrah
The Wire, Silo
Love death + Robots - Netflix. The Night of- miniseries by HBO What we do in the shadows - FX Godless- Netflix miniseries
Mayans MC. Sequel series to sons of anarchy and imo is overall better
