Any shows like Jack Ryan, Homeland, or Designated Survivor to watch?

[HeatherC]

We are looking for a new show to watch. These three are of the genre that we both (dh and I) enjoy together. We have Amazon Orimes Video, Netflix, Hulu and YouTube TV.

Any suggestions?

‘Thanks!

Did you watch 24 back in the day? Even if you've seen it, it's worth watching again.

Another vote for 24. Ie was just so good.

Orphan Black. Flashpoint. NCIS. Alias. Blacklist. Prison Break. Lethal Weapon (1st season).

Let me go through the Netflix originals, and I'll come up with some more.

Thanks guys! We have watched most of these. Loved 24! Wish every show was that good.

Will check out Burn Notice and Prison Break as those are the two mentioned we haven’t seen.

Well, this one is not exactly like the shows you listed (I loved HOMELAND), but I am really enjoying Bosch. It's been around for a while and I can't believe I turned up my nose at it for so long. It's not "the government against the spies" kind of show but the main character is really great as are the story lines.

Homeland

Narcos on Netflix

I loved that too! Read all the books so it is fun to see it in a show.

Warehouse 13, Manifest, Castle

The Wire

The Bridge - there's a Swedish version and an American version. Both are good and the series start with a body found on a bridge between 2 countries.

MI-5 (original name Spooks). The 2015 movie is available on Netflix. The series is available on BritBox.

If you haven't watched it already, The West Wing is a must watch. It doesn't have the grittiness or intrigue or violence of the others on this list, but it's a fabulous political drama, with occasional humor thrown in. It's on Netflix.

Bosch is great and as far as the Amazon Originals go so is Goliath. We are currently watching The Marvelous Mrs Maisel and while totally different than the other shows mentioned is outstanding.

Not like the above but in Netflix recommendations Wentworth was worth checking out.
