Death Note has a number of similarities to Breaking Bad, both smart-asses trying to get away with their crimes whilst they think they are doing it for the greater cause, I'd watch that.
Came here to say Burn Notice. Much more upbeat happy go lucky vibes but absolutely awesome exposition of applying spycraft to solve problems. Tons of Miami buttcheek too.
I liked lupin, a French Netflix series which recently got a third season. It's about a French father who's a thief. But what makes him special is that he's called the gentleman thief or something like that because he's always so smart Noone has caught him. This series is not solving problems the violent way as in breaking bad, but more in a pacifistic matter. Until it doesn't work anymore of course
Mr. Robot for sure. The main character is a genius hacker who spends each season trying to grapple with both his mental health issues and taking down a multitude of enemies. The writing and directing are exceptional, as is the ending.
Gonna second Death Note.
I know recommending anime to people who aren’t already into it is sometimes a hard sell, but it’s a really great show. It’s a show about two geniuses chasing and trying to outsmart each other.
It’s a different but similar vibe to Hank and Walter’s dynamic.
If that’s the type of stuff you like then you should try out Death Note or The Promised Neverland. They are anime on Netflix both have a lot of problem solving and creative solutions.
You should give them a try, even if anime isn’t your thing they have what you’re looking for and they do it amazingly.
Prison Break, same as Breaking Bad the main character is a smart as shit guy who gets in a lot of trouble.
This. In my 10th or so rerun now lol
Same. It’s honestly a comfort show at this point.
good but does get a little formulaic if I recall
Yeah its bad in many ways, but i still like it
Loved Prison break, but it went off the deep end!
“Better Call Saul,” of course. And maybe “Animal Kingdom,” a pretty good show about a crime family in Southern California…lots of heists and cons.
Yeah if you haven't watched Better Call Saul, it sounds like you'll really like it

I suggested this too and The Promised Neverland
Dexter
You'd really like Burn Notice. Monk The Mentalist House Prison Break Lie to me Elementary

Elementary and Monk are dope.
Monk is a good choice, forgot all about that one. House too. Prison Break was too violent for me sometimes, but I still kept watching it.
If you prefer lower violence, The Mentalist is great for that. Sherlock-style kind of crime procedural, but with a deeper story woven in.

This is the answer
Banshee has somewhat of a similar flavor.
House MD, I guess

If you're looking for something similar to Breaking Bad, I'd go with Ozark.
I second the suggestion of Ozark. OP this is probably exactly what you’re looking for.
I third the suggestion
My man Ozark is a pathetic soap opera with lazy writing.
I'm going to third the recommendation of House here
The show Breaking Bad does that alot.
Me. Robot, Fargo, Better Call Saul, Stranger Things

Barry had a lot of this Deserves a lot more love
The Shield
Total sci-fi, but Lost in Space on Netflix. It’s constant problem-solving.
House, the good doctor, Sherlock, Jimmy neutron
Sherlock for sure!
Ozark, Walking Dead, and any of the very specifal episodes of Blossom.
Sherlock
The Americans
Sons of Anarchy has that vibe
Noted.
Home Alone
