It doesn't matter if you just finished the series or you've been a fan for years, you know the craving that comes after watching Breaking Bad. And while Better Call Saul is the obvious answer, what do you do when you have seen it all?

Based on Roberto Saviano's bestseller, Gomorrah dives deep into the world of Neapolitan crime. It has the intensity of Breaking Bad, but with a European spin on it.

6 seasons, 60 episodes.

• On Rotten Tomatoes, Snowfall has 92% from critics and 93% from the audience.
• On IMDb, Snowfall is rated 8.4/10.

If Breaking Bad showed us the modern meth epidemic, Snowfall takes us back to where another drug crisis began. Snowfall follows the early days of the crack cocaine epidemic from multiple perspectives. The storytelling is rich, layered and painfully relevant.

Like Breaking Bad, Snowfall excels at showing how ordinary people can become caught up in outrageous circumstances.
