In Reply to: So how many of you saw the finale of Breaking Bad last night? (Spoiler Alert) posted by Raiderman on September 30, 2013 at 10:37:38:
Two recent series that comes close are Homeland and The Killing. Both have complex characters that aren't easily labeled 'hero' or 'villain' but do evolve throughout the show. Of course it's essential to watch from the beginning for each. The Killing is available on Netflix instant (at least seasons 1 and 2, not sure about 3). I don't know the availability of Homeland but it's worth buying either on disc or download.
The Newsroom is a pretty good series that has it's ups/downs but the cast is so good I overlook it's often sappy moments. American Horror Story is brutal and difficult to watch, but gripping. There's little in the way of visible brutality...it's just so dark and psychologically trying.
