Recently I've been watching a lot of Boardwalk Empire. I really fell in love with it. Unfortunately, I got massively spoiled by some piece of shit scumbags and now I have to kiss this show goodbye.
Anything similar I can watch instead? Doesn't have to take place in the same time period - I just want similar themes and things that made this show so great:
- complex story, preferably with political undertones
- lots of well-written, believable slice of life drama
- interesting characters with rich personalities and backstories
- lots of plot twists and backstabbing
Thanks in advance for helping a brother out.

OP here. One more criterion I forgot to mention, so I'll add it here: It would also be nice if the show featured as many characters "living a secret life" as possible. Kind of like Nucky was a politician to the people, but "after hours" he was managing illegal alcohol distribution. That kind of stuff.

anything by hbo. maybe bored to death (teacher working as detective), the sopranos or hung (male teacher working in prostitution)
spoiled what, the last season? i think it's still worth watching and it got awfully predictable anyway.
maybe try:
the knick
turn
the man in the high castle
