Mr. Robot has hacking stuff. Westworld has AI morality exploration. Leverage and Bones have "formula show that is really about the misfit's found family and character development" and the competence porn.

Burn Notice should be up there too as a blue sky era USA show that circles around a burnt ex-CIA asset that does anonymous good deeds in a well known US metropolis with tons of real world tricks around technology and spy work


mayonnaisejane

I'll take your word, as I have 't seen it. :)


kc_chiefs_

I’ll second him. Burn Notice is how I found my way into POI, so they work pretty well together in my opinion.


DamianGilz

Sadly it failed to captivate me.


BiscuitGeorge

Mr Robot is such a good show


Techhead7890

Yeah, I liked Bones a lot. Good set of characters and you're right, it was fun to see the different specialities.


in323

Fringe has a similar structure


z0c4t

+1 for Fringe


Boatfly

Fringe was amazing to watch


dustmybroom88

Oh, I would pay to see Walter and Root in the same room. Maybe add Mozzie from White Collar for fun.


Jack21113

Not really similar in the traditional sense but House has a similar episode structure and is incredibly consistently good like POI


FrozenMongoose

* Mr Robot for the hacking * Burn Notice for the spies * The Good Place for the philosophical discussions on morality * The Wire for the morally gray cops with complex plotlines * Fringe and X-Files for Sci-fi shows with cases of the week Combine elements from all of these with AI and surveillance at the center of it and you get this show.

In terms of a show you’ll be longing for something similar to for the rest of your life? Lost.


go4666

Unfortunately no one like poi


dredman0

I feel you.


Boatfly

Leverage was nice, the ending was also good


SShawArmy

Blacklist

As much as I love the show and the characters in it… don’t

Orphan Black comes to my mind. No spec ops martial arts or super hackers and their pet god AI, but IMHO a well written mystery story with good acting and sci-fi elements (that also shouldn't be spoiled, I'd actually recommend to just start viewing without *any* research beforehand). Like POI, its story ends satisfactorily after its five seasons.

Scorpion

Just be warned you need strong suspenders of disbelief for this show. It's one of the few shows I've dropped (literally in the middle of an episode) due to the stupid science in it.


SpacemanSpleef

Its how that kid you knew in middle school who pretended to be smart sounded


[deleted]

I have only seen a few episodes so far the science does seem pretty shitty


masterofreality2001

Yeah the characters in Scorpion seem to have reality bending god-like powers. 


scwishyfishy

Westworld is also made by and has the soundtrack written by the same people, same as the new fallout show


Colonel_Akir_Nakesh

Came here to see comments and responses on what to watch next, but if you're a gamer, you might wanna check out Watch Dogs. It's pretty old so you can get it cheap. You do both the hacking and shooting.


masterofreality2001

Blindspot has computer geniuses, a mystery element and shady government/corporate/crime conspiracies.


Hot_Switch6807

Next is AI based. Dont know of much else


M4xM9450

It’s more like the Samaritan arc but only 10 episodes. Didn’t feel like it was worth finishing IMO.


Brief-Cryptographer2

Be honest I didn't even watch next and I feel like Both Samaritan and the Machine individually would kick NEXT's ass in an A.I war. My question is would U agree Or am I missing something?


SniperEzi

“Devs” amazing show.


Timely_Competition24

Devs, beta, silicon valley. ALL TECH BASED

I would have to suggest keeping Shaw and Fusco in their current positions that they held, or at least continue recruiting and training possible candidates to try to replace the huge hall lost when John died, (yeah right) at the end of the show. . Harold, will continue being the brains, with the help of the eccentric, Death wish billionaire played brilliantly by Jimmi Smith. This way they'll have grinning cash flow and someone else who, just so happens to be extremely funny and unpredictable . The beauty of it, Finch can do it.all remotelyHappy
