From your description I would reccomend Fringe. It has Sci Fi paranormal themed xfiles kind of vibe. The first season's episodes dont seem to follow up plot wise troughout the episodes but it gets  better with the later seasons. The plot might seem confusing at first but is really clever and the characters are all really good, especially Walter (a mad professor kind of guy). Â
Game of Thrones is my personal favourite show. Its a fantasy based drama/thriller about power and rivaling clans (Sopranos meets lord of the rings kind of vibe). The fantasy aspect of the series is never the main theme. The characters are the best any series has to offer. You will fall in love and/or hate many of them and will get attached to them. The story is top notch and trust me you will get emotionally attached to this show. Its simply the best show tv has to offer right now.
If you want to see a horror vibe tv show the the walking dead is excellent (zombie apocalypse ) and American Horror Story is also really good. The thing with AMS though is that the characters dont persist troughout seasons with some of the actors playing different roles. Each season has its own theme too (s1=haunted house, s2=asylum for the mad).
If you want more authentic drama thriller tv shows then Sopranos, the Wire, Sons of Anarchy & Boardwalk Empire are all very good but they are kind of slow paced. If you enjoyed the Shield you will most definetley like those shows too.

Im a big tv show geek and have seen lots of them and all I can say is that my top 3 shows are Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones & Sopranos.
