Season 01 is just the set-up, they were still trying to figure out what to do with the show.
Season 02 is where the fun begins.

Also highly recommend Succession. Brilliant series (and I don't usually watch series at all, except The Wire, Breaking Bad, and The OC and Gossip Girl when I was a teenager).
Note however that there are no masculine rolemodels in Succession. Without exception, all the guys are dweebs. Except maybe Greg, who manages to score with a hottie.

I enjoyed a parts of it, but whenever I watched it I often couldn't help thinking "gee this feels like it's for the entertainment of teenagers and not adults". Do you know what I mean?

I don't. I thought it was brilliantly executed.

Breaking Bad is utterly brilliant no matter your age. Ozymandias remains the most powerful episode of TV I have ever seen.
This was my thought process while watching BB the first time:
Season 1: Excellent TV
Season 2: One of the best modern shows
Season 3: The best modern show
Season 4: The best show of all time
Season 5: Better than Season 4
The Sopranos is the only show I would say is on BB's level, though shows like Mad Men, Better Call Saul, Fargo Season 1, True Detective Season 1, and Game of Thrones Seasons 1-4 are very close.
Haven't seen The Wire or Succession, but based on their acclaim I bet they are way up there too.
Despite Hollywood being in an abysmal state, we seem to be in/coming down from a golden age of television.
