Since you like Scandal, Amandine, I'd recommend checking out the ABC show called "Revenge". It's a modern twist on the Count of Monte Cristo staring a young woman who is going to bring her father's enemies to justice. There is a lot of intricate planning in the show and plenty of drama. It is basically a revenge drama crossed with a soap opera and I enjoy the heck out of it.
With American Horror Story and The Following also on your watch list, I will also say that "Hannibal" could be a good fit. The show is fantastic. It has its gory and squeamish parts (for network TV, that is), but it also has great cinematography, chilling imagery and subject matter, wonderful interplay between the characters, and great casting. If you're familiar with the source material, ("Red Dragon", "The Silence of the Lambs", "Hannibal") then you should definitely try it. It's a superb psychological thriller.
@Lou -- the first season of Person of Interest starts out as generic, I admit, but boy howdy does it pic up around 8-13 in Season 1. The second season has been the best television I've watched in years. (Still has the occasional clunker, but it happens to the best shows.) This thing rivals Lost in terms of influencing the next generation of shows, I swear. The S2 finale was just ... wow.
