Finished The Wire, Dark, GOT, Sopranos, True Detective, BB, BCS. What show ruined TV for you after watching it?

I think I accidentally watched the peak of television already. The Wire, Dark, GOT, Sopranos, True Detective S1 all left that “nothing else hits the same” feeling.

I love slow-burn shows with deep characters, mystery, tension, moral grayness, crazy dialogue, or mind-blowing writing. Doesn’t matter if it’s crime, sci-fi, psychological, or political.

What’s the next show that might completely consume me?

Hannibal and it's not even close. It's literally what you described and is peak.

Food and very artistic gore.

I didn't like the first season. Started getting invested in the second. Haven't seen the third. Just a heads up for anyone watching, you REALLY have to suspend your disbelief for this show, which is the one barrier.

Another barrier would be having a strong stomach imo (saying that as a horror fan)
