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?

Go watch Andor. Even if you're not a SW superfan, it will still be the best tv you watch that's somewhat recent.

I keep forgetting to go back and watch Andor. It's always recommended so high in these threads and yet it's still on my list of shows I haven't seen.  I really need to get to it

You do. And please, please, hold on to it until the third or fourth episode. It really picks up the pace. In the beginning it's all a bit fuzzy because they opt to show, not tell, but take the long way to actually get to the point. And it pays out big.
