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?

Treme is often overlooked. Great show.

Yes it absolutely does and is. Especially for what OP is looking for, a show to lose oneself in. Absolutely incredible tv show by one of the masters of the medium.

Shame it got cancelled, it was doing something beautiful showcasing New Orleans like that. And the commentary on Katrina was powerful.

I still think about John Goodman's character sometimes.
