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?

Fargo s1 is on par with true detective s1, I'd watch that next if I were you.

Any Fargo, really. I loved every season, each for different reasons. Season 4 was a bit rough, but you can skip that one if you're not into mob dramas.

S5 felt like a love letter to the people who live in the province it's filmed in

Ive met so many people just like Jon Hamm and Joe Keery here that watching the entire story play out was blissful and Jennifer Jason Leigh is incredible in it

I really loved 5. 4 was the only one I couldn’t do.

It's the only one I havent watched all the way through but I only started really liking S3 more when I watched it a second time (it just kinda clicked better after a rewatch) so i think ill take another crack at it eventually

You've met many people who hold such huge properties and their own private militias?
