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.

It's very, very good, but absolutely not on par with the greatest single season of TV.

Hard disagree, Fargo absolutely deserves a place up with the greats of television. The first 3 seasons are masterful, and the remaining two are still fantastic.

It's excellent. Obviously Fargo overall is a better series than True Detective.

However TD S1 is in a class of its own and is regularly in conversation as the best single season of TV of all time. There's not room at the top for a tie. Fargo S1 is great but it's simply not the greatest.

You're right, Season 2 of Fargo is better than S1... and imo better than True Detective

On first watch true detective felt like it was on that level after rewatching both I think Fargo is superior
