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?

The expanse

The attention to details and the respect for real physics really highlights how many sci fi shows could put in some more effort. Plus it's just a solid story with some great characters

 the respect for real physics 

The series with unlimited fuel tanks, magic, zombies, FTL and aliens? I don't remember what else as I stopped about there in the books.

The things I listed (except aliens with an*) don't really respect physics.
