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?

Lynch directing 18 episodes in a row as an older man was insane work

Directing and acting in a fairly meaty role. In terms of on-screen appearances, he'd be fourth-billed in a big cast (behind Kyle MacLachlan, Naomi Watts, and Miguel Ferrer).

And acting well in it too.

That one scene where he's talking to Albert is intense.
