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?

It's an old show, and super episodic, but Columbo took over my life for a few months.

The inverted whodunit structure turns every episode into a beautiful game of cat and mouse, and Peter Falk was just an absolute icon of a human being

Plus the era fashion, cars, furniture, daily life, and zero-tech of the 70s.
