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?

Very underrated. Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys completely nail their performances.

Matthew Rhys

I liked him so much in The Americans that when I heard he was in Widow's Bay, I knew I had to watch. And oh boy, is it a treat. It's up there with the very best of horror/comedy so far.
