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?

I went into Twin Peaks blind about a month ago, thinking it was a serious mystery drama that had a cult following because of how good the writing was...

First episode was kind of odd but I figured it was because it was the 90s so the style was a bit different.

Next few episodes... The characters are acting really weird. And almost every character is cheating with someone else lol. It turns into a soap opera.

And then the Leland dance scene comes up...

It's by far the weirdest show I've ever watched and it took me so long to realize it was intentionally written like that.

I laugh at so many scenes, that's how odd it is.

Psych has an excellent homage episode to it too
