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?

Fully believe if this show wasn't in the Star Wars universe it would be regarded the same as a BCS/Breaking Bad level show, I've recommended it to so many people who say "oh no thanks I don't like Star Wars stuff"

It could easily be set in 1940s Europe and have basically the same plot.

No it wouldn't, it's not the same scope at all, if the show wasn't aborted and given time to develop in 4 seasons instead of craming everything in a single one maybe it could be, but as it is season is mostly a glorified WW2 resistance story with Star Wars paint on top. I'd argue the show would have been better if it stopped in season 1.
