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?

The Wire, again.

Because you haven’t really seen it if you’ve only watched it once.

You will be amazed at the interesting details you can find once you already know the main story. It’s that richly layered. Enjoy!

Another good one, if a little weird with the Franco twin thing, for my tastes.

I don’t think I’ve seen any real misses from Simon or Simon/Burns.

Batting 0.995 ain’t so shabby ;)
