None of these are even in my top 10. And Lost sucks, I will hear nothing different (that show is rudderless bullshit from episode 1, fight me). Better Call Saul is better than all of these. So is BoJack Horseman. So is Mad Men. So is The Haunting of Hill House. Hell, even Ted Lasso despite season 2.

Take away all the GOAT candidates: The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Lost.

What’s the best show outside of that group?

Can confirm, the inevitable outcome of studying religion academically was to become a horror author. There was no real alternative.

major danger of horror research is getting way too into theology.
