I really enjoy shows that seep in suspense, where there’s the element of mystery to other characters’ motives; stories with many moving parts, where you’re introduced to a character and you’re constantly left speculating if they’re with the MC or have goals of their own, or if their motives are known, when their betrayal will come and how (and whether it will be thwarted).
There’s nothing more satisfying in a story than when all these threads culminate into a satisfying and gripping climax, like the Chicanery scene in Better Call saul, that moment with Lalo in Better Call Saul, the season 3 finale of the Wire, many of Succession’s episodes, or the Crypt in Game of Thrones.
For reference, my favorite shows are Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, the Wire, Succession, Game of Thrones. Amazingly crafted stories where seemingly minute details lead to satisfying highs. And of course with characters to match
