Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) somehow made high school drama, vampires, comedy, and apocalypse storylines all work at the same time. And the second Sarah Michelle Gellar starts talking, it’s impossible imagining literally anyone else as Buffy.
Lost (2004) had people genuinely losing their minds every week trying to figure out what was happening. Few shows ever created that kind of obsession where entire internet forums turned into detective boards between episodes.
Twin Peaks (1990) lures you in with a murder mystery and small-town Americana, then slowly starts peeling reality apart episode by episode. By the time the Red Room shows up, television basically stopped following normal rules.
