Looking for a very specific recommendation, like The Shield
Hello! I'm looking for some show recommendations...for something very specific, in a way similar to The Shield, but probably not how you expect.
The type of show is not important, I'm not looking for a cop show.
I'm looking specifically for shows that heavily revolve around a singular moment from the pilot episode (or at least early in the series), where that moment stays not only relevant, but also part of the plot for the entire duration of the series.
The Shield is really the only show I can think of like this, where an individual moment from the pilot episode is referenced and at the center of a complicated web of story arcs. Throughout all 7 seasons, that singular moment is revisited in the "Previously On" segments in multiple episodes each season.
One moment leading to 7 seasons of intrigue, where the actual events of that moment remain relevant and under discussion in meaningful ways within the universe.
I can think of other shows that carry out a moment of intrigue for an entire season, but it rarely continues throughout the series (Bloodline, Cruel Summer, Big Little Lies etc).
I'm not exactly sure how to better describe what I'm looking for but hopefully you all have some good ideas!
