>TLOU is def high quality but I don’t think it will have the same lasting impact as the shows you mentioned. Also look at westworld. It was extremely popular during season 1. It’s too early to make those claims of TLOU.
I agree it's too early to tell, OP might have a recency bias. But TLOU has more chances to have a lasting effect than Westworld. Westworld was a puzzle, more of an intellectual exercise, once the tricks got old and there was nothing more for viewers to cling to - the popularity fizzled. TLOU is tapping into emotional stuff, it speaks of the human condition on a similarly ambitious and grand scale to other great TV shows like Breaking Bad.
