I wouldn't be surprised if there is nothing quite like it, but was curious if anything came close. Looking for a good show like that, that can similarly suck you in.

True Detective is the most recent comparison. Though a slow start, by the end, I put it up there as a perfect(or as close as a show can get) season of TV.

I never watched it, but judging from how everyone responded to it, both LOST and Battlestar Galatica had that effect as well.
For me personally I did mainline Breaking Bad, but also Orange is the New Black once it was on Netflix.

There's been some good recommendations, already, but I'll add House of Cards. I'm halfway through season 2. So good.

Pretty much most TV I've watched. It's Always Sunny, Wilfred, Curb, Twin Peaks. If I find a show interesting I watch it ferverently till I finish or catch up. Damn box sets.

Lost sucked me in after the first 10 minutes.

Walking Dead got me. My problem is I need to see things through the end. I hate not knowing what happens, even for bad movies and shows.

To the point where I forget I'm watching a TV show? I'd say only The Wire, The Shield and True Detective have had that effect on me. I'm always vaguely aware I'm watching a TV show whenever I watch an episode of say Game of Thrones, and I like Game of Thrones more than I liked Breaking Bad (both are in my all-time top 5 though, as are The Wire, The Shield & True Detective). There's just something about Breaking Bad that makes you suspend your disbelief to a point where you forget you're suspending it. Doesn't necessarily make it a more enjoyable show but it does make it extremely well written television.

Sherlock. I saw it for the first time over Christmas, and then binge-watched all three series in one evening.

The Shield is extremely underrated in the pantheon of TV dramas.

By the end of the first episode, I was HOOKED. Really great season of television that I can't recommend highly enough. I'll also cast another vote for The Shield.

The Shield is extremely underrated in the pantheon of TV dramas. Season 5 until the end is about as perfect as television has ever gotten, with "Possible Kill Screen" being one of the best single episodes I've ever seen.

Definitely Lost. The first season is excellent and many consider it to be the best. It won the Emmy that year as well.

For me, the very first show that absolutely hooked me was 24. I rented 24: Redemption and fell in love with the story, the character of Jack Bauer, and at first tried to watch Season 7. I eventually decided to start from the beginning and was hooked after the first episode.
Other shows that hooked me were House M.D., Dexter(Until I read the reviews of Season 7 and 8, haven't attempted to watch them yet), Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, The Shield, Supernatural, Sherlock, The Following, Sons of Anarchy, and American Horror Story all pulled me in as well.
