Quality acting and storytelling, I think, is gonna be the same whether on broadcast networks or premium cable. Profanity, nudity and maybe violence is the only difference. Broadcast networks may have to bow to advertisers in terms of how far they're allowed to push an envelope, but I don't think it's a given that broadcast networks can't compete with premium cable programs if the material is good enough.
P.S.
Go Kiefer Sutherland!
