I haven’t been watching much in terms of actual shows for a good while, then while listening to a podcast a host casually mentioned they had rewatched Chernobyl, how it still holds up, that there’s a reason it got as much acclaim as it did, etc. So I thought I’d give it a go and wow, loved it (still one episode left to watch).
Had me thinking, what else have I missed out on? What are some “absolute cinema” TV shows that still hold up and and are considered must watch?


It’s a bit older, but the HBO series ROME is amazing. There are two seasons and I’ve watched both at least 11 times each. Hell, you could throw it on right now and I’d sit down to watch it.
Now that’s an absolute banger, I’ll never get over it. And some, hehe, adult content, was alright
I loved the first season, but the rest felt rushed. Still amazing.
They did have to rush it because the original plan was cut down by a lot. I’m still salty for HBO on that one
Love it. Great storytelling, costumes, sets that bring ancient Rome alive.
