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?


Some I didn’t see mentioned yet:
Ozark was a an absolute ride. I was hoping someone posted it! There’s one scene that still haunts me to this day. The show was fantastically acted and it was fun seeing people outside their normal roles
It’s worth a watch, to me, because it kept me engaged and looking forward to seeing what happens next
Detectorists such as cozy show. Loved that one too.
