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?
There is no “fake intellectuality and garbage dialogue” at all imo. It’s just a game of cat and mouse where two people are trying to trick and one up each other, and it’s not really trying to be anything other than that. Frieren has a higher production quality and better art, but it came out over a decade later so that’s kind of a given. In terms of how well the stories are made, I’d give that to Death Note easily. Frieren has a very good story, but no anime besides Steins;Gate or Code Geass had me wanting to see what happens next like Death Note. I guess it just depends on how much you like thrillers/suspense?
