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?
Nirvanna the Band the Show
I found out about this earlier this year and I’ve already binged it almost three times. It’s very quickly became my favourite comedy and I’m obsessed with how the creators make film and tv. I think I’ve just got the Dirties to watch and then I’ve seen everything they’ve done.
Fuck yes. Also found out about it earlier this year and binged everything they put out. So many times I had to pause or rewind because I was laughing so hard that I missed the next joke. Hysterical show. The movie was decent, but the show is next level imo.
The video game references were just right for me too. The running joke about needing the triple jump in Castlevania had me cracking up.
Matt Johnson directed that Blackberry movie (and Jay did the music), which is also pretty good.
Ooh, did you know about this?

I haven’t seen it yet but it’s on my list.
Yeah i pirated it earlier this year but this Wednesday it’s finally out in a cinema near me so I’m going to go see it there. Sadly there’s only one screening so i can’t see it multiple times :(
