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?


Good list.
OP doesn;'t mention how long they haven’t been watching but I would add Arrested Development to the comedy show list.
Yeah, the two best sitcoms of the 2000s, incredibly deep humor, great stories, so much rewatchability (I know, because I do).
I’m always jealous when I hear someone hasn’t seen one or either.
