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?
law drama: svu 1-S(when stabler left the show), the new seasons just dont hit as good as pre-2010s, mariska had to be asked to come back to the show with a significant PAY package(shes kinda done with the show). law and order CI with vincent d’nofrio, original, and another that never took off(LA a believe). i dont new cop shows can match these, as they are just mostly copaganda.
SCIF: Stark trek; DS9, TNG, enterprise, voyager.(dont really reccommend movies until you watch the series). Nutrek is just awful except the animated series.
american GODs, sand man, good omens.
the concept of american gods are very similar to other shows like spn, where gods gain power from followers worshipping them,sacrificing them and fade away if they lose followers.
Strange New worlds is NuTrek, and is arguably the best Trek after the OG.
I don’t mean to come off overly snarky, but you don’t think any of the original L&O shows weren’t, do you? Penis Lupus is one of the biggest cop dick riders out there.
Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy vintage SVU/CI, but those were absolutely copaganda. Stabler alone is a poster boy for it with how much shit he gets away with.
Hold the damn phone:
“‘Cowboy bebop’ everybody’s favorite film noir space (neo?)western. Dripping with cool. “
