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?

    It’s old-ish and maybe not the greatest work of art on screen, but I love that it had a very unique world and characters and humour and it keeps on developing and changing throughout.

    It’s been too long. I really kind of want to watch it again.

      I “discovered” this show, watched it, forgot about it, discovered it again, and rewatched it.

      Terrific show. Might want to watch it again, hmm.

      This was a wild show. I found out about it like a year ago and binged the whole thing, and I couldn’t understand how I hadn’t heard about it sooner, having watched basically every decent sci-fi ever made. It’s definitely like a fever trip at times but it’s so creative and unique that it’s absolutely worth watching (and rewatching)

        It’s so insane Tim Curry as an unhinged AI comes off as the straight man. I fucking love it.
