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?


I felt that Derry Girls gets a little worse with every season, like they took what made the show good and just kept ratcheting it up to its own detriment. Not to say it’s not worthwhile, because it’s an excellent show, but s1 > s2 > s3, which is always a bit of a downer to experience.
