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?

The creator behind Scavenger's Reign, Joe Bennett, has animated for the FXX series Cake, and he also created Adult Swim's Common Side Effects, as well as soon to be on Netflix Dealies which is based on one of his Cake shorts.

Everything he does is excellent, even his illustrations for Joe Pera's bathroom book "A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing but Using the Bathroom as an Escape" are wonderful.

Also the artistic inspiration for Scavenger's Reign is french graphic novelist Jean Henri Gaston Giraud, also known as Mœbius, if you're looking for similar artwork.

There's also a video game that uses a very Moebius style that's unrelated to all this, it's called Sable and its a lot of fun.

Amazing info. I loved scavengers reign and just started common side effects, but haven't put the names together as the same creator. Both are mind bending shows, so more from the same creator is a great get.

Loved every minute of Scavengers Reign, still hoping they will make another series of it.

Thanks for the info about Moebius, love this kind of artstyle!
