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 Good Place. Season one is just to set it up, please stick with it through at least S2. The ending makes me cry every time I watch it
As a non religious person, I wrote this show off for years. I recently watched it and it was amazing. Can't recommend it enough.
Same. The advertising didn't do it justice, so I ignored it as some Christian-adjacent pandering. I was very incorrect about that.
For anyone who doesn't know, it's an intelligent, witty, creative comedy about moral philosophy and friendship. There's an absolutely hilarious episode dedicated to The Trolley Problem. If that sounds interesting to you, then I think you'll love this show.
I love the lady who's stuck in purgatory and everything there is just meh
Shes also in Workaholics, does a great job in that show too
My gf and I like to say that, based on the premise, The Good Place had absolutely no right being as amazing as it was. Phenomenal.
It is the only show that I know that managed to hold its quality up all through the end. It's amazing
Watched over and over again about 15+ times. Still gets me.
keep it sleazy 👉👉
You got to say it!?
Shame I could only upvote you once. Rewatched it three times already, I think it's time for a fourth. It's really, really good
One of the most thoughtful, educational, and funny shows. I rewatched it a few times and it was great every time.
I made it... Almost through season 1? I don't remember how far. There were clever bits, but it just didn't grip me. I hate to invest that much time into something that people keep recommending just to make it to the end and... Yeah.
That and severance. It took so long to get started that I fell off that too. People say it's great though.
Avatar:TLA was great and so was Arcaine and Blue Eye Samurai though!
Eh, at the end of season 1 there's a huge twist that nearly everyone loves. You should finish the season.
It's also why I STOPPED watching the show, but I'm very much in the minority.
