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 like a baby between fringe and soviet spy drama. A fantastic show
I guess one that I expected to see here is Sons of Anarchy. I thought it was great. I'm a little disappointed, but not surprised, that I don't see either Letterkenny or Shoresy on here right now.
sg1, sga, maybe not SGU(sadly amazon cancelled the new series before it was fully conceptualized). more obscure shows like 4400, resident Alien(cancelled after season 4). castlevania the 1st series(2nd one is sucky).
for animes, evangelion(the old and rebuild versions), inuyasha the og series and final act(Yashime is fanfiction and very strange because it has a very groom-ing feature to it sesshomaru ends up marrying rin(whome he raised since childhood). blue gender, full metal alchemist, not BROTHEROOD.
sandman, good omens(sadly these are very short series) because of neil gaiman and netflix being super stingy. same goes with blood of zeus, so much more content than what is shown in 3 seasons, they had to rush the final season. if you can ignore the cheesey props, and some dialogue.
Peep show will always have a special place in my heart 🫶

Before anyone skips over this, consider a show with the charm of Lost, with horror instead of sci-fi, but it feels like a much tighter long-term plan. And justice for Harold Perrineau, who is used pretty damn well in this! From is a really good show.
I am currently making my way down IMBD's list of the top 250 TV shows (by user ratings). They also have a similar list for the best movies.
My personal shout-out goes to Black Mirror.
