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 never hear anyone mention Undone and it's messing me up.
It's a story about a woman that tries to bring her dad back from the dead. They used rotoscopy for the series to make the psychosis elements fit in better with the rest of the aesthetic. It looks amazing, the acting is phenomenal, and the story is neat and self-contained.
It was created by Kate Purdy and Raphael Bob-Waksberg, and it's easily as good as BoJack Horseman in my opinion.
For one you likely haven't heard of before: Infinity Train.
Best to go in blind with no spoilers. I wish I could watch it for the first time again.
Always sunny in Philadelphia, Black books, The In-betweeners, Green Wing, Children's Hospital on adult swim, IT Crowd, Reno 911, Louie, The twilight zone... I have so many.
I don't see it on here anywhere and I wouldn't exactly feel like rewatching it, but as an art piece the White Lotus season 1 and 2 are some of the most emotionally affective things I've ever seen
call me simple i do like csi:miami. not a big fan of the others though
Midnight Mass is up there for me, but particularly because I really enjoy the themes present. I thought it was even better than Haunting of Hill House (which is phenomenal). But I have a friend who fucking hated it and refused to finish it, so uh, your mileage may vary lol.
Also, I don't know if I would call it "cinema", but Taskmaster is probably the funniest shit I've ever seen consistently across 20+ series and I hope it never fucking ends.
