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?

    Severance is amazing and worth watching multiple times.

    The Walking Dead through the end of season 6

    Futurama

    Ted Lasso

    The Good Place

    3rd Rock From The Sun

    Band of Brothers

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars (don’t let the trailers fool you— it starts kinda slow but it’s an adult storyline and is phenomenal from like middle of Season 1 on. The last four episodes are iconic for me. You can skip the movie.)

    Long Way Round (sequel Long Way Down is excellent also)

    The IT Crowd

    Marvel’s The Punisher

    Chapelle’s Show

    Haunting of Hill House / Haunting of Bly Manor

    Fringe

    The Expanse

    Simpsons through season 7

      Finally, I was scrolling to see if anyone else mentioned Fringe. I need to rewatch it sometime, I haven’t seen it in probably a decade or so and I still remember it was one of the first shows that made me realize what really good TV actually is (I was in my early teens at the time).
