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’ll add something different to this thread and say Father Ted. It’s to this day the most hilarious show I’ve ever seen.
It’s about a priest that was assigned/exiled to a parish that houses some outcast priests on what must be the most depressing and ugly island to ever exist. It’s sitcom style, but with such a dry and outrageous sense of humor it’s really nothing like anything else.
Down with this sort of thing!
Careful now!
Mind how you go!
