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?
Sticking just with HBO, check out The Wire, The Leftovers, Band of Brothers and Six Feet Under.
Also highly recommend The West Wing, Fringe, Psych, Supernatural and Fargo (esp season 5.)
Have many more to suggest but this is a good start.
J J Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, and Robert Orci are creative geniuses. Fringe is a very worthwhile way to spend 150 hours.
they were bad for star trek, turned into opposite of old trek, and had alot of bad writing/acting comes with it. the animated trek however was enjoyable.
I completely agree with you. Kurtzman especially. I can’t stomach any of the overwrought tripe any of those 3 churn out.
