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?
Eh, at the end of season 1 there’s a huge twist that nearly everyone loves. You should finish the season.
It’s also why I STOPPED watching the show, but I’m very much in the minority.
Is the twist that they are actually in hell? Cuz I guessed that about halfway through the first episode when every single character was an insufferable ass. Which coincidentally is also why I stopped watching. Very American humour I think, it felt similar to Parks and Rec, another one which everyone seems to love that I bounced off hard.
Spoiler
I think so. I saw a spoiler online where the mayor guy says something along the lines of “is this the bad place?” But even knowing that… I guess I just didn’t enjoy ride enough to make it to that point? Ok, so they’re in the bad place… Now what? File a grievance? Maybe there’s no good or bad place and they’re all in purgatory? Idk. Maybe the humor just didn’t hit.
