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 personally would recommend not trying to take on Bojack’s emotional damage under the influence of drugs (unless you’re trying to get sober and need a kick in the pants I suppose).

      Definitely, if the abuse is happening you shouldn’t reinforce it.

      More specifically, I’m taking about episodes like Free Churro, death of sarrah lynn, the one before the last one, etc… emotional trauma under influence is guaranteed

        Between their brutal depiction of substance abuse and the potential for a “bad trip spiral” upon hitting the emotionally heavy scenes/episodes, it could work as a personal wakeup call I suppose.
