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?
The second season of the Leftovers might be the best season of television ever made. It’s almost a reboot of the show in a new setting with only a few returning characters with a fascinating blend of hope, despair, grief, joy, and some weird supernatural elements. The show managed to reinvent itself while staying the same and I don’t know why it works but it really, really does.
You’ve got me so looking forward to watching more
