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?
Yeeees
I’m a Curtis believer after seeing “only” HyperNormalisation and Century of the Self”
Haven’t even heard of most these but have bookmarked your message so i can find the next best to watch, if not attend a view-a-thon
Are the views you have yet to do in order of recommendation/preference??
I only recommend to follow your interests. Reading the blurbs will ruin nothing. I saw the Power of Nighmares, then found out about Century of the Self. HyperNormalisation came out soon after I finished those. I have so many more to see.
This was nearing the end of my “predominantly documentaries” phase of viewing films. I was geographically limited in being able to access them as freely.
Now, I’m piling a lot of information into my head from books. My focus is on Canada’s journey toward Reconciliation, the crime of genocide, and the power structures that facilitate crimes against humanity.
Like, I know I should just read Hannah Arendt, but I havent gotten to her yet.
