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?


Did some light research The Power of Nightmares sounds positively brilliant The Trap sounds like it might run contrary to my own personal philosophy which is basically Rutger Bregman’s Humankind, which is to say people are usually good (there’s more to it of course but that’s the gist)
The Trap has a title card and description on Wikipedia that appear to be far more cynical?
