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?
Game of thrones was great for the first like 3 or 4 seasons
Hannibal
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Toast of London
Parade (the hbo one about aristocracy and stuff, very melancholy and beautiful)
As someone who hasn’t watched GoT, I was put off from watching it because I heard how bad the last season (or two?) was. I do hear the first seasons are good, but is it worth watching if I have to either stop mid-way and cliffhanger myself or watch the bad seasons? Both seem like crappy options.
Seasons 5 and 6 of GoT are great too, the last couple episodes of 6 are the best in the show imo
I couldn’t remember when they ran out of books tbh i just remember the show really kicking ass until they did run out
