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?

    Stargate, the last chance to use the original showrunners just burned, Oh well.

    Anime, I’m a boring Cowboy Bebop person. Have I really been listening to the OST for 20 years?

    Gaiman: Pretty obviously a POS , hard to reconcile, he made some art.

    Pratchett: I actually miss him, of all the worlds, in many of the places, I remember your loss the keenest.

    Turtles all the way down.

      I listen Kevin Smith and Marc Benardins podcast, Marc as a writer was a legit gaiman fan especially for sandman. and when the news broke I think a piece of his soul died with him

        Sandman was the art I recognized, read it, take it upon you. The Lucifer show is derivative, and fun, highly recommend.

      im pretty disappointed amazon dint want to renew the series, after hinting at its revival, im not really surprised though, for stargate. the execs wanted a 'broadER audience" , WHAT im assuming its inclusivity that doesnt help the plot of any shows. stargate is trying to avoid that.

      and the showrunners/writers in the past after sgu ended said the show would not survive the current “climate” of things, aka PC things,etc.
