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?

    I wrote out a whole list for you then I accidentally deleted it. I was very proud of that list. Here’s a few:

    • Widows Bay
    • Our Flag Means Death
    • Ted Lasso
    • The Good Place
    • Watchmen (show not movie)
    • Halt and Catch Fire
    • Silo
    • Man in the High Castle
    • Tokyo Vice
    • What We Do In The Shadows

    Apple TV has a lot of really exceptional Sci-Fi if that’s your thing.

    AND FINALLY. The weirdest most indescribable show of all time that will not make sense it is somehow a must watch for me:

    Raised by Wolves

    Most people won’t like that one. It is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s a sci-fi show by Ridley Scott’s company and it feels like the plot was written by a Norwegian Death Metal band.

    Androids raise children during the time of a religious war. One Android gives birth to a flying snake. A lady becomes a tree. A sea monster puts a baby into its chest cavity.

    EDIT:

    I get asked about recommendations a lot so after writing this, I decided to make a list. It’s not finished, I’ll add more over the next few days.
