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?
Eternaut looks cool! Pluribus is so good, but it gets a bad rap for being slow.
I hate how its now a thing that shows can get criticized as “to slow” just because people fucked up their attention span. I was not bored for a single second of that show. Meanwhile Marvel movies might have shit happening every second but god have I been bored during those stake less, CGI fight scenes…
It’s so slow, nothing happens for an entire episode. It disrespects the viewer’s time.
To each his own I guess, but seeing the main character experiencing complex emotions and forming a connection to them as a viewer is not “nothing happening” to me…
