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 never hear anyone mention Undone and it’s messing me up.
It’s a story about a woman that tries to bring her dad back from the dead. They used rotoscopy for the series to make the psychosis elements fit in better with the rest of the aesthetic. It looks amazing, the acting is phenomenal, and the story is neat and self-contained.
It was created by Kate Purdy and Raphael Bob-Waksberg, and it’s easily as good as BoJack Horseman in my opinion.
Good show. Fun concept. Stars Bob Odenkirk. Just go watch it.
You wonder at first whether it would have been better as live action instead of animated, but it becomes clear why they went with animated.
