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?


To be fair I’m not sure which Utopia i prefer. The Australian show is amazing workplace comedy
Yes, basically, the office, but in government, but not cheery like parks and rec, more exacerbated and annoyed, like the thick of it, but not angry, like the thick of it. All are great in their own way.
If you work in the Australian government, or one of the state govs (like I do) it’s essential viewing. It should be part of the induction tbh.
