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?
My wife and I are just finishing up an immediate rewatch of Yellowjackets and it's damn good. Think Lord of the Flies but more modern and with a highly-competitive high school girls' soccer team instead of prep school boys (although their coach and another coach's sons are there too), and you also get to see how the experience shapes them after the fact.
Some characters you don't expect to like end up being great, and the acting is fantastic throughout. The pacing for seasons 2-3 isn't quite as tight as the first season but it's still really good, hoping the last season holds up too when it comes out.
