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 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…
Ru suggesting each subsequent punch isn’t raising the stakes?!
Media has to meet people where they are I’m afraid. Also as awards shows become increasingly popularized it becomes even harder to find original art. All the moreso for series.
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…
