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?

    If you like the show the books are even better, season 1 is great but they made one change to the story that sort of ruptured it’s integrity though. Book Envoys are Protectorate super soldier/officers, their reputation is legendary. Because of the tech you would have no idea somebody is an envoy but they are so powerful they are prohibited from most jobs which drives most of them to go into crime.

    Every compunction about violence or coercion removed, photographic total recall and limitless/Sherlock Holmes style data gathering and mystery solving. Capable of toppling governments or sparking revolutions. No sleeve madness, they’re scary dudes.
