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?
Chernobyl is great, but if you look into it’s basically retelling russian propaganda that this was individuals fault rather than a matter of when not if tragedy.
Anyways best shows:
Comedies:
It's too bad the didn't make a second season of Altered Carbon, nope, no second season at all.
Did you watch the show? They make the opposite point the entire time. They’re a few individuals standing up to the system that failed due to complete obfuscation. A few individuals get punished at the end, but that was the system also failing by trying to make it individuals’ fault instead of the systemic failure. It was all about how the system was broken, and the people who exposed it were punished, due to the same failures of the system.
Seriously, I don’t know how OP can miss that.
“How does an rbmk reactor fail? Lies…”
Some people see Russian propaganda everywhere.
It was so critical of the system to boot! With propaganda like Chernobyl, who needs journalism?
Recently rewatched it, still holds up. It's kind of funny that David Ellison was an executive producer on that show.
I didnt have that take away at all from Cherno., almost the entire second half is lambasting the idiocy of the soviet government in cutting corners and defenestrating debbie downers
Yes, it makes it sound like it was scientists against an idiotic government and that the scientists didn’t have any hand in it, when in fact they did.
There is a great video about it on youtube but there is no way I can find it.
Scientists had a hand and a voice in it, they were just ignored.
