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?

Check out Westworld.

Stop at the end of the first season and you have seen perfection

    Do you get a satisfactory ending at the end on season 1?

    Yes. It is a complete arc.

    S2 was chiefly made up of rejected s1 material, 3 and 4 tried to build a convoluted mess of futher storytelling.

    They're watchable...but if they'd stopped at s1 they would have a perfect, devastating arc.
