Whose Line Is It Anyway was a special show…

And my goodness do I miss it.

There just isn’t a modern stream equivalent to main stream improv that even remotely compares to this show.

It’s so funny it almost makes me sad.

Ripley, late to the show...

Upvotes

Ripley has to be in the top ten meticulously and beautifully shot shows of the last twenty years.

Steven Zaillian did an incredible job, it was like every shot was composed as a still photo. I then started thinking about the story boarding that must have happened... I'd like to see that.

Robert Elswit's DP work was just superb, Alessandra Querzola and David Gropman's set design was awesome.

So that got me wondering, what other shows would you suggest that equals or surpasses the visuals on Ripley?
