I’ve watched shows, movies, read comics or listened to podcasts where there is a lot of build up around a mystery, only for the end to be lackluster. In these the journey itself was more riveting than where we ended up. What are some instances where the answer lived up to the hype?

The man from earth (2007). Low budget but a great movie, particularly if you know nothing about it beforehand.

And whatever you do, don’t watch the sequel. It’s quality is the exact opposite of the first movie.

Yeah, I made that mistake. I just pretend the sequel doesn’t exist.
