must-see
Unmissable, they say
Must-see describes something considered so remarkable or important that it demands attention—typically entertainment, tourist destinations, or cultural experiences.
As a noun, a must-see is something you shouldn't miss: The Grand Canyon is a must-see if you're in Arizona.
As an adjective, it characterizes things that come highly recommended: a must-see documentary about climate change.
The term appears frequently in travel writing and entertainment reviews, though its overuse has diluted its impact.
