Television, drug of the nation

Really? Even that I thought was overly sanitised

Scandal.

No.

Just no.

2 episodes of MaM to go - fuck me, what a story

Up to E6 of MaM, quite like it.
Did anyone watch The Jinx? Similar theme, different perp.
But like a TV version of Serial

Also watched And Then There Was None this weekend, good old Agatha Christie.

Making a Murderer is so good because of the characters. They're beyond fiction in some cases. Kratz especially.

was a brilliant watch, thoroughly depressing though

NOOT NOOT

It's so fast paced as well, each case could be a whole 12 episode season of some other show but it just keeps thundering on. If that's grounds for criticism, then that would also apply to Murder, She Wrote and Columbo, so your logic is obviously faulty.

Also, I can recognise all the locations straight away (apart from where the foot fetishist goes cray fishing in S3).

I think it took me a while to get into it because I kept picking holes in it, then I just got caught up and now I think it's great. Amazing supporting cast body count as well, it's worse than GoT!

I did a masters about East German history and for the first 5 minutes of Deutschland 83 I sat there thinking 'no, no, this is all wrong...'

Then I realised it was fun and that didn't matter.

I'm enjoying Bloodline on Netflix right now.

Is Deutschland 83 worth a watch? Trailers look ok-ish

Yeah it's pretty good, if a little far-fetched in places. Nice nostalgic soundtrack too.

MoaM is pretty intense... #latetotheparty

I can't bring myself to watch the second episode. The first was really interesting, pretty well paced. And they make it clear what's going to happen in the first (broadly), and I'm super interested. But I can't see 9 more hours really being necessary (and I don't want to be bored by a story dragged out that long). I may just read the wiki page.

Just started E03, almost wiki'd it myself...

Into the badlands was kung-fun.

I found the first few drag but it kicks off around E03/4 and after that there isn't a lot of filler.

#willnotwiki #E04

Bit weirded out by the preponderance of pay TV stuff right now. What the fuck happened?

Thank fuck for Leo's Toy Store by Warren Peace.

Is it good? I keep meaning to put it on.

I am really liking it. Maybe I'm just a bit lacking in taste. I like a good 'costume'. I think the lead is really good, the guy playing 'Pierre'. Also Steven Rea good as this machiavellian character in eps 1&2, and Jim Broadbent is fucking great as count somebody or other who just barks at everyone.

I've been trying to purchase the Grant Hart documentary for a while, turns out it's available on PPV YouTube but unwatchable wrt crap streaming... Annoyed...

brian pern is back
as are thotch

well worth a watch

Making a Murderer a real interesting documentary.

No idea if he did it or not, but what scary is how much they weight little (like a confession from Brendan) and smooth talking to convince them.

Would suggest avoiding Sense8, cliched with lack of nuance but would recommend Bloodline (Ben Mendelsohn is particularly good)

Hit or miss I guess, I loved Sense8.
