worked it out now!
I turned Tiger King off after 2/3 of first episode then people get suggesting I watch it so I went back & it was by episode 2 there started to be more of a story. It’s a lot to take in, fascinating because it’s real. I watched the interview episode this morning too.

One part of the show I particularly liked were Ferry's clothes. He's got some cracking outfits

Watching ‘Dead To Me’ - just what I needed. Reminds me of ‘Big Little Lies’.

Massive in Spain and indeed overseas. I watched all but the last episode of S1, and thoroughly enjoying it so far.
The missus doesn’t speak Spanish and has limited patience for subtitles attention-wise, so I’ve been watching it by myself, which limits the available window to catch up on it. Also, like most other excellent but slow-paced series, I need to be in the right frame of mind to put it on. Very similar to the likes of Better Call Saul, which I bloody love but haven't got round to start watching S5 yet.

There's a "making of" type documentary after the final episode of series 4. I was actually surprised to learn that it was actually a flop in Spain after the first series and only took off there after it got picked up by Netflix and became popular internationally. Then it rocketed in Spain and the cast achieved pop star fame getting chased down streets and mobbed at events

Money Heist is on my list.
I'm enjoying 'Explained' - bite-sized documentaries (15-20 mins each). Ideal if, like me, you want something informative, don't have much time to watch telly because of everyone else floating around the house and not all that much patience for long stuff anyway. Fills in gaps nicely.

Watched all three seasons of Ozark over the last couple of weeks. What was a good series for the first two seasons finally becomes a great one in the third. The last few episodes were incredibly tense. It was a good move to shift the attention from Jason Bateman to Laura Linney, one if the best American actresses working. The way she shifts back and forth from beacon of the community and loving mother to being absolutely ruthless is fantastic. Having a female anti-hero steering the plot also distinguishes this from the many male led anti-hero led series.
The main plot line of season 3, where Wendy‘s volatile younger brother returns to cause trouble, strongly reminded me of Linney‘s best film (and a favourite film of mine) You Can Count On Me. That was the break out film for Mark Ruffalo in the brother-role but "Not Keanu Reeves" here was very good too.

So you throw an abusive paddy at other posters for Ozark spoilers and then post this, which contains at least two far bigger ones.
I think an apology is in order.

Sunderland til I die.
Documentary about the struggling Sunderland football club. There's two series and you don't need to be a Sunderland fan to enjoy it. In fact, Sunderland fans might find it too tense to watch. I found it really engaging

It's all good, man
Yes on son's recommendation I watched nearly all of Tiger King and to say it was surprising doesn't really cover it.I was really struggling to find one likeable individual in the whole saga.(Maybe the keeper that lost an arm in the tiger's cage and was apparently unphased)?
There were not too many details given regarding Joe Exotic's trial but such indications as were given suggest that justice may have miscarried somewhat!
Saul Goodman
It's all good, man
I'm sure he was guilty of offing tigers but I reckon he was well and truly stitched up for the rest.
There were some proper nasty individuals involved in that, but who would have thunk that people who keep tigers in cages could possibly be nasty.
Could be wrong but I thought they were suggesting that the offing tigers thing and the Conspiracy to murder thing formed part of the same indictment ??and then there was the entrapment thing and the informers as prosecution witnesses things on top of that?But otherwise its hard to have much sympathy with the fellow I quite agree.
Saul Goodman
It's all good, man
They lumped all the charges together to make sure they stuck. I mean if he's capable of offing tigers, then he's surely capable of everything else, right?
I doubt he was guilty of the conspiracy thing, although I'm sure he probably said "yeah, let's fucking do it", but I strongly doubt he's guilty of being very bright, and definitely guilty of being a gullible fuckwit... but guilty or not, he was definitely stitched up.

It's the furthest thing from cricket imaginable. The prosecuter even said they didn't have enough evidence to convict him, that's why they lumped it in with the tiger culling, because anyone that can kill a tiger is surely capable of anything.
I actually felt sorry for the guy, despite his obvious flaws.

Did you notice how his hissy fit about a non-spoiler garnered lots of support, while your criticism of his actual multiple spoilers didn't?

I misunderstood something, it wasn't a spoiler and I do apologise. However, it's never wrong to call Saul Goodman a cunt as far as I'm concerned.

Binged the entire two series of Shtisel over the past couple of days. There better be a third series and they better put it on Netflix because it was a wholly unsatisfying ending otherwise.

Not really pertinent to the thread but I wanted to put this somewhere where there are people who know about films.
Lockdown Saturday...9.50am....I've just put on an old episode of ITVs Marple to find that this episode - Nemesis - is directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.
I'm not quite sure what to expect from dear old Miss Marple!

I'd like a recommendation please Urbles, I'm looking for a film, visually beautiful, something like the LOTR or Harry Potter films, a plot would be good and preferably something without gunshots, screaming, blood, gore, train crashes, screaming, blood, car crashes, aeroplane crashes or guns.
