right after this urgent rest
We were going to start on that one, but something happened and I never got around to it. So I’m also wondering if it’s worth investing time into.I hear Osark is good, but I have no idea what it is about.

I’m not finding S2 of Russian Doll as enjoyable as the first. Not terrible but nowhere near as good imo.
Same here. Didn't enjoy it as much as Season 1.
I was listening to TIS (not watching) as a sleep aid so switched tapped out quite early (drifting in and out and not really following clearly after the first meeting). I'll have to give it a proper go.Three Identical Strangers.
Our Father.
Watched these two docs over the past few days. Both involve re-united siblings who didn’t know about each. Both reveal more sinister forces at play as they unfold. Both are fascinating.
Yes. Just watched and it made me utterly furious. And how is it still not a law in every state? I wonder if it’s illegal here?Three Identical Strangers.

Although, concerning Our Father, Lucy Mangan’s review is spot on:
It’s an undeniably gripping story. But Our Father is content merely to tell it – to wring every ounce of shock value without adding anything of greater value. It is stuffed with superficial testimonies from traumatised mothers and children. These are, by their very nature, repetitive, which quickly leads to diminishing returns, and does their suffering a disservice. It gives too little space to the unresponsiveness of the district attorney’s office – alerted by Jacoba early on – and the extraordinary fact that it was impossible to prosecute Cline over what he did to the women because none of that amounted to a crime under the then-current law.
Yes. Just watched and it made me utterly furious. And how is it still not a law in every state? I wonder if it’s illegal here?
Fucking power trip. Absolutely sexual, getting off on their unknowing compliance. And with him knowing about the autoimmune heritability… Rotten, foul man.

I realise it's been on there for a long while, but I've only just got into Mindhunter. About the start of the FBI's serial killer psychological profiling. Which sounds mind-numbingly dull, but manages to be really quite interesting.
It's not the sort of thing I'd usually watch. The mrs is well into her cop/FBI stuff and had just started this. I walked by the screen, looked at it, and thought "Fuck me, that looks expensive!". It just so happens that it's also quite interesting. (And it was apparently quite expensive. It looks it.)

Just seen this clip from Ricky Gervais's new stand up show (which I probably won't watch):
This neatly captures why I think Gervais went off the rails and became a bit of a reactionary prick. At best his misunderstands the critiques of his humour and at worst misrepresents them. Everyone gets that this style of humour that utilises 'ironic' sexism - and racism, ableism and the like - is meant to be 'ironic'. The thing about 'ironic' bigotry - as well as being lazy, uncreative and boring - is that there's no clear line of demarcation between it and actual bigotry. It can easily be interpreted as bigotry, felt as bigotry and used as a cover for actual bigotry, whether it's ironic or not. Many comedians used to do this style, but most moved on. Gervais chose to get defensive instead of reevaluating. This is partly because of his ego and partly because he's a pretty lousy stand up.
Rant over.
We’ve watched the first four episodes of The Lincoln Lawyer, and it is actually very watchable once you get through the first episode. Not a vintage television series for the ages by any means, but still fairly enjoyable fodder, in particular if you are in need of things to watch. Thoroughly recommended as a void-filling TV trope.
It over 10 years old, but just hit Netflix.
I dint think it ever claimed to be representative, I think the film maker was quite clear in what the film was about.It's pretty appalling.
And brutal.
It also not as representative of Irish Travellers as it claims. There are some feuding families but not all are fighting.
Must get around to starting this oneOzark Season 1 finished. On to Season 2 tomorrow.
Started Lincoln Lawyer.
Lead Mickey Halle reminds me of Jim Rockford.
I have only watched the first 15 mins. Love that he takes the lettuce out of his sandwich.
Could be good.
