It's had a massive slap for being compleatly inaccurate. It should not be presented as a serious scientific documentary study because it ignores actual inconvenient facts (for the theories he is trying to present) from actual archaeologists and scientists. Basically it's a load of sensationalised cherry picked pseudo-scientific bollocks.
. . .but anyone who is aware of Graham Hancocks work should already be aware of this.

He neither claims to be an archaeologist or a scientists. He also claims that these are his theories and he's open to the fact he may wrong. I found his theories in these series quite plausible actually and certain very interesting for the most part. As much as we would like to think we do, there's a lot more to human history than we think we know.

In fact he claims to be proud of this fact. Actual Archaeologists and scientists have totally shot down his 'theories' (Not theory in the scientific meaning of the word in this case).
He has been told they are totally wrong and why they are wrong but chose to ignore this information in his shows and books. . . doesn't sell books I guess.
From watching only the bits he chooses to present I suppose that's possible. . . but they aren't.
Which is why he does this and ignores the bits that show it's all bollocks.
Quite possibly but Graham Hancock isn't helping to uncover any more of it.

You mean like the archaeologists of America who refused to substantiate their claims against him, or the ones in The Guardian who called the show "Full of racism" or the list of archaeologist that have so far refused or declined the chance to debate his theories in a live all expenses paid debate (because he's is open to debate his findings, while they are not) or the people that wanted the show banned because "it is the most dangerous on Netflix"
Jog on!
Jog on!

Exasperated, not angry.

According to an archaeologist friend, 'This is what happens when a child reads von Daniken before learning science and critical thinking'.

You what? I didn't hear about any of those actually. He has been doing this for years in his articles and books etc long before this recent neflix nonsense. He is called out every time. He never checks in with the actual facts if they get in the way of the story he is trying to sell. Or rather he does check, he just omits anything that fucks up the validity of his claims. . . which is generally quite a lot.
You have obviously gone all in on it, so I doubt there is any chance you'll bother checking for yourself.

I bloody loved Chariots of the Gods and was so disappointed when told it was all absolute bollocks.
I might watch this thing. It sounds like fun.

Is so vanilla
Haven't seen it yet, it's on my 'to watch' list. It's got Omar Sy in it, the French comedian who also starred in Lupin. He's very good.

right after this urgent rest
I know I’ve watched that one, but can’t remember a single thing about it! I’d better rewatch the end of season 1 before I dive into the new one.Alice in Borderland is back!

The following psytrance is baṉned: All
Just watched it. It definitely loses momentum after the first reveal, with a lot of backfilling to do to get back up to speed. And the characters were all a lot of fun, but not as tightly interwoven as the knives out set. But knives out was some sort of miracle of tight plotting. A very high bar to be measured against and no shame in coming in under it. Laugh out loud funny in places. Good fun.
Been watching Top Boy Summerhouse, its quite something. Have watched four episdoes tonight. Gonna continue watching tomorrow.

not the only raver in the village
And the follow up shows, confusingly just called Top Boy are also on
Top Boy Summerhouse was originally called Top Boy.
Then they decided to make the sequel series and call it Top Boy. As it was a continuation I've no idea why it couldn't just have the same name.

Think it was because the first were on C4 and netfllix wanted to make it clear which they had produced. Just adds confusion though.

Saw Glass Onion.
Much better than Knives Out
Gloriously designed, with better targets and more laughs - even the set design is funny.

Saw the first episode of Wednesday, and though I enjoyed it, i doubt I have time to watch 7 more of the same. It looks great though.

So much for boycotting and/ or disliking anything I give a firm recommendation for

Your opinion on the series is clearly of so little importance to me that I forget what you have recommended.So much for boycotting and/ or disliking anything I give a firm recommendation for

That not only doesn’t make much sense, but also proves that contrary to your claims you do like some of the same stuff I do. And you can also include Glass Onion, incidentally.
It seems to me you should stop lying to yourself and abandon yourself to my film and TV recommendations

Not really. I just don’t rate anyone’s recommendations much, just enjoying mocking yours. I also don't remember what a stranger said on the internet when I’m looking for something to watch.That not only doesn’t make much sense, but also proves that contrary to your claims you do like some of the same stuff I do. And you can also include Glass Onion, incidentally.
