Gotta be honest, it passed me by. When it comes to Scandinavian Jazz, I’m least familiar with the Norway scene.

Ive watched the first three eps now, it’s very funny
It really is. I'm so pleased they've managed to keep up the level of comedy.
Anyone watching I, Sniper?....about the Washington sniper murders in 2002.
As true crime series go it's really good. I remember when it was on the news at the time but knew nothing about it. I'm up to part 3 and so far it's more centered around the perps, their motives and the investigation. Much of the story and his history is told by the sniper in phone calls from prison.

Is it a dramatisation ar a regular documentary series?
Documentary. First episode isn't in chronological order but following that it's mostly following the timeline of the shootings.
I've not seen the film, but the score by Blanck Mass is excellent.
An old film, but I'd never seen it before - Drowning by Numbers, by Peter Greenaway.
Showing its age with the amount of gratuitous nudity, BUT I found it absolutely fascinating.
So yeh, would recommend. It's such an interesting film.

The number counting, ritualisation and rules of games struck a strong chord with me. I've done this type of stuff all my life. The arbitrariness of rules fascinate me, and you can draw parallels with societal rules. Who makes them and to what end?
There are scenes that must have taken half a day to set up, there's so much detail in them. You never usually see such 'full up/fully dressed' sets like that. It's so rich that if it were a flavour, there'd be 7 layers to it. I was literally feasting my eyes on these scenes, trying to take in as much as possible.
I loved the colloquial knowledge - the sheep tied up with bells to measure the tide times
Also, the fireworks at the end go on for an impossible length of time

Is so vanilla
Servant of the People has just dropped.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, back when he was a comedian/actor, played a teacher whose rant about political corruption gets videod and goes viral and he ends up president. Then life imitated art.

This feature-length documentary on Alex Ferguson is fantastic. It's very much framed around his upbringing, and is a fascinating study of people management.
Have you finished watching it yet? I finished it off last night, and it was quite touching.

IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
Binged it in one go. I thought it was great.
Loved the straight lad/gay lad friendship where they are just totally accepting of each other.
Both leads were great eh?
I thought this started off really well but rapidly turned a bit generic. I watched all of it though because I was invested by then.
Same here- enjoyed episode 1 and about to watch episode 2 in a while.

Indeed - really enjoying it.

Another one for undeclared war. It's a bit weak in places but ultimately pretty gripping and plausible.

Into the infinite two minutes (or something).
Japanese sci fi comedy. Nice short film, very enjoyable.
Looks like they did it all in one shot, but the can't have done. I don't know how they did it.
Fun for the whole family.
