That virus is just engulfing this planet.
Re Tiger King....... there is no doubt Joe Exotic is a severely unbalanced individual....... but Carol Baskin and partner are bad news as well. Couple oā dodgy bastards.

2016 Scottish Cup win aside, itās like following Hibs being a Sunderland fan. Can relate to their grief. Good series, enjoyed it.

Re: Netflix recommendations during quarantine
Shameless has been a fav of mine for quite some time. You really have to have an open mind though. It will make you laugh, make you cry, make you horny, make you completely turned off; but, the writing and acting are brilliant. William H Macy is the best!

No 9, Is season 3 any good?
I enjoyed Ozark for the first season and a half, but Iām struggling to finish Season 2. Too many of the best characters are getting killed off and the ones left are getting annoying. Is it worthwhile pursuing ? What a hard business this lockdown is.

I'm enjoying it Tang, I'm on episode 4. It will never be as good as the first season, but I love the plot and the acting is pretty good.tangfastic wrote: āThu Apr 09, 2020 4:30 pmNo 9, Is season 3 any good?

Re: Netflix recommendations during quarantine
It says season 1 so unless they bring in new characters for season 2 I would say 1 season only.

Re: Netflix recommendations during quarantine
I was a bit late in watching STID (part 1 was out a long time ago), but Iām hooked. Really well-made documentary. So much so that you can get really behind another club, even if you donāt like them. Nearly at the end of season 2 and fans are heading to Wembley for the play-off final against Charlton. Full of expectation..... but we all know how it ends.
I have to say it also adds in an interesting perspective from the ownerās point of view. Deadline day when they paid way over the odds for Grigg literally at the last minute shows the craziness and desperation that can grip these people. Great documentary.

Just finished watching Waco on Netflix. It probably means more to me than most since I've lived in Texas more than 20 years. However, the extremes in religion and law enforcement are both hard to conceive. Several British citizens were members of the Branch Davidians, surprisingly.

Thanks. I think thatāll be my next one.
I also enjoyed Dont f*ck with Cats and The Confession Killer .... if real-life murder documentaries are your thing. America seems to leading the way with crazy, f*cked up people.

If you do watch the staircase, let me know your opinion on guilty/non guilty. Iām 100% one way on this but Iāll not say until later.tangfastic wrote: āTue Apr 28, 2020 11:16 amThanks. I think thatāll be my next one.

That whole thing pissed me off when it happened. Not real sure why they had to go in, personally.number 9 wrote: āSun Apr 26, 2020 4:54 pmJust finished watching Waco on Netflix.

Marko, you said the Staircase was good? I watched the Oasis show and liked it a lot. I would also recommend Veronica, it was pretty good.

I thought the staircase was very good indeed. Had me gripped from the start. Worth it IMO.
The oasis doc is brilliant.
Will seek out Veronica...... add to list.

DISCLAIMER ALERT
I did think Mike Peterson was not guilty, but an episode and a half in I was convinced he was guilty. . The wounds on his wifeās head didnāt really look like she just slipped down some stairs and then when it was revealed that Mike was bisexual and was having some fun with male prostitutes - that really tore apart the picture of a blissful marriage. I thought things would unravel more and more and darker secrets would emerge.
But over the course of the trial you see how pathetic, corrupt and shoddy the prosecution were. Some of those āexpertsā were taken apart by the defence. And that female deputy DA was evil - i couldnt believe she was allowed to make her summation to the jury the way she did. Focusing mainly on Mikeās bum-banditry, rather than proving he killed his wife.
Basically, the burden is on the prosecution to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt - but they came across as unprofessional and corrupt. At that stage, Peterson should have been acquitted, even though Iām not 100% he was innocent.
Canāt say Candace came across well - one very bitter, obsessed woman. I think if Mike hadnāt been playing around outside his marriage - especially with other men - she would have been on his side. I canāt believe she was allowed to speak in a courtroom the way she did. Very prejudicial.
And the ending when he had to do a deal was nothing to do with justice, but just to spare the reputation of the judicial system and so he and his family could finally get some peace.
