My wife is watching this and I’ve peaked at it a few times and it looks good if you like documentaries.
I actually posted a story about this on here. Its about a girl from the Ukraine adopted with a condition that makes her appear like she is still a child. The family thought she was 6 bit turned out she was older.. much older. So they dumped her ass in an apartment.
She swears she was a kid when it happened but every now and then someone pops up like “that girl is a fucking scammer”
Who to believe?
This shit wild af.

I also think she has issues, but they should have been prepared to deal with those issues. Those adopted parents were nuts and never should have a been allowed to adopt.

Long story short, they have/had an idea of where to start looking into who really did it, but also, Wayne Williams is incapable of answering questions "Yes/No" so he's stuck being the only culprit.
It's good, I feel like it should be great and I'm not sure what is missing story wise. Maybe it's the constraints of Bass having been a real person. Oyelowo is great, so is Barry Pepper, Lauren Banks, etc.. And Sheridan didn't do his usual over heaping of misery on his characters. I mean there's plenty of conflict and fucked up things but he showed restraint in a good way. Still felt slightly lacking.. but good haha

A Murder at the End of the World - The biggest gamble with big mysteries is whether the Big Reveal pays off. As we watched this, the little lady's interest would come & go. I was pretty solidly into it. So when the Big Reveal happens, we kinda flipped. She ended up liking it a bit more than I did. I was fine with the ending but it didnn't knock me out. It didn't make me feel like I wasted my time but it wasn't anything that I expected.
Fool Me Once - Man, this one throws about 700 different things at you, right out the box. I had absolutely no idea where this was gonna end up. And when the ending finally hits, I was like "Oh Come On!!!"

18. "About halfway through Gen V after finally finishing The Boys" In response to Reply # 0
Even tho it's a spinoff, Gen V might be a better show, simply because there are more female main characters which keeps the content from veering too far into that middle school white guy humor that's so prominent in The Boys.
19. "Little Brother doc on YouTube " In response to Reply # 0
I’m sick of TV shows. There’s way too many of them, there’s nothing new that can be done, and nothing will ever touch Breaking Bad or The Wire again anyway.
I’m all reruns and Docs at this point, and the LB doc is great, and it blows my mind that I learned about their music on here back in 02 and am watching their Doc on YouTube in 2024.

met someone who was part of the production set. She could not say the specific name of the show and actors involved, but did divulge a little. Turns out it was True Detective.
Maybe some of it was filmed in Alaska, but I believe the majority was filmed in Iceland.
27. "Past Lives (2023) is a masterpiece" In response to Reply # 0
It's a romantic film that is weirdly wholesome and profound. Rated PG-13. At least half of it is in Korean, despite mostly taking place in NYC. Also a directorial debut for Celine Song--who is a 30 something playwright. I don't like knowing about the plots of movies, so I won't get into it. But if you get the chance to see this, then do it. It's like 5 dollars to stream.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

I'm a pretty big fan of Narcos.. at least the first 3 seasons, and Griselda Blanco is one of the most interesting crime figures ever, but this felt like a swing and a miss.
With Escobar they managed to make him a fascinating character to watch while recognizing what an absolute monster he was. The Chapo series did the same thing, this felt a little too sympathetic (for lack of a better word). Like she did some shit but they also seemed to want to hammer home how hard it was to be a girl-boss single mom in a male dominated business, and feeling bad about some of the things she had to do to achieve that. The way the real Griselda did that was to be a cold blooded certified monster.. so much that she terrified the other monsters. They tried to have it both ways here, and it doesn't really work imo
Pacing was also clunky as hell
but everyone else seems to like it so what do I know lol

not nearly as good as Season 1. I still powered through. It wasn’t terrible, just didn’t live up to my expectations after the first season. Looks like it’s been green-lit for Season 3.

I was very much a Nickelodeon kid in the 90's and even though this focused on the stars that came about right as I was aging out of the network, it was still crazy to watch.

74. "The Orange Years: The Nickelodeon Story <- watching again to offset the" In response to Reply # 0 Mon Mar-25-24 07:29 PM by SuiteLady
sad Quiet On The Set doc. This one represents my Nickelodeon years. The other doc starts around The Amanda Show years and I was on Disney then (Kim Possible and Jet Jackson, you know?). But "You Can't Do That on Television," "Pete & Pete," "Double Dare," "Guts," "Legends of the Hidden Temple" and "Dude Ranch" were my prime Nick years. I watched a little bit of "All That" before Amanda came around. I honestly didn't like her. I watched a bit of "Keenan & Kel" and the "Good Burger" movie was my "Friday" lol.
I am sorry to hear that stuff happened in that other doc. I didn't watch those shows though. I was grown by the time the main issue in the other doc was occurring. I hope the kids of my years had better experiences.

Really, really strong followup from the creators of Game of Thrones.
I worry that it might be getting a bit of a bad rap because people who've read the books are so obsessive about it (my own post in PTP is notably over the top).
But it really is an exceptional story, a friends drama that turns into a mystery thriller that turns into probably the weirdest (but also one of the most realistic) science fiction stories you've ever seen.
The first few episodes lag a bit, but episodes 5-8 are dynamite! If they get the money for season 2 (which is sadly not a sure thing quite yet) it'll get even better, with some mind-blowing philosophy and the biggest and wildest space battle ever put to screen.

We're only 3 episodes in but already, I'm not sure of the right way to discuss this show. It's been so bananas so far but in a really sad and frightening way.
