Watched a right bit recently.

Criminal S2 - Very good this time around enjoyed all 4

The Startup - Fairly enjoyable mayor that mixes tech with gangsters in Miami quite slick but enjoyable

The Americans - Really good as well think it's been mentioned here before but worth a prime binge
Umbrella Academy - Slick comic book show but very enjoyable and quite fast paced I liked it as well

Any new recommendations? Been flicking through the streaming platforms the last week without anything particularly standing out!


Main Street

Take a walk on the wild side, Fargo S4  with Chris Rock, 3 episodes in so far.  Jelly and ice cream.

I enjoyed it.
That Man City striker on loan, looked a bit like our very own Robbie Keane.

One thing that I found interesting at the time it happened was how quickly he was convicted and sentenced from the time of the crime.  It happened in August 2018 and I think he was sentenced in November of that year too.  Alot of speculation now as to what changed him, from steroids to those weight loss patches that he wore all the time.

I actually watched it last night and intended mentioning today here, without wanting to give too much away to those that haven't seen it yet but I found the last couple of minutes incredibly chilling.

Two other true crime documentaries that, in my opinion, warrant watching for their surrealness are The Staircase and The Jinx.

I was recently telling my kids about Lost and then it appeared on Amazon.
So I've been re-watching it with my teenage kids. They're hooked. It's still confusing as feck even on the second watch, but I have to say, I still enjoy it.
Just trying not to think about how it ends.
