Watched half of dont f@ck with cats last night - mental scary stuff. Pretty well done.

Have started watching the Hernandez doc. A few of the interviewees are a bit too keen to be on camera and are thoroughly enjoying the infamy I think. A lot of lines from people are too well practiced.

For anyone interested in the case, I suggest you look up the 6 part Gladiator podcast on it. Was brilliant listening.

Father & son Sansoucie were two pricks. The da in particular.

Those were specifically the two I was thinking of, along with Odin Lloyd's semi-pro teammate.

Thought the same. Looked like they thoroughly enjoyed the limelight.

Picard.

Jean Luc is back, don't listen to the critics, they have to write something controversial to appear relevant.

Excellent first episode, did a fine job of reintroducing a character with the depth of Picard, gave enough detail to fill people in on the events of the last two decades and introduced new characters with just enough depth to give you a slight flavour of their relevance, while still leaving many questions and a little mystery surrounding them all.

From the trailer at the end it looks like it will get even better. Really looking forward to the next episode, unfortunately we have to wait a week, very 1990s.

Engage.

Time:The Kalief Browder Story

Came across this docuseries on Netflix the other night and watched all episodes in three nights. Incredible story of a 16 year black kid from the Bronx who spent 3 years in Rikers Island most of it in solitary confinement without ever coming to trial for a crime he probably didn't commit...

The treatment he got was incredible and that it could happen in modern day In any civilized country is jawdropping.

Watched 2nd series of You on Netflix, thought it was better than the first. It's nonsense like, but I like it.

Hopefully, in the extended timeline he got to fire phasers into your woman Vash.

An article about him, well worth a watch.

Born mucky, life on the farm on Quest. Interesting look at 3 farmers in England.  The size of  their fields and using drones to develop  pesticide stratagies.

Now he was a complete tool

Ray Donovan cancelled, would have thought it would have been popular enough. Really enjoyed it.

Serious! I'm only about 4 into the latest series. Might not bother if there isn't gonna be a proper conclusion.

I had read weeks ago that the next season would be the last, raging.  One of the few shows I have watched from the start weekly, and the latest season was brilliant.  Flipping raging!!!!

Started Armando Iannucci's new show Avenue 5 and I'm 3 episodes in. . . not great I would have to say I don't find it anywhere near as good as his other stuff!
