The new Madoff documentary on Netflix is well worth a watch.

It would be a compelling watch in most hands given the story, but they did a great job. Myself and the missus watched all four episodes back to back.

Mind-boggling that the imaginary profits had ballooned from around 7 billion at the beginning of the 2000s to 70 billion by 2008 as the money was flowing into his scheme from all over the world!

Had the government done proper investigations when Harry Markopolos raised the alarm on multiple occasions, so many people could have been saved.

And he and his minions basically ended up being the scapegoats for the entire 2008 financial crisis. None of the rest of the Wall St scumbags saw a day in prison.

Keane making it difficult enough for Tommy Tiernan here.

Roy is a stubborn man and has no intention of giving any personal info, only discusses his professional career really. That hr discussed his first date with the Mrs was the most surprising part

Twas an intriguing  interview all the same.  Few interviewers would ask  the likes of Keane any  questions on family, home life etc.  As much as people want to hear about  his football career , there's probably nothing we haven't heard before.  Even though Keane  kept his cards close to his chest ,  we know a little more about  Keane the man

ONeill

Think he needed to steer Keane away from the football talk.

Watched a load of stuff over Christmas hols....

The Recruit - worth a watch, easy watching.
Jack Ryan latest series - good viewing, though I can't warm to the actor portraying Ryan.
Alice in Borderland S2 - Excellent.
Kaleidoscope - Hiest mini series. Very good.
Vikings of Valhalla - tried this, thought it was poor and gave up after about 4 episodes.
Ted Lasso - just brilliant. Some poor enough acting and cheese, but I love it.

Kings of Valhalla gets better, the acting was a bit poor at the start but improves as does the story.

Watching the Recruit, as you say easy watch

Alice in Borderland 2 was cracking

Not into Jack Ryan 

Will give Kaleidoscope a go

Currently watching a series on prime with James Franco about a Time Machine/time worm hole sorta thing, been grand so far

In general the acting is 100% spot on, it is a comic spoof and the actors carry it off with aplomb.

Three episodes of Kaleidoscope watched so far (Green, yellow, violet). Its excellent. Great story and the random episode order novelty is a really good idea and works well.

Yeah I enjoyed the recruit too.

Treason was dogshit.
