Only just watched the first episode of Tiger King. Bonkers.



It is pretty nuts all right, but riveting stuff. ;D

Talk about a cast of oddballs. Each one dodgier than the last (not talking about the hair styles and clothes!), with deadly vendettas and grudges and conspiracies and all kinds of allegations. All in the world of exploiting and breeding big cats and other exotic animals. Watching it I was wondering why any of them agreed to be in it. No one came out of it looking well, even those who didn't fall foul of the law.

Looking forward to this one have heard it's completely mental I remember the dude on with Louis Theroux at the time and thinking there's way more going on than his interest in big cats!!

Saw that popping up on Netflix last night, might have a gander tonight as I'm losing my patience with Safe.

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Finished it all last night. One of the most captivating shows your ever going to watch. I loved every second of it.

Main Street

 A 90min documentary  now on BBC 2 player,  Michael Jackson - the Paedophile Years,   only kidding,  it's called The Real Michael Jackson,  from the perspective of  former flag wavers, part of the "team Michael", now reviewing their perspectives from  the past decades with MJ. The documentary moves at a relaxed pace, made by a one time confirmed Jakobite.

The end of Love/Hate was brilliant.  Dexter wasn't brilliant but it wasn't bad either, I liked the idea of him where he ended up.  The whole boat into the storm thing was stupid obviously.

Seriously, on a thread where people are recommending shows to watch, you go and give away the ending?! I sometimes wonder about people.

Jeepers Creepers

Is Tiger king that good and will it be something the Mrs will watch?

On another note finished The Outsider which I thought was very good and the new series of Ozark is also good (as i wondering were it could go with a 3rd series).

Its a crazy show which gets crazier each episode.

The Mrs will enjoy it as well

 At the moment I'm enjoying new season of Ozark, Tiger King and Homeland. Better call Saul is not as good as last few. Plus Money Heist, Drive to Survive and Sunderland Till I die to get through.

I watch the first episode of Tiger King last night, and while interesting and wacky I don't get the adulation it has been receiving
- edit I see Taylor has just posted that its improves with each episode so I'll keep going

I watched two Harlan Coben crime dramas on Netflix, The Stranger and Safe, back to back. Both 6 or 8 episodes long and I really enjoyed them. Twists and turns, intertwining story lines, keeps you interested and guessing while you know there's an ending coming not too far away.

Watching Designated Survivor, about 12 or 14 episodes in, which I completely missed first time around. I'm a big fan of pretty much all the White House boxsets. While this isn't in the class of West Wing or House of Cards, it's still good. Kiefer's not brilliant, but most of the rest of the cast is very good.

Ballers final series was meh. I had enjoyed all the previous series

Finished Curb your Enthusiasm Series 10. Brilliant, like all the other series (apart from Series 1). Wife absolutely hates it  ;D

The Stranger and Designated Survivor are absolutely shite. DS could have been written by a 12 year old ffs. I don't think you can group it as a "White House box set" in the same vein as West Wing our even HoC. They're political dramas, whereas DS is paint by numbers action nonsense.

I don't think Tiger King has been met with adulation. More incredulity end disbelief at the whole thing.

Goes downhill rapidly

The Curb season was very good. The Jon Hamm episode was one of the funniest in years.

I agree with the above on Designated Survivor. The concept was excellent and interesting, but once he became the legitimate president, it was more or less done, even before the end of the first season. Then it turned into just another American President series.
