Netflix: The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann

The critics are pretty bad, but since i'm a crime documentaries junkie I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. I just finished the first episode (first of eight) and am feeling like it was 20 mins worth of contents, in a 60 mins episode.

Did some of you watch the whole thing and actually found it interesting ?

I have not watched it but I hate shows where they don't catch the guy at the end. An example is the show disappeared ID TV, its always still an open case at the end. That sucks.

I like to see how they caught them, why and how he did it and what sentence he got.

I did watch that but Robert Stack made it worthwhile.

The last few episodes of Better Things have been pretty good. Its generally a pretty decent show. The kids are all weird but that is standard.

FXX pushed the show pretty hard during Youre the Worst but I havent gotten around to it even though I really enjoy the lead actress. Will have to add it to my "watch soon" list

I've only seen small bits and pieces, but the fat guy at the end of the T20 Solos episode last week had an incredible tone.

If I'm only going to watch/listen to a few people, who should I be paying attention to?

Im just through auditions, the fat guy who has the stomach surgery and almost died and sang the Sam Smith song had an incredible voice.

After Life is one of the best recent shows. Very dark, very funny and with a lot of heart.

Watched two episodes of "huge in france" and i like parts of it, but it still feels like a waste of time. Does it get better?

JFC the commercials on AMC on the web or app are ridiculous.

Just watched S1 for the first time last month as well. It's just fantastic. Al is a GOAT-level character.

Any recommendations for Knightfall on the History Channel? Is it as good as Vikings?

Lucky. Honestly, it probably is just as good or better on rewatch because the dialog is A+ but complicated. It's my #2 GOAT behind The Wire.
