Thought flaked was pretty good too. But fewer lol moments and more just you really get into the characters - there are very funny moments, some painful, but all fairly relatable, which is compelling.

And yeah, wow London is hot.

Caught up on a few Netflix series:

Narcos - thought it was incredible and wish they had stretched the S1 material into 2-3 seasons

Master of None - I agree with whomever said the final two episodes took a strange turn in terms of format from the first eight, though I liked the entire series. I am not familiar with his standup and am now interested to see it. I though the Indian actor episode was the best of the group

1971

Documentary on a group of activists that broke into a small FBI office and exposed illegal activities leading to the first ever congressional hearings on the intelligence community in the US.


Very interesting story that I knew nothing about.

The documentary director and a journalist shared research materials. The journalist reported on the story at the time of the break in (the burglars sent her the first batch of FBI files) and wrote a book that came out a couple of years ago after tracking down those involved. I thought it was excellent:

The Burglary: The Discovery of J. Edgar Hoover's Secret FBI [amazon.com]

Great recommendation. It's pretty wild how they are all so unassuming yet have the mental and physical game to make it through. The founder was pretty funny...one of the first ultra guys and now i imagine he has bacon with every meal and chain smokes all day long.

Couple decent documentaries I watched this week:

Inspired to Ride: about the Trans-America cycling race. Really interesting as it follows about 40 people attempting to bike across the country, with the fastest ones covering 250+ miles a day and only sleeping a few hours. This was very good.

Crafting A Nation: Spanning several cities, focuses on a number of small craft breweries trying to get off the ground. Few household name breweries though mostly smaller regional players.

I listened to an interview of (I guess) the director. A lot of the people in the film were just randoms, their part was unscripted and he was shocked at a lot of people's reactions.

ya it was very similar to borat.
real unscripted interactions with randos intertwined with scripted vignettes.

based on a bestselling book apparently and I'm def gonna get the book as I read a few excerpts that were LOL funny.

Agree. Not sure how you can extend this past two seasons unless they take a different story line after next season. IIRC he didn't live long after the break.
