I remember that case from Dateline or 20/20 or something. Crazy stuff.

I've been plugging The Staircase on here forever. It's a gem.

whats the (I think German) show about a detective in 1930s Germany?

Solid thread recs on both Bojack and Narcos, loved them both.

Any good true crime docs ala Making a Murderer/ Evil Genius? I like white collar crime stuff as well similar to "smartest guys in the room"

Also I was surprised to learn there is gonna be a season 2 of MaM. Only developments I can see in the case is a bunch of denied appeals

Really really looking forward to Disenchantment in August. Hope it's not a bust.

If you can do subtitles, Shadow of Truth is really, really good. I'm shocked it hasn't been discussed here yet.

Babylon Berlin?

Dirty Money isn't quite the same, but is interesting.
American Vandal is in the same vein as MaM but is fiction.
You might also enjoy Mindhunter.

And I'm sure you saw the Staircase teaser video which is coming in like a week?

Episode 4 of An Hour to Save Your Life was the most intense viewing experience of my entire life. Truly incredible. No need to watch the episodes in order.

Warning: extremely graphic footage of medical care.

Zero interest in watching anything like that.

Staircase looks like it’ll be great!!!!

I'll say it again, if you like true crime shows, THE JINX is as good as it gets. not on netflix but worth a watch.

Yeah I’ve seen basically every true crime doc and Jinx is easily GOAT for me.

It's been mentioned before, but Thin Blue Line is back on Netflix and it's the king of true crime docs.

A couple more great True Crime docs for those of you hungry for more after MaM, Evil Genius, and The Jinx: The Cheshire Murders and Death by Fire.

The Staircase was great, I saw it about 4-5 years ago. I really can't decide if the defendant is guilty or not. It seemed like the main argument of the prosecution was "gee whiz that's a lot of blood, so she must've been murdered."

Unlike The Jinx in which I was like "lol he totally did all those murders obv."

Tried to watch this but the gun shot recreations from the 80's were too annoying, especially the sounds, felt like a Gunsmoke episode.

yup thats the one I was thinking of, thanks

Really enjoyed this, but think it's still solidly behind MaM. Thanks for the rec. Looking forward to staircase coming out this week.

Also sounds like Ozark S2 should be out in either July or August.

REALLY?!!?!? About damn time!!

Sense8 finale is this friday

November 13
Attack On Paris



This is a three-apart Netflix doc on the Paris terrorist attacks of 11/3/15.

The first part is about the bombing attack on the football stadium and the shootings at the various cafes.

The second part is about the attack on Club Bataclan where American band Eagles of Death Metal were playing.

The third part is about the hostage situation at Club Bataclan and how the victims and SWAT team members miraculously survived 2 suicide bombs going off in a narrow hallway as the area where the hostages were was breached by police.

This is mostly an interview program - with survivors, police, firefighters, and politicians including the Mayor of Paris and the then-President of France.

This is absolutely harrowing and heart-breaking, but in the end, a beautiful, life-affirming meditation on humanity and what binds us all together. In an oh-so-French way. The survivors are amazingly profound and dignified. The firefighters and SWAT team leader and other police who all admit they were overwhelmed and scared but proud that they got the job done, are just as moving.

Just spectacular in every way. A+++ Must see.



paris je t'aime

I started The Rain, an 8 episode first season with a post apocalyptic storyline. Cliffs are: A teenage girl and her brother are put into a doomsday bunker by their parents after a deadly virus spreads from thunderstorms/rain pouring down. They stay in the bunker for 5 years and come out to find the world a completely different place.

I'm only an episode in but I dig it. If you like post apocs, this might be a quick watch. It's dubbed in English.

The Rain is better if use subtitles with the native language.
