Watched the Manhunt series about the Unabomber. It was decent, but the 1st half of the series is filled w/ the stereotypical idiot people in charge not believing the guy who is on the right trail.

White Gold. It's a Netflix original with 2 of the guys from Inbetweeners.

Only 2 eps in so far but pretty funny.

About door to door salesman in the 80's.

idk how long they've been out, but I've watched Ozarks and atypical recently and thought both were solid.

I enjoyed this. The lead is a classic narcissist which makes for good entertainment.

Rocco is available here so I will probably watch it at some point.

just wanted to add my up vote for American Vandal. Iv been home with pneumonia the last week slowly going crazy. Watched an ep or two of this here and there when I could, and for what it is, it's so well done. The main suspect and eye witness are both cast and played to perfection, and along with the support players n everything else it becomes so much more than just dick jokes.
That being said, the digital re enactment on the pier is one of the funniest things Iv seen on telly in a long while and had me laughing/crying through a cracked rib way more than it perhaps should have

the pier scene was easily the best scene on the entire show, and one of the funniest in any show. The nonchalance about it was phenomenal

While watching that scene in my mind I was thinking of the scene from the JFK movie where they analyze the Zapruder film "back and the left..... back and to the left."

I didn't hate Fractured or anything, but it wasn't good.

The Bad Batch 6/10

Societies unwanted are sent to Texas which is fenced off, to fend for themselves. Definitely strange, and very slow at times. Keanu Reaves & Khal Drogo are in it.

Highly recommend the Stretch and Bobbito documentary. Two regular dudes (1 white, 1 Puerto Rican) started a college radio hip hop show in the Tristate area in the early 90s and ended up debuting a good chunk of the biggest names in hip hop history. If you like hip hop just a little you need to see this because they truly helped shape the industry. They're also really funny guys who get incredible interviews from huge names. Some of the old footage they dig up is pretty incredible.

The main guy is guilty AF. I get that some of the evidence is questionable, but there's a mountain of it.

Yea I feel bad about the younger guy that has a low IQ and basically just got railroaded. Not supposed to get out of jail for like 30 years or something like that. Can't see what can possibly go wrong when he's 60 or whatever with no skills or family and told "See ya!" when they open the gates.

One thing that annoyed me about the show is they didn't talk about how the main guy soaked a cat in gasoline and threw it on a fire for ****s and giggles. I had to read about that online after I watched.

And Diego Luna, Giovanni Ribisi, Jim Carrey.

Only a 3/10 for me though. Nothing made any sense and its a bad sign when Keanu has the best acting in a movie.

+1 for Stretch and Bobbito doc. They also recently launched their own NPR podcast for anyone interested.

I was sceptical because of this for like the 1st 10 minutes but damn it's a great show.

Highly recommend.

Same here, it's pretty rare for me and the gf to agree on anything. Superbly plotted.

I'd watch this but then I only ever use the aforementioned gf's account I'm afraid
