He first came to prominence playing a transsexual basketball player in “ The world according to Gary”. He’s brilliant in this and the film is an underrated gem with the great Robin Williams and Glenn Close. It’s a very bizarre film but terrific . Garp. Not Gary. It’s a good film but the book it is based on is tremendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCS is a very slow burner which I absolutely love. Great character development with some familiar faces from BB (though a prequal with folk who are a lot older means you need to give them a bit of slack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokyowalnut Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 'Lance' on iPlayer. 2 part documentary on Lance Armstrong. Lots of good interviews.

Tazio Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 It’s finished now but should still be on the (useless) ITVPlayer but Honour this week was very well made hard hitting drama about a young Kurdish girl who was murdered in an honour killing in London. Horrific how it was coldly planned and carried out by her own family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are stand alone seasons with only minor links to each season so you. Can bypass season one if u want . The cast list of actors are outstanding , Kirsten Dunst , Jess Plemons ( Dim lad in breaking bad ) Patrick Wilson , Ewan McGregor David Thewliss ( plays a really creepy villain ) thanks for bringing this show up as it’s starting up again tomorrow , just checked !

Fraggle Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Onto season 4 of Mr. Robot and I am flip-flopping between loving it and hating it. There are moments of just sheer production genius where it's like "wow, that was fantastic film making", then there are times when it's just annoyingly wtf!??? Tried reading some of the theories about the show and what Whiterose's project is, but not sure I buy into it. It does rip off/doth the cap to Fight Club quite a bit. On a different note, looking forward to the 2nd seasons of The Mandalorian and The Boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to give myself more time so I can binge watch without having to wait on a weekly basis per episode. As for the after show thing, as long as it's not as bad as the Talking Dead with that annoying gimp Chris Hardwick then I'll maybe give it a whirl.

The general consensus seemed to be that Netflix’s obsession with serial killer and crime documentaries has crossed the line and become about titillation and trying to shock. I also watched this yesterday and enjoyed it. I think it's correct to say that society is obssessed with murder documentaries and so Netflix like other networks are cashing in on that but I don't see the problem. People arent forced to watch these things and society has always been fascinated by the macabre, technology just means there is much more of it. I don't think the quoted documentary was any worse than others but I suppose some folk struggled with the fact it was almost all from first person perspectives through body cams, Web cams, social media etc. Overall I'd say its a free society of adults who can watch whatever they like within the confines of the law, popularity will dictate what networks promote. But with all due respect to those upset, if you stuck on a documentary that described itself as using first hand accounts of a tragic story of a missing woman and her two kids and the shocking events they unfolded, and are surprised you found it upsetting, quite frankly they shouldn't be allowed to control their own remotes or TV viewing.
