Funnily enough I  just watched Abducted yesterday evening (after hearing Bob Mortimer talk about it of all things) and it's one of the weirdest and most horrible stories I've ever heard. The way the mother looks weirdly excited while talking about her affair with your man is deeply odd. I'm officially done with Netflix and their pushing of true crime on everyone now though. Please stop.

What Netflix do need to do more of though is Russian Doll. I absolutely loved it.

Have to say I'm really not enjoying the True Detective series at all. First few episodes were great but it really hasn't held my interest.

Yeah the new series of TD is dragging on a bit alright.

Yeah TD has had a very slow mid season but if the end of this week's episode is anything to go by then it may fully unfold over the last episodes.

True Detective is slow but gonna stick with it. Stephen Dorff I find is really good in it.

Started Russian Doll. Very good. More of that please.
Berlin Station. Solid spy drama. On to the 3rd season and it's all very good.

The Defiant Ones episode 3 starting now on BBC4. The first two were riveting.

All kinds of epicness!

Finished True Detective. Just alright. Dorff was class in it the rest was a bit meh.
Umbrella academy. Watched 3 episodes. Just another boring superhero shite.
Russian Doll was good.
Must go back to The Expanse. Watched season 1 and it was good but I've heard season 2 and season 3 are way better. Any opinions people on season 2 & 3.

I thought S2 was an improvement on S1 but wasn't mad about S3. That's probably in part due to what really feels like ages between seasons. It's not the easiest show to settle back into again. Ideally I'd have waited til the whole thing was done and blitzed it.

Cool. Might wait till season 4 is out and blitz it all then.

the ending of true detective was a serious let down. all that build up for nothing really.

Have to say I enjoyed True Detective a lot, though it took a couple of eps to get into. Ali played a blinder to portray 3 very different characters as one coherent individual. By the last few episodes, the play between the timelines flowed so seamlessly, and the meta critique about narrative and memory was ambitious but nicely, though maybe not perfectly, executed. Mood was great throughout, but especially in final three eps. As for the ending, for me it was the best of the three series so far.

I watched the first part of Leaving Neverland. Grim. Is the second part more of the same or does it go somewhere else?

i watched both parts last night, its pretty much the same.

I think I'll leave it so.  The thing I find strange is that MJ must have had an entire entourage around him who knew what was going on and appeared to actually assist him by auditioning his victims... sickening.
