I thought it was awful. Loved the books but this wasn't great.

He was the worst of the 3, a really nasty piece of work. He was a an archetypal alt right type, albeit dressed up as a gamer nerd.
Fuentes is just a bit of an idiot. One who is no doubt engaging to a lot of people and certainly dangerous but he's politically and intellectually lightweight and his rhetoric is classic easy answers to complex issues stuff. It's that last part that probably makes him especially dangerous. 'Bearded Alaska' was quite an intriguing character. His background was very much in, relatively speaking, liberal media and he was undoubtedly a smart guy when it came to producing content and getting it seen. His comments after the New Zealand attacks suggested there was an element of humanity there and of the 3 he was the one who's claim that it was all just 'a bit of a laugh' rang most true. That's in no way excusing his words or actions, again turning extreme right rhetoric into a joke or dressing it up as irony is exceptionally dangerous.
I thought Theroux was far more direct in his questioning and criticism than usual. It's usually his playing naive shtick that gets the most from people. I think he learned from his experience with the nutters of the Westboro Baptist Church though, there were a few people who joined that group after seeing his original documentary and there was some criticism that he enabled the legitimisation of their views. He left the viewers in no dount this time about just how dangerous and extreme the new, social media savvy, irony bro, neo nazi types are.
Just finished Peacemaker, it's probably my favourite TV show in the last couple of years, it's amazing
Just watched yellowjackets and really enjoyed it, it reminds me a wee bit of Lost TV series and the movie Alive, it's also about a plane crash and a girls soccer team that have to survive in the remote wilderness, jumps back and forward from the 90's to present day starring Juliet Lewis and Christina Ricci.
It has supernatural elements to it, it's dark, has some good funny moments in it, decent enough storyline
Both me and my girlfriend watched the series ‘Revenge’ independently of each other and have started rewatching it together.
It will probably be a bit on the camp side for many folk but it’s nice, easy watching.
Watched the 1st episode of di Stefano last night, looking forward to the next 2
So much good telly these days it kind of comes as a shock to find a real stinker on Netflix, but Inventing Anna :dunno:
Wooden acting, crap dialogue, just plain boring.
Money Heist, was brilliant but the latest series is just ridiculous.
Just watched the first season of Top Boy.
Pretty decent.
New series of Killing Eve available from tonight
Peaky Blinders back last night. Didn't dissapoint.
Archive 81 , Four episodes in , This is superb :top marks:aok:
Surprised no one has mentioned Emergency that was on channel 4 all this week. I’ve just finished watching, it really makes you appreciate how amazing the NHS is. Really hope they do an update or spin off series to follow Frazer, what an absolutely amazing young man. As a mum of a 17 year old boy who loves his football, I can absolutely say my son would not have coped half as well as him.
Pieces of her on netflix started tonight. Karen Slaughter the writer.
