Just watched The Control Room. What a load of absolute *****.
I especially liked the fact there was a phone box in the forest so he could make a call during one of the flashbacks to the 90s.
3 episodes, 90% of which seemed to be the main character acting like droopy the dog.
Just avoid.
Just started watching La Brea, bit of a Lost vibe to it, some pretty ropey acting though.
Saw it pop up on my Sky Box and liked the look of this.Quote:

Natural World-The Super Squirrels on BBC 2 a couple of nights ago This was a repeat but it's well worth a watch , excellent documentary on these brilliant wee things , their agility and intelligence is amazing . It'll still be available on the I-Player I'd imagine
Similar thoughts to Keep Breathing on Netflix. Spun as a survival series after a plane crash but ends up descending into a never ending montage of flashbacks as the main protagonist makes peace with her upbringing and parents….last two episodes were absolutely brutal.Quote:

I enjoyed it, especially using real events from the 1980s which I remembered.
I just finished the Woodstock 99 documentary on Netflix. It was really good, it was a flashback to a great era for music with some of the bad from that era summed up in one festival. I can't believe how bad they wrecked the place :hilarious
The sandman!!!!
Just watched the first episode. Oh yeah!!
Here's hoping they've actually given some thought to the ending this time! :greengrinQuote:

I just finished watching it too. I've always found it really distasteful that Limp Bizkit bore a lot of the blame for what happened at Woodstock and the documentary puts a lot of that blame where it belongs - on the organisers. A total ****show of a festival and I'm truly surprised criminal charges were never brought against the organisers for negligence and a lack of actual preparedness.Quote:

Better Call Saul, does it again, one left to go, what a show it's been

Scotland at Birmingham 2022 on BBC1 Scotland 🥇🥈🥉
Just started watching Anatomy of a scandal on Netflix. Very good story and acting, especially Sienna Miller.
I watched the Woodstock 99 documentary and it was a car crash. The whole thing was doomed to fail from the beginning.
Firstly every attempt to recreate Woodstock has failed to live up to the original. The original was a moment in time. 99 was arguably the worst though. If the original Woodstock was a gathering of idealistic hippies promoting peace and love then 99 was a collection of the worst kind of faux hard man nu metal dickheads and rapey frat boys. The whole 'let's be really misogynistic because it's so cool and shocking' was a pretty low point for popular culture. Secondly the organisers took this collection of people playing really angry characters, loaded them full of drugs and tried to extort them. How was it ever going to end well?
It ended very well for the promoters. $150 a ticket, endless sponsorship deals in place, cheap to put together, tenuous security and all those food franchises sold. Must have made a mint.Quote:

It’s a good while back now but on the theme of the Woodstock documentary, if no one has seen Fyre on Netflix I’d urge you to watch it.
An absolute disaster of a supposed luxury festival gone completely tits up.
That was hilarious. Social media influencers absolutely rinsed.Quote:

I think there is actually 2 different documentaries about it but the most well known is on Netflix.
This is brilliant. I have tried to ration it to one a week but I have already watched the first 6. Such a great adaptation and great casting too. Netflix has to commission more of these, these 10 shows cover the first 2 volumes so lots to play with still.Quote:

We are the same in rationing it to Friday night to make it last.Quote:
