Personally I gave up watching as it was demoralizing to go so deeply into the sheer dumbness of some people
Despite my apparent ‘leftyness” where I should be standing up for the ‘disadvantaged’ I found myself despairing for humanity that as a species we haven’t managed to evolve such feralness out of societyFor their shoddy treatment they are feral
Though ironically it appears through his time in jail Avery has improved. He seemed capable of understanding the lawyer talk and generally came across as educated.
The rest of the extended family however.. -

Despite my apparent ‘leftyness” where I should be standing up for the ‘disadvantaged’ I found myself despairing for humanity that as a species we haven’t managed to evolve such feralness out of societyActually I'd say that attitude perfectly sums up modern leftyism, a patronising disdain for the white working class.
The doco is certainly slanted in favour of the Averys but of the footage what makes you see these people as ferals? I see a working class family who have had it pretty tough for a long time and remain close as a loving family. Rough around the edges sure, but I don't see the alcohol, drug abuse, unemployment, family violence and refusal to take responsibility that I'd associate with folk I'd actually call feral.
It's a bit of a bug bear of mine having come from very humble beginnings myself.

Fair call, my post probably didn’t reflect the manner of my thought.
It wasn’t meant as a criticism of the people but of a society that hasn’t managed to ‘lift’ them out of a fairly basic existence and how I found that demoralising. -
Start-Up Season 3 is up.
Four episodes in. Great.

@mikethesnow huh, go figure - I thought that was an Amazon original, but seems not. I assume that means I should source it by alternative means?

Finished Norsemen & The Purge
Norsemen had some funny shit in it, also some silly stuff, but overall good series, initially thought it was going to be a parody of Vikings but I think they kinda veered away from that a little. I liked Freya, and Orm is a crack up, such a loser!
The Purge, expected this to be crap going in, but I enjoyed it, wasnt enough of everyones favorite Amish skank in it though.

Better or worse than Vikings? I haven't decided if it is worth starting. Vikings has Katheryn Winnick.
I've started watching S4 of Blindspot. Neuw Zeeland gets a mention in Ep2.

@bovidae it's different...is not serious, as I said, initially I thought it was going to be a parody, but ended up being different.
Sure there are similarities in that there are Vikings, but isnt really comparable, Six 30 min eps in each of the 2 series.
The Last Kingdom is due to start again in a couple of weeks.
-
@taniwharugby I'm three eps in and like it for the parody aspect parts ... I'll see how the rest of it goes then.
@Bovidae Sadly, there's no one of Katheryn Winnick's quality.
-
anyone watching the latest series of Man in the High Castle?
I'm 3 eps in and struggling a bit.

I have it ready to go but the last series was so long ago that I need to watch the last episode from then as a refresher.
