John Douglas? Mindhunter was one of my favourite books. Found it absolutely fascinating when I first read it.
Yep. Great read. He's written two books and the Jack Crawford part in Silence of the Lambs is based on on him.

Just finished S1-3 of Stranger Things. Was a mix of Alien, IT, The Tommyknockers, Red Dawn and Cold War paranoia done with panache and humour - bloody loved it.
Recommendations for similar shows welcomed...

Yeah - I've read all of his books - even the delve into fiction that he did!

It’s good but it’s not quite Strike Back levels of slaughtering ethnics and fucking any chick that casts a sideways glance at the main characters though .
I miss Strike Back

well no, they are very different shows. Strike Back is way better (god bless Cinemax) but i was entertained, and, watched a show with my wife to the end. Probably because 8 episodes isn't a big stretch.
Probably start The Boys tonight. It even had a big fucking ad at the movies the other day, they certainly aren't skipping the marketing

oh, and @antipodean i am half way through the new Last Chance U season. Fuuuuuuck it's a tough watch. Jason is such a giant douche!

I was hoping for a replacement for Strike back though , Tom Clancy always had a massive body count of ethnics commies and libtards in his books . Still good though .

I'd like to recommend the best survival show I have ever seen.
It is called "Alone"It is real, no faking.
I have only watched Season 2 so far.10 people with survival training (varying levels) are sent out into the wilderness.
They can bring 10 items each.
Last one to crack wins half a million US dollars.They bring such things as fishing nets, a tarpaulin, and an axe.
The season I watched was on Northern Vancouver Island - black bears, wolves and cougars.They are all totally alone and are supplied batteries dropped off at their medical check-up to film themselves, in some cases, slowly falling apart until they tap out.
Fascinating viewing. -
@Rembrandt said in TV Serieseseses:
Finished Stranger Things 3 after a rewatch of the first 2 seasons. Enjoyed it, I wonder if a 4th season might be a bridge too far though.
I finished this too, enjoyable still, but a step down on S2.
I reckon S1 would be 9/10, S2 would be 8/10 and this one a solid 7/10.
Dunno if S4 is on the offering, reckon they would be best leaving it here.
Loved the Neverending story sing alongs...so good, especially the first one in the context of what was going on around Hawkins

Yeah that's about how I'd rate them though on re-watch I thought S2 was better than the first time I saw it. It's a really good mix of humour, horror and nostalgia. I think it's too popular not to do a 4th season and who knows they do have good writers they still might surprise
