@Bones I kept thinking about giving up, but by 4 or 5 eps in I decided I had to finish to see what was gonna happen...then, I kept thinking about giving up, but by the end I decided I was no more clued up than I was half way through

Currently watching The Serpent on BBC and BBC iPlayer. 8 ep series about Charles Sobhraj a French thief, fraudster and serial killer who preyed on Western tourists on the SE Asia hippy trail, throughout the early 70s.
Quite gripping and beautifully shot. Also has Lord Percy and Capt Darling from Blackadder (well Tim McInnerny).

@scribe yeah we've finished it - pretty astonishing and really well done series, but so frustrating to watch eh. I remember reading a book about him many years ago and it's surprising he's not more infamous.
For some reason I have a (seemingly false) memory that he operated a fair bit in "higher circles" targeting wealthy women, so I'll have to see if I can find the book again to check.

@scribe i had spotted that and added to my watch list.
Just finished No Mans Land, pretty good series, has James Purefoy.
Has some subtitles, about a French guy whose sister was killed in Egypt but he think he has seen her in a conflict zone on a news report so goes hunting for her and ends up in Syria.
Also follows 3 Brits who commit to ISIS in Syria.

The Stand - mini-series on Stephen King's novel.
Pretty good and some of the characters are better than the 1994 version with Gary Sinese, it doesn't quite have the sense of impending doom that series had.
3.5/5

Mike Judge's Tales from the Tour Bus is one of the best things I've seen in years. All those country music boys were degenerate motherfuckers.
Extremely entertaining and well edited. Recommended.
Where did you watch this Tim, sounds great

Hearing good things about Bridgerton on Netflix anyone watching yet!?
-
@R-L watched it, it was good, worth it if your ok with those period kind of shows
-
@Kiwiwomble I haven't even watched Downton Abbey but I'm all for trying something new.
-
@R-L where as Downton is probably more true to history, Bridgerton is more idealized, everything is bright, modern songs played by tradition instruments and a minor plot point is the inclusion of people of colour into throughout all levels of society, was very enjoyable
-
@R-L wife loved it, I didnt watch it.
-
@taniwharugby there's boobs
-
@Kiwiwomble yeah I did spot some every now and then when I was in the lounge while she was watching...I dont think it is something I will now watch without Mrs TR.
I'll survive not seeing those ones

I am a killer
Awesome show, very interesting. Each episode is an interview with a killer inside an American prison. Fascinating to see them now, footage of them interviewed when younger, victims family being interviewed etc. Obviously loads of them have found God and seem pretty philosophical and reflective on what they've done. Also none of them seem irredeemably bad, quite a few seem pretty normal but often victims of a really shit set of circumstances.
I nailed FIVE episodes in a row, not ideal the night before my first day back at work haha !

Had to get it from a torrent, as no NZ streaming services had it.

Are you an accountant? That statement whilst completely accurate is no help at all.
