Halfway through "The Keepers" on Netflix. 7 part doco that has a "Making a Murdered" feel about it. Well worth it so far.
Based on the unsolved murders of a nun and another woman in 1969 and the cover up and lies by the police and the Catholic church to protect paedophiles.

I saw that coming from a fair way out.

I watch very little TV. Designated Survivor is one of the better shows I've seen in recent years. Watched all of the 1st series.Culprit wrote:Don't know if it's been mentioned. "Designated Survivor". I am up to Episode 6 and it's pretty good. Netflix or Download off a Torrent.
On SBS, there is a 10 part series called Abandoned. The BEST show I've seen in many a long year. Highest recommendations

So tonight after dinner I faked a headache, as another night of pokies and breathing in smoke smog will just about do me in! my throat is burning so is the inside of my nose! So I left them to it, anyway, I'm watching telly finally! Me and the other missus spent 5 hours at the outlets today after touring the pawn shop and Vegas speedway, so I'm buggered anyway!stui magpie wrote:^
You've gotta watch some american TV while you're there.
The ads are a hoot.
I swear one channel is devoted to Trump news! And a lot seems to rely on his twitter account!
I get what you mean about the ads!! I'm watching true crime stuff! Might switch to criminal investigation SUV, its more real!

Goodonya.
The pawn shop is a 5 minute tour, it's small.
The north premium outlets aren't bad but you can get cheaper stuff at the big shopping centre up near Treasure Island. Macey's sell Levis cheaper than the factory outlet.
You done fremont St at night yet?

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Hmmmmm, I gave up after about 4 episodes. Thinking I should give it another try. I was watching it week to week as it was aired. Maybe better as a binge?Mountains Magpie wrote:I watch very little TV.

After hearing the title "The Handmaid's Tale" and also seeing vision of their costumes I immediately dismissed it as I just don't do period dramas. On Tuesday I came across an article describing what it was actually about. How wrong I was!
And I was hooked.
Watched the first 3 episodes that night, and smashed out the final 7 last night (or into early this morning really. "Just one more before bed." "Just one more". Who else does that???) This morning mandy was NOT happy with last night mandy staying up so late on a school night!
So well worth it though. As brilliant as it is horrific. Very hard to watch sometimes but always compelling. Cannot wait for season 2.
Hard to explain what it's about. Google it. You won't be disappointed.
SBS on demand dropped the whole first season today. Get on it.
