TV Series/Netflix/Box Sets

Finished watching Zero Zero Zero last night.

Excellent but not quite as good as Gomarrah in my opinion 9/10
 
Watched a decent 4 part documentary on Netflix, about a Chinese/Canadian student who went missing from the infamous Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.

Decent enough. Really sad story and highlights the damage that "Internet sleuthing" can do.

Definitely worth a watch if you're not familiar with the case.

Edit: it's called "Crime scene: The vanishing at the Cecil Hotel"

Same here - Elisa Lam. It addresses so many social issues and there's loads of food for thought 👍

Yep. When they were hounding that "Morbid" character, I couldn't help but think back to the poor South African lad who killed himself, after being accused of the cat killer in Don't F*ck with cats.

They've pretty much worn him down to an empty shell of his former self. Poor guy.

Yes, the internet stalking and abuse he received went way over the top. Trial without jury - very powerful and scary.

Just finished it this evening, very interesting story with lots of what ifs? But what a sad outcome, those web sleuths are cocks, dont let the facts get in the way of their theories eh! Felt sorry for Mr Morbid, they totally destroyed his life.
 
Anybody watching the new Adam Curtis docs on BBC? Hypnotic viewing as always, even if they are, in parts, a rehashing of his previous material.
 
Watched 1st episode if Behind her eyes on Netflix. The bbc review said it was so bad it was good. I just thought it was really good and very intriguing. Great lead actress. Bit of humping which is always a bit tricky with the tv in the window at 1330 in the afternoon.

Sonny & Cher didn't sing that ;).

Back on topic....

Godless: Superb Western. If you like that sort of thing (usually I don't) this is very good.
Rebellion: 1916 Irish Uprising. No prizes for guessing who wins but a good spin on reality.
Damnation: 1930s Mid-West (Iowa) rural conflicts.

(Note: these shows are all one word titles so I have a better chance of remembering them (y))

Finally got around to starting Deadwood. Six episodes in so far. May go for Godless after that!

Have now done two seasons of Corner Gas and have bought some T-shirts. Will have to wear them when we can next go to see Belfast Giants as they usually have a good few Canucks on the roster.
