Unfortunately the bit I caught was the train leaving Auckland through Hamilton so probably the dullest part of New Zealand's scenery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipsteak Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Well The Good Place finale was pretty satisfying I thought. Finished off everyone's stories nicely.

bunique Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I also had a little cry at Good Place though was glad to see it end. Sex Education was absolutely brilliant again, looking forward to a third series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 The last season of Bojack Horseman is out. I’m glad they didn’t do the obvious way of ending the series. Despite it going towards stupid humour every now and then it still is the best dark humour show out there, and there handling of mental health issues is brilliant.

Got round to seeing this now. Very interesting. I knew the story and what happened but it did delve in a bit more and the survivors stories were good. Such a grim and intriguing set of events event. Will record it now to MP3 so I can use parts in various music mixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye - can be very interesting with certain "dark" types of music, even the juxtaposition to "happy" types of music.

dondo Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Anyone watching The Stranger on Netflix- we're 3 episodes in and really enjoying it. 2nd series of You is OK but I'm not enjoying it as much as the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Curb Your Enthusiasm is so good I might be a bit behind given I've only just seen the very first 4 episodes (if not the feature length special). Got some catching up to do.

Despite it going towards stupid humour every now and then it still is the best dark humour show out there, and there handling of mental health issues is brilliant. There was always that mix in Bojack tbf of having some light and silly humour, some very darker humour, and some more dramatic touches. Was always a consistently good package though. Final series does at least continue that trend. 24 minutes ago, dondo said: 2nd series of You is OK but I'm not enjoying it as much as the 1st.

I know the Jim Jones story well and this had me transfixed. The recordings of him are quite harrowing. On the Psychic TV 'Themes' 1982 album it starts with a looped sound of what I took to be some kind of jungle animal. Years later I discovered it's the weird high pitched chuckle of Jim Jones. I've seen the BBC and other documentaries about him. A real horror story about what people can get away with under the guise of religion.
