This is a different documentary to the one I watched on a plane recently about the same festival right - about the horrible 90s misogyny and how the performers whipped it up with predictable results etc?

Looks to be a different docuseries to the 2021 'Woodstock 99: Peace, Love and Rage' that you prob refer to. 

This appears to be a 3 parter...

The HBO documentary. Truly frightening stuff. Over indulged white kids eh?

Kim-centric episode of BCS next, then? 

[Punksnotdead]

As an ex-brummie, I've been almost exclusively watching the Commonwealth games for the last 10 days. I know it's not the pinnacle of sport, like the Olympics, but I've really enjoyed it (especially Scottish success). Particularly the great sportsmanship - it really has been the friendly games. Makes such a change from the usual sporting rivalries & hatred.

Bit gutted it's nearly over but I suppose I can now watch some of the stuff I've recorded on my tivo box.

[kalifire]

I'm not a fan of fantasy epics generally, so I'm not quite sure why I'm enjoying The Sandman as much as I am.

Holy craparonny, the latest BCS fucking DELIVERS.

yep excellent episode, agony to wait another 7 days to see how it pans out

[FloorFiller]

What a brilliant but depressing episode of BCS. Once again, seems like @kalifire may have been right about Kim being responsible for Gene’s downfall. Doesn’t seem like it’s heading for a happy ending, and Christ was everything about Kim’s current life drab as fuck. 

Also wasn’t expecting another Jesse appearance, and certainly not one from Emilio from the very first episode of BB. Love the little touches like that that these shows have absolutely excelled in. Can’t believe we’ve only got one episode left.

Kim on the bus. 

Fucking hell. 

[stuie]

It’s just pure brilliance. I can’t wait for next week but I also don’t want it to end! 

The reflection of Saul’s advert in Gene’s glasses when he realises he’s done. Genius. The cinematography of this season has been so special. I don’t think they’ll top the Howard ending and the candle flicker in the final episode though!

Finally watched the third season of the Boys, absolutely awesome! Even more gruesome/darker than the last.

I am becoming a closeted/tongue in cheek Homelander fan I have to say. The family storylines didn't really get me though (Butcher, MM...) but I liked the Frenchie/Kimiko stuff though!

Edited to say the Maeve/Homelander fight was awesome. You never  really felt Maeve could take him on but yes!

Yeah, I agree it was all very 'father figure' heavy. Basically every main character had their dad to blame for how shitty they were. Seemed a bit over the top.

Which is why I liked it when Homelander was so nice to his son - it was like he was breaking the mould of all the others.

Also, the fights were awesome, esp in Herogasm and the last episodes, with such comically dark humour thrown in.

Forgot to mention, that I'm moving onto Ozark season 4 now!

It's worth watching Ozark S4  but they should have made it shorter.

Almost finished with The bear (really good). Started Our flag means death.

For more light half hour entertainment, am following Only Murders in the building. Not much time for TV watching, the downside of nice long summery days. 

 

[philipsteak]

Only Murders is ace. 

I could watch Martin Short for ever. Makes me laugh so much. Him and Steve Martin should only ever work with each other. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Watched the Kim episode and the diner episode of The Sandman one after another.

Holy smokes - what a double bill.

[gary1979666]

Dammit - haven't got wifi at home yet so can't watch these yet!

I've said it before but For All Mankind is an incredible TV show, it's probably the best show currently on TV. If you can get Apple TV+ then do it just to watch this amazing show. I feel myself nearly crying in nearly every episode in season 3.

Yes it's brilliant although I didn't think season 3 was quite as good as 1 & 2. 

[gazzared]

Currently watching Westworld as I've never seen it. Season 1 brilliant, season 2 good but not as good, halfway through season 3 and it seems to be shite so not sure if I should cut my losses and sack it off ?

I disagree, I think season 3 is on par with season 1 if not better. It’s so good.

I also have this weird attachment to Joel Kinnaman.

That was one of the things that bugged me the most, eds a great character but 

Spoiler alert 

 

Ed knows Danny is off his face so he can't go on the drilling mission but let's him monitor the pressure gauges with nick

It just seemed really stupid but apart from that it was still very good.

I enjoyed it tbh, but then I knew what I was getting.

It was beautiful to look at, featured some great tunes, used innovative ways of showing socials and represented culture and history to a global audience (but importantly including the states) that they simply haven't seen before.

So many films and shows that have had the temerity to feature a female or non white character you can go on imdb and see page after page of whinging 1 star reviews. 

 **** those guys 😊

I enjoyed the first 2 episodes but then it just ran out of steam for me until the last episode....so maybe shite is harsh but I found it a slog to finish
