The Crown season 3
I know its all bollocks but the production values and acting and plot-lines are all great. The editing, music and cinematography are very good.
8/10

Nearly at the last episode and agree.Achtung Englander wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 9:32 amThe Crown season 3

Apart from the Aberfan episode I don't think this season is a patch on the previous one though.
Hopefully it'll pick up again when it gets to the Thatcher and Diana eras.

A silly kids cartoon currently on Netflix. It's strangely endearing and fun with the odd bit of humour only adults might get. At only 10 minutes an episode it's an easy watch.

Just watched this... in fact, we were unable to tear ourselves away, watching all three hours of it in one sitting and not getting to bed until 2am.
Gripping, astonishing, shocking viewing.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
I too watched Don't F**k With Cats in one sitting, but there's something that just doesn't sit well with me when it comes to documentaries like this. They just feel so artificial, with a narrative constructed to the point that it almost feels like I'm watching fiction. It's compelling, sure, but I can't bring myself to believe the sequence of events. Perhaps the part of my brain that loves order overrides the part that loves a good story.
And then there's the genuinely problematic part of these documentaries, that this one at least pays lip service to:

Started watching this under the illusion that it was a mockumentary. I quite enjoyed it. Then I googled a bit and found it was real. Nope. So badly put together. I honestly thought the interviewees were actors they were so over the top.
Plus it made me watched actual cats being harmed and/or bodily harm to humans. Not good.

Going to take a slightly different view on this one:
Spoiler
The media coverage of such cases is unsavoury and does glamourise such acts, but I think if you're capable of such things then while it might act as a trigger, if it didn't exist there would still be something else to motivate/compel you.Serial killers predate social media, broadcast media and in some cases perpetrated their crimes before print media and the authorities even cottoned on to what was happening.

Thanks for that, it just came off my list. Animal cruelty sends me into a rage, I even struggle with the horror film trope of the barking dog turning to a yelp/whine. I couldn't watch this.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
To be clear, you don't see the actual acts, but you do see the starts of the videos in question, and you can hear some of the audio for bits they don't show you. It was more than enough to get their point across (bordering on tasteless in my mind), and my own cats got a hug after I watched it.
Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
You're right, but bearing in mind what Snowy said above about even the sounds affecting him it's probably best he swerves it. My wife couldn't watch or listen to the bits in question.Raid wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 12:02 pmTo be clear, you don't see the actual acts, but you do see the starts of the videos in question, and you can hear some of the audio for bits they don't show you.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Oh yeah, I absolutely wasn't trying to persuade Snowy to watch it, I just wouldn't want anyone to think we were masochists having watched something with visible animal deaths.
Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Sure, that's fair

If it's the old one, that was one of my favourite episodes. Just sat back speechless after it finished.
