What TV Series Are You Streaming Lately?

I'm now at Season 2 Episode 4. I can't believe I never stumbled across this earlier

I actually mixed that up with that one horror series (where all the popular horror storries come alive, like Frankenstein's monster etc). Forgot its name. Not sure whetehr I've seen Peaky Blinders. I recall something in that theme. Maybe it was a movie.

Edit: the series I thought you were talking about is called Penny Dreadful. The names are... at least somewhat similar?

Just wrapped up Suburra. Solid show. I think I prefer Gomorrah though

Get Shorty is actually really good. I'm at E07 now.

Binged Bojack Horseman. Took me a while to get into it. The tone of the show changes quite a bit in the 3rd and 4th seasons to the point where the bizarre humor (e.g. the whole clown dentist plot) seems out of place. Would be a lot better show if they wrote Aaron Paul's character out.

I really liked S04. But I'll have to revisit the whole series sometime soon.

BTW, really loved this piece of art, titled "Say When..." (by ArdentMind on DeviantArt):

Finished Mindhunter a few nights back. Very, very good. I don't think a show has written a more irritating female character.

Thanks for reminding me, I'd forgotten that Suburra had dropped. The original movie of the same name is outstanding.

Yeah the movie is great. I somehow forgot a lot of the details and re watched it not too long ago. Wasn't expecting to see many of the actors in the movie are also in the show.

So I am like halfway through S2 of Broadchurch...and I desperately want to read about the accuracy of its courtroom scenes, but I am holding off to avoid spoilers.

I really hope that they are just playing really fast and loose with how it actually works. American shows have gotten a lot better about courtroom scenes (at least the high-brow shows that are equivalent to Broadchurch)...maybe British shows haven't bothered to do the same?

Otherwise I am just sorely confused and never want to be on trial for a crime in England.

Spoiler

I'm obviously not done yet...but wtf? Just a few things that have me thinking "wtf"
-excluding the confession from evidence after the Jury already knows about it. Would this not be done pre-trial? Would it not have involved a lot more back and forth and things like...collecting evidence from the other two police officers who were present and the doctor that treated Joe to determine that his injuries were sustained post-confession? And while juries regularly disregard certain comments made by witnesses or minor pieces of evidence...would they really continue to run a full trial in front of a jury that was just told the defendant confessed to the crime?
-forcing Miller to testify...as a prosecution witness. WTF happened there? If the defense is able to compel her to testify against the wishes of the prosecution...why would she not be called during their case?
-Surprise evidence. Do they not have to bring these things up in advance? Can they be in the middle of questioning Miller and be like "oh yeah, we claim to have this CCTV of you in the hotel that nobody has heard about before"? Ditto for surprise witnesses that the other side doesn't think will show up (they called the trailer park lady at the end of the last episode I watched, and it looks like everyone was surprised to see her).
-Can lawyers in England just introduce facts to the jury? Many times the defense lady has simply stated new facts. In the US, I don't think this would fly. You'd need to introduce evidence and have the witness identify and verify the content.

I assume they are just playing most of this stuff up for dramatic effect, but some of it really bothers me while watching. Having never seen another British courtroom drama...maybe I shouldn't be bothered because this is actually how people do ****?

Thanks for this. I watched episodes 1 and 2 the other night. Loved them. I didn't realize at first that these were based on actual cases and when I realized Edmund Kemper actually did those things....

Started watching American Vandal


It is like Serial, if Serial were about a stupid crime and made by some dumb high school kid...and it is magical.

 

[Gus]

"Stranger Things" of course

Damn right.

I find this show so funny. The casting is perfect all around, especially Dylan. I'd say anyone who enjoyed Trailer Park Boys should probably see this.

Just finished Vice Principals (Loved it). also big on Curb. Netflix wise im on season 3 of American Horror. 2nd one was eh in my opinion but I'm into witchcraft and satanic **** so I'm digging this one so far.

Thrones has been my go to for years.
