NETFLIX RECOMMENDATIONS: stuff to watch

[Soup]

Watched Zodiac last night. Seen it when first released but forgot how good it was. Fascinating story and I might dig the book out and give that another read.

Watched the first 3 episodes of the Cecil Hotel thing. Whilst I find these mysteries fascinating and would be interested to know what actually happened to Elisa Lam, there are some weird people online who got far to into it. Some of them seem genuinely interested, but some of those talking heads they got that were looking into it seemed to get off on looking into this death.

Watched "Operation Odessa" yesterday. Miami/Russia/Colombia. Stars 3 larger than life characters,  particularly the Escobar associate Nelson "Tony" Yester. 

Riveting and fun viewing. Highly recommended!

Watched a few episodes of Real Detective. Some quite intriguing stories with the detectives that actually solved them. You can see what it did to these detectives. Its a good show that shows just how emotional some of the stories are and the impact they have on the detectives working them. You have to have a strong stomach to do that job.

Is that something a bit like a tie rack bit for underpants ?

Web sleuths weird people to the point of obsessive.

Master of None...is fabulous

[rico]

Blitzed Behind Her Eyes yesterday, very good 7/10

[Sambiasso]

Watched Umbrella Academy over the past week, decent watch. 

Money Hiest season 1 was a good watch, given myself a break before watching the second series.

Pelé is excellent.

Man that was a fantastic show. It doesn't get much better than that scene in series 2 when he's in the Uber pulling away from a less than successful date and they play 'say hello, wave goodbye' in its entirety, the camera just focusing on his turmoil. Beautiful, beautiful TV. 

 

Shame that Ansari turned out to be a bit of a misognist and wrecked his career.... A cracking stand up as well and brilliant in another of my favourite shows Parks and Recreation.

Escape from Pretoria on Prime video. I'm a sucker for prison escape movies in general and this one is good. A lot of tension and intriguing how it went down. Defo worth a watch.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but 'Cuba and the Cameraman' is a great documentary. It's about a journalist who goes over to Cuba just after the Revolution to interview Castro. He ends up going back every 4/5 years and he meets all sorts of people.You see the changes to these people along the way and it's fascinating. The three brothers on the farm is both heartbreaking and uplifting.

Good series, we enjoyed it

Since getting a VPN, apparently we can watch Netflix in 15 different countries. Is there anything on Netflix abroad that we can't see here that is worth watching?

The Ted Bundy film ' Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile' is on Netflix in lots of other country's. Definitely worth a watch.

In football terms, I honestly don't know. Watched every game in the 70 World Cup and thought Pele was great even though he was past his best. 

Big fan of Diego also. Impossible to distinguish different types of perfection.

Blinded by the Light is now on Netflix. Excellent feel good film even if you're not really in to Bruce Springsteen
