I know.

 

Did you see how long that guy's password was.

 

Seriously.  WTF?

Glad I’m not the only one that noticed that part 


 

Also...his mum is ****ing weird too. I did some reading after because I can’t just leave stuff like that alone - his dad had a number of personality disorders and his mum locked his pet rabbits outside in the snow until they died when he misbehaved as a child. ****ed. Up.

Just couldn't get into Mr. Robot...I gave up in series 1 when the talking fish appeared.

Yeah I watched that cats killer thing too and the mum looks and talks exactly how you'd expect a serial killer's mum to. It's so weird.

 

 

I've started watching the Witcher now, first episode is decent.

Don't **** With Cats is interesting. In parts.

Luka's mother making excuses for her son, living in denial, still buying into the "puppet master". She's responsible for her own actions, just as much as is her deranged son.

And why is she wearing handcuff bracelets in the interview (see part 3 towards the end)? Just weird.

I have sympathies and understanding for the way Luka grew up and his father's fate, but no more than that. Sadly, that part isn't really brought forward.

Luka wanted the attention he craved and got it - in a very twisted way.

It is also never truly explained how Luka's name first appeared in the cat video investigation. Who dropped Magnotta's name, how did that come about?

 

What I don't like about the documentary is the way they present the case in a bloated sense, the whole crime investigation story is too stretched, too much non-essential information included. The whole internet community part overblown and could've been much more condensed.

Three oversensationalized parts where two would've sufficed.

 

It also shows me how the filmmakers fell for some of the actors. Too much fake drama, many of the interviewees aren't only straightforward for the sake of it, but also acting out their own role for a bit of fame, getting a platform for their own narcissism. Which makes them look lame and rather self-centered, signs of the times we're living in. It distracts from the main topic which is the hunt for an egocentric, messed-up killer.

The female Police detective in Montréal, for example. Or the casino worker. Unbearable at times.

They just got the casting so perfectly spot on all those years ago didn't they? Julia Davis is phenomenal on her own but pairing her with Adrian Scarborough is just ****ing golden.

Loved Gavin and Stacey. Perfect. 

Absolutely superb. Part of me thought it wouldn't live up to the hype all those years ago and leading up to this special. Was quality though. 

 

Bryn is my favourite character I think.

Started watching The Witcher on Netflix. Didn't think I'd like it but I've really enjoyed it so far.

basically, if they did that ending and we had a new years special it would've been grand, other than that though they really hit it out the park. Gavin's dodgy barnet was hilarious

Watching You on Netflix. 
 

Can’t help but think they missed a trick not casting Penn Badgley as Bundy In Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. Although Zac Effron was pretty good too.

Just can’t get into it, 2 episodes in and I’m struggling 

yeah. it's difficult to adapt from because it's a lot of just stories but without an arc which is a fair adaptation tbf, i'm surprised they kept it so close to the books. I'd recommend getting to episode 5 though, I thought that was fantastic

Have watched the first two episodes of The trial of Christine Keeler as on a special occasion we once stayed at Cliveden ...   must admit I feel no sympathy for any of the characters but still very watchable as it was such a huge event and is well acted.  All the drug taking, under age sex and decadent alcohol fuelled parties that the arrogant political elite were involved with at that time was disgusting.   Modern MP’s such as our very own Keith Vaz, with their enlightened views, would be shocked at what went on during those dark times ...   thank god it has now been stamped out and consigned to history.

Maradona in Mexico on Netflix is a great watch.

 

Blokes a total nutter but his players loved him. A fascinating insight into the man.
