Watched a documentary about legendary club promoter terry turbo last night. Quite unusual and niche for Netflix.

Been caning Undercover. A wee bit derivative but they’ve plundered some decent shows for ideas. Dutch/Belgian (subtitled but like Narcos a bit of English speaking breaks out now and again) untouchable drug lord spends most of his days in his holiday park second home. A pair of undercover detectives are sent in to infiltrate his organisation and much murder, boozing, scrapping and shagging ensues. Gomorrah meets Narcos meets Layer Cake meets Breaking Bad meets The Sopranos. Don’t think the description does it justice on Netflix. Darkly comic, easy watching. Plenty of it too with two seasons of 10 hour-long episodes.

There was a topic about on here before. It was mostly, rightly, filled with gushing posts and lovely pictures of Elise Schaap.

There’s some simmering chemistry between her and the other lady co-star Anna Drijver.

I generally give "reality TV" a heavy swerve but I've been working my way through the recent couple of seasons of QB1: Beyond The Lights.
Peter Berg's involved so it's got Friday Night Lights feel but the 30 mins episodes mean it's pretty watchable for what it is. The FNL connection is pretty much how I landed on it tbh, I doubt I'd have given it much of a chance otherwise.
My mind continues to be absolutely blown at the God-bothering culture that exists though. Absolute fucking oddballs.

Started watching it after seeing your post. Strange that seasons 2 and 3 are there but season 1 isn't. Halfway through season 2. Some of the coaches are arses, ranting and screaming at school kids. Never mind the god bothering, what amazes me is the amount of cash that gets put into school football. That Californian school have 19 coaches in their football programme, when I was at school we hardly saw a new Mitre Mouldmaster!

It is absolutely mental, picking what uni to go to based on how good they are at sport is mad enough but picking what high school to go to is just ridiculous. You get folk changing fucking school if they're not playing enough, they're teenagers and their life is dictated by a sport they have a  tiny chance of making a living from. Just another example of how fucked America is.

Sutcliffe one is decent. Half way through and it is doing all the killings in order and goes into quite a bit of detail. Such as he rearranged the bodies after killing them and he kept going back to them when they weren't found.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but the police had enough to catch him after they discovered the fiver and 2 survivors came forward.

Not watched the Netflix one but BBC 4 has a terrific 3 part doc on him recently. The police attitudes were gobsmacking and in hindsight if they’d listened to early witnesses they could have saved so many lives.

The first survivor couldn't remember anything though because of the blows to her head.

They were never going to catch him because of their mistaken belief that the letters and tapes were 100% genuine. Sutcliffe was interviewed repeatedly but was ultimately ignored as being a suspect because he didn't have a Geordie accent. It was 99% luck that he was caught when he was.

Guys, the series Darkness is incredible in its plot and complexity of perception. You agree with me?

Absolutely. Do you have a link to any Darkness merchandise or such like?

Just finished it. Very interesting watch. Don't really get why it's a limited series tho? That would imply there's more to come?

I’m on episode 3 as we speak. Iv got a growing disdain for that feminist bitch.

Halfway through How To Fix a Drugs Scandal. True story of how 2 chemists in labs in Massachusetts caused thousands of drug convictions to be quashed, one by falsifying drug reports, the other by consuming the drugs they were testing while working.

Up to episode 3 of Trial4. Good grief,  Boston PD were, still are(?) corrupt as f**k! A witness who was brought in to ID the suspect was the neice of an investigating detective!?!?! Riveting!

Just watched both of these. The corruption of the Boston Police and Prosecutors was absolutely incredible/infuriating. That fat old c**t with the shaved white hair was absolutely at it. 

The Drugs Scandal series was also quite mental.

I think the moral of the story is not to get on the wrong side of the law in Massachusetts. Endemic corruption.

Ripper on Netflix, the series about the Yorkshire Ripper investigation is excellent, with the usual conclusion that police (mainly the ones in charge) were very ‘70s and a bit clown shoes. The series was well made in that you felt sorry for the victims and it didn’t glorify the serial killer.

The only missing bit is a follow up on Wearside Jack. Going by his Wiki page, that boys life could be made into a dark comedy. Shortly after the hoax calls/letters, he obviously felt unbearably guilty as he had misdirected the police investigation which led to the death of more women. He jumped off a bridge hoping to end it all and landed on a boat.

Watching the first episode and can’t help thinking that the first victim looks a lot like Myra Hindley.

Watching The Ripper the negligence of the police is so obvious but the "every man is evil" feminist woman is very irritating.

[Ira Gaines]

Finally watched The Queen's Gambit. Absolutely fantastic.

Finished the ripper, it was interesting and there was new information in it even for a well known series of murders.

I didn't know he kept going back to the unfound bodies or rearranged the women and contents of their handbags. He was escalating and growing as a killer getting more brazen as time went by.

That feminist was a boot and should just get in the sea.

Pretty much sums up policing, the cops on the street carrying out the groundwork were on the right track but upper management knew better and cost women their lives.

The £5 note was the key and although they would need to make presumptions it should have been the focus of their investigationo along with the tyre tracks and the size 7 feet. Oh and lets not forget the living victims giving descriptions including his accent.

Interesting theme developing here - plenty posters expressing disdain for the "feminist bint", yet no mention of the mounting pile of dead prostitutes before the first "innocent" victim.

Quality series, I thought, which explained a lot of the atmosphere in the relationships between the sexes when I first moved down here.

The prostitutes that they just assumed were prostitutes because of their lifestyle and had no evidence to suggest that line of work aswell but doesn't take away from the fact that these woman that hate all men do worse for the feminist community than help it.
