I discovered "TIGER KING" last night by accident. After 5 minutes I was hooked and went on a mini-binge that lasted for the first 6 episodes. Was basically up all night watching that show. I was actually about to create a thread just for this show; it is SOLID GOLD. I love documentaries and am on the lookout for good ones constantly. This is one of the best I have seen, and as has been mentioned, it just keeps twisting and turning and becoming more and more riveting. To an extent, it reminds me of "King of Kong" which is another great documentary, in that the show allows us a peek into a very small community of totally weird, interesting, and outrageous folks, with no shortage of crazy content to keep you entertained. If you are a fan of non-fiction/documentaries, or just looking for something interesting to watch, I can't recommend this highly enough. I still think we could do with a thread dedicated to the series. There's SO MUCH to discuss! Edited March 25, 2020 by Nextmanup Quote
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Anyone watch the new season of Altered Carbon yet? I enjoyed S1 (not great but good) and I’m running out of shows to watch. Quote

Haven't seen episode 2 yet however. Quote
SoTier Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) I started watching "The Plot Against America" on Spectrum Originals. I didn't realize it was one of those "alternative history" tales until episode 2 when somehow Lindbergh, portrayed as openly pro-Nazi, traded on his image as a hero to not only be the Republican presidential candidate in 1940 but actually winning the election over FDR by running on the platform of "Lindbergh or war" while Roosevelt acted "statesman like" and several southern states voted Republican. The absurdity of that scenario just killed it for me. Everything about that is just so implausible in terms what the American political scene was like in 1940 -- the only things that were true was that there was a war in Europe and that there was a strong isolationist sentiment (but not necessarily pro-Nazi or anti-Semitic) -- that it's ludicrous. Apparently, this series is based on a novel that was published in 2004. I'll not be watching the rest of this series. PS. FDR won the 1940 election over Wendell Wilkie by carrying 38 of 48 states, 449 of 531 electoral votes, and nearly 55% of the popular vote. Edited March 25, 2020 by SoTier Quote

Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Re-watching Game of Thrones is awesome. Just finished S1 last night and it’s amazing how much stuff I’m picking up on now. Characters appearing now and things happening that I thought were much later in the show. Plus, Danny’s boobs are all over the place in S1 ? 1 1 Quote

The Poojer Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Started watching the prime series with James May from Top Gear. 6 episodes of him touring Japan from north to south. Doesn't sound very interesting, but James May has a very entertaining delivery and it's a very fun watch. I think it's called "Our Man in Japan" or something like that Quote

If you like Ken Burns films, Prime has New York...it is the American Experience one. Super long, like 16 hours...but it is a fascinating look and history of NYC. Growing up in Niagara Falls, had no idea why we had the Robert Moses parkway..certainly understood after watching this film! 2 Quote
