    Just finished Unabomber. Quite enjoyed it. Similar to a degree as Mindhunter.

    Just finished watching ‘Tabular Rasa’ on Netflix. It’s Dutch it’s English subtitles but don’t let that put you off. It really sucked me in and I have the attention span of a gnat since having my son 2years ago. Really gripping, highly recommended if you like a psychological thriller :D

    My wife is into this as well. She likes the Hallmark series, like When Calls the Heart and Chesapeake Shores. For my part, I watch them with her but try to watch something with a bit more depth in between. There's so much sugar that I'm afraid I'll get diabetes.

    All three shoes are Canadian, even though Chesapeake Shores is notionally set in the US. It's especially noticeable as full of perfect rich white people, none of them overweight or with real world problems. The way middle america wants to see themselves, undisturbed by the realities of blacks, Hispanics, overweight or ugly people.

    Almost 3 weeks with no TV / Netflix whilst backpacking in NZ. Albeit now a road trip given we couldn’t start our Milford Track walk due to flooding.

    We've just finished watching an excellent series on Netflix. In English it's "Money Heist" but its title.in Spanish is better - "Casa de Papel" Is "House of Paper", being set in a note printing factory where everything could collapse at any moment.

    It's in two parts of 13 episodes each. We didn't realise until episode 13 of part 1 that it was in two parts, and then had to wait several weeks until the second part.

    A small group has trained for months to break into the note printing factory, where they take hostages and start printing Euro notes - hundreds of millions worth. Some excellent plot twists along the way, all really well worth watching.

    A short summary would be good.

    Apparently it's a documentary about people with disabilities finding love.

    My wife works with people with disabilities - often the physical needs without the social constraints (especially for intellectually challenged people) can prove to be a real challenge. It appears that this series goes into the challenges if finding relationships, as far as I can tell.

    The user reviews appear split between 1/2 start and 9/10 star.

    I've just started watching this. It's great. Extremely watchable "true crime" series.

    Really enjoyed the karate kid seriesCobra Kai just out on YouTube red. You can watch the first two episodes without signing up and watch the rest for free using their 30 free trial. It's funny and surprisingly intelligent.

    The Terror on amazon''s streaming service is pretty good as well. Much more bleak than Cobra Kai to say the least. Also wactgable for free using their trial.

    Limitless, the movie was really good.
    The Netflix/TV series of the same name is also proving to be quite good
    Based on the movie, and basically a continuation.
    Produced by Bradley Cooper, and he also appears in the tv episodes

    Btw Michael Schur is a director of both Brooklyn 99 and The Good Place - two very good shows.
