The new trainwreck Poop Cruise is a bit of a let down compared to the other trainwreck docos

I didn't mind it, but your description really doesn't do it justice. I would be pissed off if I were a passenger on that ship, that's for sure.

Pissed off... for sure...

the outreau case: a french nightmare

wife landed on this one. i was vaguely familiar with it.
but my biggest take-away from this documentary though, was lawyers commenting on people confusing 'outreau' with 'dutroux', and i discovered i too had confused the cases and was not familiar.

thankfully, given the subject matter this one was quite boring and i nodded off on successive evenings instead of watching. i somehow still managed to recall some details that my wife missed.

The new trainwreck Poop Cruise is a bit of a let down compared to the other trainwreck docos which are generally brilliant (eg. Woodstock 99). If you can think about the most boring, sheltered drama queens freaking out about relatively mundane things for an hour with dramatic music you're basically there. Probably the best is a girl describing in great deal the horrors of having to pee in a shower with below average lighting.

Let’s chuck you on a ship with no ability to dispose of your piss or poo for 4 days, leaking sewerage, minimal food, no ventilation and see if you have the same opinion…

Incidents on cruise ships get out of hand a lot quicker than land because you have no ability to escape and you’re stuck with the same people, so small arguments can escalate quickly.

This was day 1 stuff I'm referring to - I take it you haven't seen it?

Being stuck on a ship full of Americans would do me in quicker than the ones and twos.

I’ve seen it

I’ve seen it

Definitely sounds like we watched two different shows then.

When you are asked to pee in the shower with no expectation that it will be anything longer than a day and you make a massive deal out of it, yes that is sheltered drama queen behavior. That's the kind of stuff the docs was centered on.

I have no question that some shit went down and the people that dealt with illness or violence could have had real bad stories to tell but they weren't on the show. Instead we got omg I had to eat a sandwich and poo in a red bag! for probably 90% of the docs.

Like I said, I expected Lord of the Flies at sea.

cold case: tylenol murders

feels like the 80's are an endless source of material for netflix. it does though mean people get dragged out of their retirement homes to take part. there's distant crimes they can still get people to talk about before they drop off face of the earth. because once that happens, they can't make their doco.

many, many people seem to judge the quality of these by their perception of any justice that took place, or injustices brought to light. since this one wasn't solved, it seems to follow that reviews are middling.
i was interested it in as a purely educational thing - had never heard of the case. once these start getting into speculation about what happens behind the scenes and hidden objectives i don't care as much anymore.

Im sick again and home alone. Is there any limited series of 4-6 hours people recommended that i can binge today while i lay in bed? I remember there was some tsunami drama a while back?

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Finished watching Cassandra the other day.
Interesting idea, (a German family moves into a 40 year old early AI house, whereby the old A1 assistant “wakes up” and has an axe to grind shall we say…).
Very watchable but so many plot holes; I was constantly yelling at the family to push the bloody AI robot over and run away (it’s essentially a Dalek)..

Dept Q

Watching through the new season of Somebody Feed Phil.

One of the more enjoyable 'doco' shows I've watched. Very easy viewing.

 

[Gasometer]

Keen to see how this new Eric Bana series goes

I watched a couple of those and he really rubbed me the wrong way. He just seemed like an overly patronising American.

Interesting. I have never found him patronizing at all. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, and he's quite funny.

Interesting, I always found him far more self deprecating than patronising.

I have always got the sense he'd be pretty polarising - more for his Mr Bean like personality haha.

Yeah just my 2c. I really didn't like him.

Just started watching the first series of Sneaky Pete with Giovanni Ribisi and Bryan Cranston.

Others may have watched it elsewhere, but it's new to Netflix.

Love it!

Pretty old now but yes enjoy!

Just read Mercy, the book Dept Q was based on. It's very well-written, different in several aspects but the storyline is the same. Different ending and some characters. The Netflix series really enlarged and improved on all the concepts, imo.

I was disappointed in the film The Keeper of Lost Causes though.

Yeah watched this a few years back, only 2 (?) seasons I think, but it's a fun watch.

Third & final season on Netflix.

 

[Gough]

I saw it and thought Pete Kleinow might be getting some overdue respect.

 

[Cruyff14]

Third & final season on Netflix.

I watched all of it on Stan I'm pretty sure. Unless I am mistaken and the third season is recent.
