Came here just to post this. Found it over the weekend...it's incredible! Want to talk about it, but don't want to spoil it. One thing...There are only 5 eps available on HBO GO, but I've seen online that there are 6 eps?
I started watching off your recommendation. I'm only on episode 2 it is very good so far. I thought it was you who said it was one long ass episode of Black Mirror. I guess it was someone else, but you or the person that said it was spot on. This is right up my alley. sci fi is the best genre. I must say this show is pretty bleak.
Episode 6 was a bad-ass finish to the season. One of the most unique shows I've seen. Keith the sexbot for da win!
the "Murder Mountain" docu-series on Netflix was good. It's a 6 part series that looks at the historical and modern status of the mar1juana trade in Humboldt County California. It's basically the wild wild west in 2019. Which is pretty remarkable and crazy. I thought it was super interesting.
I've watched the first 2 eps of "Black Mirror" based on this statement...muchas gracias! I'm all in, although episode one was pretty uncomfortable!
Now that I take the bus to work I have a lot more time to watch 2nd tier shows that I wouldn't make time for. Watched The Bodyguard. I thought it was ok, but the ending fell flat for me. Richard Madden was excellent though - this is the first time his acting chops jumped out to me. Watched Altered Carbon. It was pretty good. Hope they move away from Joel Kinnaman next season. Now about 7 episodes in to Dark Matter. The show is basically a poor man's attempt at Firefly, with characters that aren't even half as interesting. That said, I like sci-fi shows, so I'm watching it.
I thought it started out well and then really dragged. But, it really picked up those last three episodes!
I'm a documentary nerd, so.... National Experience - Chasing the Moon (PBS) - STUNNINGLY well-done documentary on the Gemini and Apollo space programs and the race to the moon. Lots of archival footage I've never seen before. Who Killed Garrett Phillips (HBO) - watched part 1 last night and went to bed with an uneasy feeling about our criminal justice system. I don't think I've ever seen an HBO documentary that wasn't 100% well done and very eye-opening (which is kind of the point of a good documentary).
