I'm only two episodes into this, but The Decameron is funny as fuck. It's set in Medieval Italy on an estate outside of Florence where people are vacationing to get away from the plague in the big city.

Oh, it's got one of the Derry Girls chicks and the tall goofy chick from Sex Education.

Been watching Mo. I never knew about it until a few days ago, but it is great. 2 seasons out. I highly recommend, especially for y'all Houston folks. 


Thanks for the recommendation. Binged both seasons. Really a fantastic, humanistic show. Both Mo and his mother were awesome. I almost died laughing at Hameed a few times.

Court of Gold is a must see for US Bball fans.

Follows US, France, Canada and Serbia through the Olympics to the final game with Steph's legendary performance.

Great one ones with players from all teams.

Getting around to watch the OJ Manhunt thing for some reason lol....but will say it is pretty well done.

Still amazed how they were able to fuck this all up.

Good to see Carl Douglas (the lawyer) is hanging on til the end like a piece of shit

Anyone ever watch I Am A Killer? First half of each episode you're like, 'Hmm, maybe this person isn't a complete piece of shit'. Then the second half when others start talking, 'Yep, this mother fucker still sucks'.

The best one was way back in season 1, with the axe murderer guy from Laredo. To this day the most genuine killer they have interviewed. He was a genuine psycho but he made no qualms about it.

Just started American Murder Gabby Petito.  Have a feeling this isn't going to end well.

Started it tonight. Netflix doesn’t miss with true crime documentaries. I already know all the details, but the editing and pacing makes for a very entertaining 45 minutes.

Despite some unfortunate tattoos, Gabbie’s friend Rose has to be the best looking Domino’s delivery driver ever.

I learned a couple things watching this.  One is I was strangely attracted to that gay chick, the other is the body cams they had were crystal clear.  Utah and Florida, high-quality level videos.  If the security industry in general all had that good of cameras, a lot of shit could get solved quickly.

Shit we would do the same to foreign soldiers running through our cities and killing our families.

Fuck em, they were supporting a scumbag warlord and I’d like some SF ninjas to cut their throats. I don’t give a fuck what we would do if they were here, they’re already here, in Minnesota

Petito doc was a sad watch. The Moab bodycam was especially tough to see, how scared she was, how she kept blaming herself and how she was afraid to be away from him still. Crazy how he was mostly unemployed that whole time and she got a job at dominos so they could buy the van. Dude was an all-around loser.

Yea unfortunately many cops are woefully untrained when it comes to DV & coercive control.

Unreal what complete pieces of shit his parents were, too. While who knows how much money and manpower was spent searching, they just sat by silently knowing exactly what happened. Their worthless son would still be alive if they possessed anything resembling a moral compass. I wonder if they were hoping he offed himself so the public would lose interest in the case.

Gabby had the van and Brian was in the hotel room after the Moab stop. One wire transfer and she could have made it home. I know parents say enough is enough with their kids, but a lot of these true crime stories end because a parent won’t send them anymore money. 
 

Gabby’s mother, God bless her, should have been on the first thing smoking to SLC after Moab. Texting her are you ok? doesn’t accomplish shit.

Well she reconnected with her killer first chance she got, so I doubt she'd have been receptive of mom dropping in. Also the Moab cops, like many cops, see things as the abuser sees them so they can't process that maybe the woman is actually in trouble. Not sure you can train them to realize men lie to keep control, and women lie our of fear.

The eyewitness 911 caller who said he was slapping her should have made him the suspect, imo. But yeah, cops gonna cop.

I read that situation as the cops wanting to do the bare minimum amount of work in that situation. But seeing how freaked out she was in that video, it should have raised red flags. And there is no chance that I would have come away from that thinking she was the abuser. Abusers don't tell the cops "oh it was all my fault".

What the hell ever happened to Black Mirror?  Show was really good.  Even the episodes I didn't care for that much were pretty good.  Seems like it'd be a money maker as production couldn't have been that high.  I know they started to bring in some higher end actors during the last season, but it seems like they could pump out a handful of episodes every year or so.

Edit:  Looks like a new season is coming out this year.

"Axe murderer in Laredo?"  I'm gonna have to do some web research on this.  Sounds interesting.

Early 1990s. His name was Miguel Venegas, when he was 16, he and 17 year old Miguel Martinez broke into the house of 41 year old James Smiley. There are rumors that Smiley had previously molested Martinez. Venegas was just a crazy person, believing he was the son of the devil, etc. He found an axe in the house and murdered Smiley and two 14 year old boys from Mexico who were sleeping over at Smiley’s house that night with it (so yes he probably was a child molester). 
 

Venegas somehow got a 41 year sentence. Martinez got the death penalty, one of the youngest to ever get it in the state, even though he didn’t commit the axe murder portion. His sentence was later commuted to life in prison. The episode was called “Sympathy for the Devil”, season 1.

Sad story, but the Moab incident isn’t black and white in my opinion. The guy had marks on him. Who do you arrest here?  Nobody is getting convicted in that case. The cops did separate them giving her a chance to get away, but she went back to him just hours later.  You can only do so much for people sometimes. Now, they should have given her the motel room and sent him off in the van.  As far as his parents, what a couple of absolute scumbags. If that’s my son, the police are waiting for him when he drives up to the house. The apple certainly didn’t fall far from the tree with these three shitbags.
