Re NASCAR and Denny- how in the hell can someone drive for one team and own another one, all on the same track?  Maybe it's not a rule written into the official rules because it's so damn obvious that it's a problem, but seems like a really bad idea.

I watched the first episode of some sci-fi series called another life about first contact.  What a piece of shit.  The plot made no sense, the CGI was bad, the acting was worse, and it was like my daughter was the science advisor. I haven’t decided if I’m going to watch the second episode yet

There’s also a season 2!

[TonyTexas 10431]

Will be highly anticipated by moi.

Been that way for years. Look at Tony Stewart the driver before retiring, he owned Stewart-Haas Racing. Drove under Gibbs but then left Gibbs and retired fully and focused on his team.

That's just how Nascar is.

The Tourist. 4 episodes in and it's very good with lots of suspense.

Just saw the first two episodes yesterday.  So far, so good.  Can't tell yet if it's supposed to be a black comedy (no racist).

It definitely has some funny moments. Good twists too with some of the characters.

I wonder how they vet the families- they are all great as far as I remember. It’s an important part of the character of the show, which hits the mark of rooting for and laughing with, and not something negative.

Not to sound crass but whenever they showed his family I was just thinking about how hard I’d fuck his mom. She’s got one free ticket to PleasureTown on the Helo Express whenever she wants it.

Nature Boy. A documentary that originally aired on ESPN. When I was a kid I and 2 other friends ran the video camera at the Methodist Church. We'd watch Mid South rasslin out of a Lake Charles station or a Godzilla movie on channel 13 out of Houston if it was somehow better than Mid South. The only problem was we'd forget to switch back to the camera after the sermon the preacher would go missing for large chunks of time. Received dozens of complaints from the local nursing home

I finished the 6 part Alexander, the making of a god.  I really enjoyed it.  I thought it was a good blend of dramatic reenactment and discussions by historians.  They were good about including the historians talking about what was based on historical records and what was speculation. Stateira was a real slut.

[mchookem 15568]

i'm probably way behind on this one, i don't know how many years ago it was released...but the World War II series is incredible, primarily because the footage is absolutely astounding! 😮 we ended up watching sort of in preparation for a WWII site-seeing trip to Germany and France we've got planned with my dad in a few months. i have never seen footage this extensive, plus they colorized a lot of it, so it's just mind-blowing. i'm legit shocked that this much footage even exists!

anyways...it's really, really good.

Was great. Also loved how he wrote about one girl that she didn’t like nature then negged another chick who was huge into nature. 
 

There were couple of the people on the show that were automatic fast forwards for me (that Dani girl eg) but Connor was a must watch.

Same.  That scene in episode 1 was hot. 

Though my new favorite thing is the conservative outrage of "Omg Netflix is SO WOKE and made Alexander gay"

Well if you watched the fucking thing, they specifically mention a) he was historically known to be very close with Hephaestion, so much so that it was said the only thing that defeated Alexander was Hephaestion's thighs, b) he was rumored to be very openly affectionate with men and kissed Bagoas the Eunuch in public and c) the Greeks didn't even have a fucking concept of homosexuality, they just loved sex.  

What's the old saying? The Greeks invented sex and the Romans found out you could also have sex with women.

The Greatest Night in Pop, on the making of We Are The World is good.  Still crazy to think they got all of those people together to record all night after an awards show.  Pretty cool seeing all the footage from the recording.  

Late to the party here but a +1 on this recommendation, especially if you are a GenXer and this came out when you were in high school. It hits all the nostalgia vibes and really is an incredible story to get so many actual legends of the music business together to pull an all-nighter. The footage of icons like Diana Ross, Paul Simon, Tina Turner, and Bruce Springsteen lounging around together like a bunch of college students is just an amazing piece of cultural history.

We love this show and hate that it’s so brief. We enjoy all of them as they have such different approaches to life. Dani is so driven and unemotional in her personality vs some of the others. This is a special show in how it treats these folks with dignity and grace instead of exploiting them.

100% agree at how well folks are portrayed and treated in a respectful manner. I just didn’t like Dani, the older guy or the guy from Boston that was using IG to find dates with ladies that seemed to just be fishing for their time on screen. All in all I liked the Australian show better top to bottom. 
 

But from US show I could watch Connor, the guy from Clemson & the couple that went on safari all day.

I watched the episode of Suits last night where there was tension in the firm. Mike was almost found out, and Louis was an asshole until redeeming himself in the end. It was also the one where Donna and Rachel were wearing tight clothes. 

(little repetitive but I'm still watching)

[TexEx15 17326]

Another vote for Loudermilk. I hope it gets revived on Netflix.

[bluto 4819]

The original love on spectrum with aussies, Michael is the best damn ‘character’ ever. His family is great too.

Just FYI  Dateline also did an episode on this awhile back so some may remember it from there.

We just discovered Resident Alien last night and watched the first three eps. It’s like Northern Exposure with an alien theme. Enjoyed it. S3 debuts tonight.

Was Netflix's pretty accurate? I know they sensationalize on some of these and they can differ from another sources version. Dateline is usually pretty neutral in their reporting

Yeah from what i can remember about the Dateline one. I think I probably preferred the Dateline one, but the Netflix one probably has a lot more interaction with the victim guy in it. Still crazy either way lol.

Also not really sure why it wasn't investigated more early on when all death threats by text/email were happening. Just seemed like "welp we don't know where she is but hey let her keep sending death threats to everyone"[/spoilers]

Spoiler

Agreed on that. Detectives dropped the ball for sure. Although, it's kind of hindsight 20/20 thinking. But to not even cover all your bases and check out the love triangle angle. But I guess those guys don't have a ton of experience with these types of cases, especially the digital angle. But her burning down her own house with her pets inside is fucking insane. I'm sure she did that to throw them off her scent to the point that no one is killing their own pets.

I'm a few episodes in.  It's ok and while I fully appreciate it's quite normal to suspend disbelief when watching a show but the opening scene and the apparent inability to outmaneuver a fucking 18 wheeler and then a subsequent non death scene I won't spoil really annoy me.

Yeah, I was laughing at that. Also, Semis don't out run cars when the car is on a flat smooth road and the semi is at a dead stop in the middle of the desert.

Just wait till the well climber scene.

Well climber is the exact scene I was thinking of.  That is the episode I left off yesterday.  Ridiculous.   Show is still solid enough for what I need out of it (something to watch while doing cardio) but that's some lazy fucking writing.  Or maybe just intentionally bad in that respect? 

[Storm the Field 5256]

Watched the first episode of Killer Paradox last night. Will definitely stick with it. Korean crime drama that just came out last weekend. About a timid college kid that "accidentally" kills a guy and the detective assigned to investigate. 100% on RT and user scores are very good too.

They have a similarly good series on Rome (3 seasons, one covers Comodus) and 2 season on Constanopule.  Couldn’t get into one they tried to do Japan.

Obliterated was funny and fast paced. It worked for me. Only 8 episodes.
