Surprised to see Earl's brother Randy (Ethan Suplee) from "My Name is Earl", but in the brief moments he appeared in this preview he looked rather terrifying. What happened, Randy? Steroids?

Definitely looking forward to this one.

Either steroids or he's been on the 'Burger Diet' since his days as Randy!

Really nice travel series by the BBC: Asian Provocateur. Full of charming and funny moments.

 

A sri lankan guy, comedian romesh ranganathan, who is 100% brit in upbringing gets egged on by his mum to discover his roots.

 

Hilarious.

 

Some may compare it to An Idiot Abroad but it has a lot more affection for the subject matter and sri lanka.

I watched this. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I found bits moderately funny. I like the guy when he appears on Mock the Week, but this sorta fell flat for me overall

Series 3 of the excellent British crime drama "The Fall" with Gillian Anderson has begun, but if you haven't watched it previously you'll need to download the first two series otherwise it may not make much sense.

 

Tnx for the heads up. First couple of episodes are disappointing, however, just fluff, unless you really like to hang around in the ER. Seems they're running the clock--I hope for some good purpose that better show itself soon!

I agree, seemed like a lot of unnecessary filler.

Saw the first episode of Divorce. Some well known faces in it including Sara Jessica Parker and more importantly: it is from Sharon Horgan. One can notice by the nasty dialogues and speeches. I found it rather entertaining but I find almost everything from or with Sharon Horgan entertaining ("Pulling" and "Catastrophe" being my favourites). If you like this kind of humour, give it a try.

I found the change of pace quite agreeable....the forensic look at how paul isntreated was very watchable...inthink this season is shaping up around what a bugger it is going to be tomtry this fellow successfully with all the politics among the coppers.

Another good one is the documentary Killing Ed. If you don't know about the Turkish Cult that owns the most Charter schools in the US and probably around the world this will be enlightening. This is related to the recent coup in Turkey and the man who the present Turkish government wants extradited to the US.

An interesting if rather sobering original documentary from Netflix.

 

It's sort of topical for me, since I seem to have been mistaken by another TVF member for some apparently unsavory soul after posting a picture here, a picture that I found with a Google search! The documentary shows the whole tragic consequences of our online culture

Google 'fat guy young girl pattaya' it'll be either the first or second picture on the image tab. Comes from a website called 'http://www.adventurouskate.com

 

Where she got the picture from, who knows, but it appears the original photographer seems quite infamous in certain segments of the Pattaya crowd.

 

What happens on the internet, stays on the Internet!

The Siege of Jadotville : It's a pretty decent movie based on a true story about Irish soldiers working for the UN in the Congo in 1960s. From Netflix but seems to be available in other places online.
