My autodownloader finally managed to find the first 4 episodes The informant, one of Wills recommendations and I started to watch it last night, looks good, Attila, from the golden life features in it, another classic from HBO Hungary.

 

Then I started Tokyo Vice - Looks really good, based upon a book, based around a true story - You can tell Michael Mann directs, all handheld camera, unusual angles - he's a master.

 

I caught Jackass forever last weekend, I didn't think it was so bad, I grew up on the series, so was OK to watch with the wife, who appreciates that slapstick style. I just thought it was just good infantile humor and stunts. The bear scene at the end was pretty intense. Went on 30 mins too long tho'

 

Anyone seen The Cane Field Murders? Some things upcoming, Better Call Saul S06 on Tuesday and Mayans S05 on Wednesday of this week. Next month, Tehran S02 and maybe, El Marginal S05.

Do you mean The Cane Field Killings AKA Reyka?

 

I started it but it didn't do it for me.

Possibly a case of mistaken identity............they were miners on their way home from the coal mine!!!

I watched an absolute gem of a little movie last night, called, "The Siege of Jadotville" and it was about an incident in the Belgian Congo, where a battalion of soldiers from Northern Ireland were fighting on behalf of the UN, against Belgian mercenaries backed by the Belgian government and large mining companies.

 

The movie was expertly done, with great acting and battle scenes, and the only actor I recognised was Mark Strong, although every other actor in the movie was excellent.

 

The movie also included the part where Dag Hammarskjöld was travelling to the Congo to try and broker some sort of peace – – won't tell you the rest, but what I will tell you is this movie is well worth seeking out. Available on: 1337x.to  

Very accurate movie.

Three generations of my family lived in Katanga and I was born nearby Jadotville, in Elisabethville, nowadays called Lubumbashi.

But I only spent the first six months of my life in Katanga before my parents decided to move back to Belgium.

Watching Tokyo Vice at the moment. Brilliant series!
 

I must thank @Will27 for the recommendation.

PS But I suggest that it maybe be only suitable for grown ups, as one episode (sofar) depicts inter-racial sexual relations.

But plenty of racism - I loved the expression on the bosses face when he met the new interns, "<deleted>? who let the white boy in here, get him out" "

Inter- racial sexual relationships and marriages are no problem in modern times,i just get cheesed off when they try to depict them in the 1950s villages etc in rural Britain its changing history just totick a box.

Just binge watched all 5 episodes on HBO Go.

All good, lots of deaths, and a few naked Japanese 'Hostess bar' girls.

Thanks. Watched and enjoyed ✅

 

The demise of the dinosaurs was also covered in this very popular (6.5M views) YouTube documentary

 

 

[Will27]

Gazza

 

Enjoyed episode 1.

 

Summary: The story of a footballing genius, Paul Gascoigne, whose on-field brilliance is matched by a troubled private life and a media mania that spirals out of control.

 

 

[oxo1947]

The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe..

 

ITV- 4 episodes

Every Brit will know the story-plus it been done a few times over the years, but its still worth a look , first episode was good.

 

It is one of the most notorious cases of fraud in history, the story of John Darwin, who faked his own death with the help of his wife Anne, in order to claim his life insurance and avoid bankruptcy. Now Eddie Marsan stars as John Darwin in the television retelling of the unbelievable true story,

 

[Will27]

Million Pound Pawn.

 

Enjoyed this one.

 

Summary: Three-part documentary series lifting the lid on the world of pawnbrokers and their customers. There's no way of knowing who will be walking through the pawnbroker's door next or what their valuables will be.

Russian Doll

I watched "The Siege of Jadotville" last night. I really enjoyed it, it took me back in time to when I was a kid. It brought back a lot of details I had forgotten and filled in the gaps, thanks.

Glad to see sanuk711 back????

The Batman

 

OK, could be about 20 minutes shorter though.

Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King

 

Netflix Doco  1h 30 min Rarbg  I found it a fast paced Doco, everyone wanted to be in Crypto, but for some the process was a little beyond them. The private wallet-the key to access it in hexadecimal - or 64 characters -  Like (E9873D79C6D87DC0FB6A5778633389_SAMPLE_PRIVATE_KEY_DO_NOT_IMPORT_F4453213303DA61F20BD67FC233AA33262) So why not put it with a company that you could check on or instruct them to move (cash in) anytime by using your own private password.  Lots of twist and turns-not the ending I expected.

Yes I've watched the Mr Inbetween (3) & the Mystery Road (2) seasons. Very good IMHO.

So now for hit men, you have only got "Barry" to watch--The 3rd season, starts 24th with --"Barry searches the dark web for jobs;" if you want the 1/2nd series EZTV has some with a few seeds but, there will probably be a revival once season 3 comes out.
