Observations on the Luis Figo documentary:

- Too long, could have been 45 minutes not 1 hour 45 minutes
- Camp Nou is one hell of a stadium
- Pep and Figo had one hell of a bromance
- Pep is definitely tastier now than he was with hair
- Figo’s Danish trouble and strife is quite something
- Figo is definitely less tasty now than he was back in the day, great hair though, less of a sheen to it now.
- Figo’s transfer value 22 years ago is in the same ballpark as our recent Ben White/Cucu transfers, makes you think.

The McAfee doc is a bit of an eye-opener.

The superb sports doc series, Untold, is back with The Girlfriend Who Never Existed - Manti Teo's story.


It's a phenomenal story well worth a watch.

Echo this, really good watch. Gotta feel for the guy! Also the Untold And1 is really decent, street basketball to trainer co story

The guy who actually won the Heisman when Teo came runner up actually went on to have a worse NFL career than Teo. Teo was an idiot tbh, or stupidly naive.

Untold And1, the skills! Especially from the token 12 year old white kid ‘The Professor,’ phenomenal talent.

I thought Kleo was very watchable. About a Stasi special ops killer who is betrayed and sentenced to life imprisonment.

When the iron curtain comes down, she goes all "Killing Eve" on those who betrayed her. I hope it gets a second series.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Monster: the Jeffry Dahmer Story.
I've just finished watching all 10 episodes, absolutely engrossing. The guy who plays Dahmer is excellent, he captures the weird, socially awkward and sinister side of him so well, and obviously he was a seriously disturbed individual, but you can't help but think he never stood a chance with the family he had. A mother who didn't want him, a father who was rarely there and when he was he encouraged the dissection of roadkill and showed him how to "zombify" animals by injecting acid into their brains.
Not sure how accurate the series is to actual events, but the police and justice system were a laughing stock throughout. So many murders could've been prevented and Dahmer was almost made to feel untouchable because they dropped the ball so often.
I'd definitely recommend watching it, many of the gruesome scenes are more in the way of suggestions and you never really see too much so you don't need a strong stomach or anything, but it is extremely twisted as you can imagine.
Very sad that so many men were brutally murdered in such horrific ways.

^. Episode one, you’re in short-sighted Jeffery’s flat, about to be butchered, do you:

A) Grab the glasses off his face
B) Grab the glasses off his face
C) Stamp on the glasses when they fall off his face onto the floor in the tussle
D) Leave them alone

I’m really enjoying The Old Man I’m watching on firestick think it’s on Disney if you have that.

Eat the Rich: The Gamestop Saga. How the power of the internet dramatically moved the share price of a dying company. Very interesting.

 

[KZNSeagull]

The Courier. Very well told and acted spy story with Cumberbatch. Based on a true story

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Amazon Prime in the US has a sports themed series about women playing baseball in the 1940's during WWII called............ never mind.

ALOTO was actually really good. Looking forward to the next series.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Its on Disney+, but I would thoroughly recommend Wedding Season.
We gave it a go, & are engrossed in it....excellent show.

It was a very good series. Like you say the police incompetence was off the scale. The black woman who lived in the apartment next to him had continuously called the police telling them something was very wrong but they just ignored her. She even asked them to check on the age of one of his victims who she believed was underage but they just said it was between consenting adults so not her business. Eventually they were suspended during the investigation but the union got them reinstated and they were even given an award later on ! If the police had done their job lives could have been saved

The second series of Young Wallander is much better than the first. A good binge watch.

Now just seen The Courier - a cold war spy story based on truth, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch. Great film, well worth watching.

The police were expertly manipulated and conned by Dahmer multiple times. He was so cool under pressure. The case with the young victim you mentioned, he had the police in his apartment when he STILL had the corpse of his previous victim laying on his bed! Ice in his veins. He could talk his way out of anything.

He was also pulled over with the dismembered corpse of his first victim wrapped in bin bags on the back seat! He talked his way out of it and the police didn’t search his car! If only they’d checked, most of his victims would still be alive today.

Thanks for the recommendation- watching it now. Its brilliant.

Any excuse to watch Mila Kunis, but The Luckiest Girl Alive is pretty poor fare. The fact that she looks completely different from her school age character I thought might be explained by her having had plastic surgery. It wasn’t.

Echo this, really good watch. Gotta feel for the guy!

Good watch but no I didn't feel for the guy at all. Just thought he was daft! How can you claim to be in a relationship with someone you've never even seen!?!
