Aftershock, the story of the 2015 Nepalese earthquake is very good. 3 parter on Netflix. 
I’m fascinated with all things Mt Everest but this is a much wider ranging documentary taking in Kathmandu & the Langtang valley too

I watched this over the last 2 days - not bad. I thought the last episode was a bit meh.

So he kept me soul for ransom.

Episode 1 was 10/10 brilliant, it fades a bit after that but recovers near the end. Probably agree it doesn’t need to be 10 episodes long. 
Just going onto episode 4, not bad so far but it does seem like they are dragging it out. The fella playing him is very good.

"The Bear" on Disney Plus is brilliant. Talented chef comes back to Chicago to take over his dead brother's local diner/sandwich shop. 

"Andor" is also class - best of the Star Wars series released to date.

Yeah watched it over the weekend myself, decent enough but probably could have been a 3 or 4 parter. Needlessly dragged out and kind of just trails off, ending was very meh.

Didn't cop your man was Justin Timberlake until near the end either.

Like most things on Netflix, absolutely no need for the amount of episodes. Could have easily been covered in a 5 or 6 parter. 

I can understand why they focused on the families in the last 3 episodes so it doesn't seem like a glorification of Dahmer, but 2 or 3 episodes with Glenda Cleveland being the main focus was too much.

Has any one watched The Walk In with Stephen Graham on ITV? 2 or 3 episodes have been released so far I think.

It's the way TV is going these days unfortunately, Netflix/Apple/Disney/Prime all want content, if someone comes to them with a good idea for a 2hr movie these days, they're told to go back and make it into a 8-10 part miniseries.

I finished The Missing on Netflix. An excellent detective drama if that's your thing.

It was depressing alright but very engaging with excellent performances by Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham.

I watched The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes, which was excellent, and after watching that can confirm that creative decision was probably political and led by optics.

Ted Bundy targeted white college girls. Richard Speck slaughtered Filipino nurses. Gary Ridgway murdered prostitutes. Dean Corll and John Wayne Gacy targeted white boys. Since when has anyone given one sh*t about telling the victims stories in any of those cases?

No commentary but a montage of different recordings over the period featuring a series of vignettes featuring an array of people coping with the changes. Brilliant format.If you are interested in getting some understanding of Russia in 2022, its well worth watching. 7 episodes of about 55 mins.

Adam Curtis is a brilliant film maker. Posted about this on the Ukrainian war thread and linked one of his previous films from 2007 that touched on that called The Trap in that thread.

Would recommend going his back catalogue, the likes of The Power of Nightmares, The Century of the Self and All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace are quality.

I've finished  the series earlier in the week. Excellent. Putin makes a brief appearance in final episode. The Yeltsin years were crazy, akin to the gold rush in the wild west. One clip stands out for me is where scavengers are digging up ww2 battlefields searching for corpses of German soldiers that might have anything of value on them, such was the despiration and poverty. 
I must check out The Trap..
