TV Series

[Blue Maverick]

We watched the documentary last weekend.
I think that money was certainly " bonus" but I also believe the accounts of abuse.

I had some questions after the Netflix series eg why didn't they just leave, or even go to the Police? However, after watching the documentary I'm of the mind that the whole facade of the "perfect family" was incredibly multi layered and that even they struggle, even now, to share everything that went on.

Ye I think the Vanity Fair character summed it up well, either they are the best sociopathic actors or they are fucked up children from an abusive family, either of them is awful.

If you're not a Tolkien fan you will probably won't like it! Loved season one and I'll be starting season 2 soon

Started episode one of season 2 had to do something after 30 mins and have had zero inclination to go back, I just hasn’t grabbed me at all, I think I need to finish it just to see if it’s as bad as they say.

Yeah i can understand that. Its not that i'm not a Tolkien fan, loved the LOTR movies but i've never read the books or really delved into the detail of it. It feels like you need that deeper knowledge of middle earth to really go with the series and not be left a bit lost by it all.

Watched the first half of the series last night.
Yes a decent watch and Sophie Turner is a fine actress.

Watched 'Capital' over w/end....pointless,nothing happened in it at all, spent the entire time waiting for it to start, then it was over!!
Then onto 'Ridley' ....First 2 episodes, like this sort of crime stuff, first was good, second was good but called it in first 5mins.

I’ve read the hobbit and LOTR as well as the movies, a lot of this series doesn’t seem to adhere to a lot of Tolkien stuff I wouldn’t worry about it, apart from a couple of characters which are present in those films I’d never heard of the rest.

I'm assuming there's going to be a follow on series, if her book is anything to go by
