I looked more into his background his mum put him into homes when he was a kid & I definitely reckon he was tampered with back then. He seems to have an anger directed towards bigger, older, white men. That & the p!ssing on signs everywhere. He doesn't just have a random gypsy, he's actively pissing on symbols. Of authority or success or whatever it is.

Weird isn’t it? Also found it strange the 3 main stars were British and had to put on American accents.

Similar with season 2 of White Lotus. The two younger blokes who are American ex college room mates are both English actors. There's also another Londoner who's playing an Essex boy so I bet he was trying to make them slip up.

Hunters S2 is on Amazon now. Bizarre story but absolutely compelling and thought-provoking. How many of those bastards got away with it and lived out their days without ever facing the justice they deserved?

Guess it tried to highlight the juxtaposition of internet fame and the clear signs of a disturbed person. The media just picked him up and ran with him.

The Recruit on Netflix.

Decent enough show about a newly hired COACH lawyer who stumbles into bigger stuff and bluffs his way along.

The lead female role is the woman who was in the Inbetweeners film and White Lines. She's playing a Russian spy.

Kind of a satire of the ultra secret world of spying, very funny moments wherein no-one trusts anyone and it's all about survival!

Just got to the scene in White Lotus where the Essex Boy is drunkenly singing "Bubbles" as he stumbles through Sicily :grin:

I watched this last week
Fair play his mum fronted the documentary but like you say something has gone on as a kid
He became a disturbed young man and that’s before the ending

Anyone watched on Netflix the one about the Frog boys in South Korea

Worth a watch and without spoiling anything an unbelievable abysmal investigation by the police

Started watching Riches last night. Seems ok so far.

The person that wrote it is an English Nigerian lady who grew up watching Dallas & Dynasty & wanted to write something like that involving money, power, family dynamics etc. But from a British Nigerian angle.

Susan Hussey loves it, apparently

Keep your eyes open at the start of March for an Amazon new series called Daisy Jones & the six.
A mini series based on a book set in the late 70's music scene of a band coming together in America.
I watched the 1st episode on Amazon preview and really enjoyed it, great 70's sound tracks and what looks to be a half decent show.
Elvis Presley's granddaughter has the lead.
I only got to see episode 1 but am looking forward to the rest of it.

On Netflix - Jimmy Savile -A British horror story.

f*** me, what a tragedy and so many people culpable in not following through on accusations. There is one clip on a show I don't remember, clunk/click I think it was called where Savile and Gary Glitter were talking, I know with hindsight you never make a mistake, but Jesus wept.

Only downside is that **** never got his commupance while alive!
