Best shows on TV?

Just watched the first episode of Basketball or nothing on Netflix. I really enjoyed it. I spend a lot of time in that part of Arizona for work (not Chinle but their region.)

Finished this last night. The ending had me in tears. Very proud of those kids.

I started another playthrough on my PC and I spend more time playing Gwent than the game. haha

That said, I grew up plaing Magic the Gathering and loved it. (I'm not a fan of the prebuilt decks they have now - tbh, I don't know much about how the game is now.) I have a lot of great memories of playing MTG.

Haha yeah, I never played until this recent game and it's addictive as hell. I never really played any other card games, except for Pokémon cards way back in middle school.


And yes Rub, nerd is very accurate.

Just found a show on Netflix called Mind Hunters which is a really good take on FBI profilers of serial killers and what makes them tick. It is set in the 70s when this stuff was first really being researched but it is very captivating.

I really enjoyed it, was very interesting.

Highly recommended.

It’s Mindhunter (not plural) and based off the book of the same name by former profiler John Douglas. Much (most?) of it is accurate to Douglas and his experiences and the cases.

Btw, his cameo in the show reminds me that Billy Zane is a damn near spitting image of Brando. I’ve always thought so. He could revive his ****** career if he ever got a killer script and selected to play Brando in a biopic. I don’t know. Maybe that’s like asking Kinkkkkk to play James Dean or something though.

Billy Zane's a freaking genius, he could definitely pull it off. He's that good.

Mind Hunter was fantastic. Can't wait for season 2.

John Douglas is one of the most significant figures in criminal justice history. His advancement of psychological profiling of violent criminals was groundbreaking stuff and many of the things they pioneered are still in use today. If you haven’t read Mindhunter, you should. Douglas has been connected to many of the most prolific and disturbed killers to ever live.

The show takes a lot of creative liberties, but it’s based on real crimes and real people. An awful of of what they used was extremely accurate. Scary as hell. Can’t wait for season 2.

I've been watching "The Loudest Voice in The Room"

It's OK, not great - I had to remind myself to watch the last episode; which isn't a good sign. Crowe underwent quite a transformation to become Roger Ailes. Lots of red meat for left leaning folks. Having Seth McFarlane play one of the main characters is kind of like Clint Eastwood playing Joe Biden in a docu-series about the Obama Administration.

Yeah I echo this, it was watchable, I thought Crowe did a pretty good job. Kind of crazy all the hush money that was paid out.

I saw a episode of Succession which is in season 2, never heard of it before, I thought it was pretty entertaining, Brian Cox is always great, I don't know if anyone else has watched it?

I do like that intro a lot

I have. Out of college, I bought three of his books. Read them. Honestly, it ****ed with my mind after a while. They’re sitting on one of our many book shelves downstairs in the living room. I should probably go and get them and hide them as I don’t need my kids to stumble upon them as at least one of them has pics from crime scenes iirc.
