We have enough complex and engaging characters in our families. We look for an escape from reality from our entertainment. That description does what the trailer for the show did. Not for us.

I'm a huge Shandling fan. Two things are clear: his mother was a narcissist, and she clearly passed that on to her son.

I'm an escapist guy. Most of the books I like are "genre". So are most of the TV shows and films I'm attracted to.
But this show grabbed me. Every single character was - to me - fascinating.
One other thing about this show....... I'm an atheist, but I thought it did the best job I've ever seen on TV in presenting characters who were of faith. Most entertainment media portrays religious folks as either backwards buffoons or genuflects to them (or makes them exotic unicorns if they are of a non-Christian faith). These characters who practice are like people I know.
I have a feeling that this show was an unburdening of some kind for the showrunner Ray McKinnon. He's on my shortlist with Vince Gilligan of people I'll give whatever project they come up with next a good, long shot.

. Did a Roku search last weekend for Netflix Lost in Space and got this result . I thought that I had the right show (didn't read anything and didn't know it was really a movie). The first 20 minutes was SO bad, I thought the world had gone off it's rocker. Then somebody told me I had the wrong one, showed me that trailer and all was right in the world again. Had some decent stars too. Looking forward to the right one

Really? I thought the focus was on the BTK killer. I didn't know anything about him but it was mentioned earlier in the thread. I guess they can have more than one but manson alone seems worth a whole season.
So were the two guys based on real people?
BustedKnuckles
Footballguy
the whole show is based on fact from my understanding...everyone ,both FBI and killers,are real people
jamny
Footballguy
Cool. I know the killers, at least those in the prison interviews were real. I just thought the 2 main guys were built into the story.

So, what’s to come in Mindhunter season two? We already know a few things: Director and executive producer David Fincher told Billboardthat one of the major cases will be the Atlanta child murders of 1979 to 1981, in which a serial killer took the lives of 28 African-Americans, mostly children under the age of 15. In an interview with Vulture, Holt McCallany suggested that the show might feature Charles Manson and David Berkowitz, two serial killers who were briefly mentioned during season one.

Didn’t realize this was on Prime not Netflix. We have it but only have the app on one TV and kind of a pain to use it. I’ll check it out thought

Season 1 was great. Got a few episodes into season 2 and kind of lost interest. Might pick it back up
Still don’t get they hate for dubbed Dark. Thought it was fine. Started Babylon Berlin and that’s some bad dubbingjamny said:

I guess I was confusing the two. I knew one of them had a horrible overdub. Good to know that Dark wasn't bad. That might jump it up the rankings for the wife at least.

Really? I found it distractingly bad, even though I liked it. Really wish I'd watched it dubbed.

Through 2 episodes of Lost In Space. It's ok, not great. I'm kind of sick of shows showing us how the characters got into their present predicament via flashback. Production values are top notch and I like the dynamic with the characters so far.

My wife watches it - every time I catch a few minutes or see a promo for it I think - “why the hell would somebody watch this?” - seems depressing as hell.jamny said:

Have you done Happy Valley?jamny said:
2 Short seasons.
British crime drama with very good acting and storyline.
S 3 should come out within a year so you would easily be caught up and have a break in between.

Thats been on my queue forever. I remember a lot of good reviews for it. I'll look into it again...thx!

I grew up thereThis is a crazy story, and I can't believe I had never really heard anything about it previously.
I had initially gotten a little bored with the story to the point of falling asleep while watching. I picked it up again in episode 5I've now gone back to previous episodes that I pretty much slept though.
I had the misfortune to spend a couple weeks in The Dalles, OR earlier this year. I ate at the Burgerville shown several times in one of the episodes. Stayed at a ####-hole called The Dalles Inn right across the street from the Burgerville. I wish I would have known about this story at that time.

The Gorge is absolutely wonderful spring/summer/fall. Miserable in the winter. I grew up and still live about an hour from where Rajneesh set up their compound and was in grade school while all of this was going on. Did not realize till last night they were the subject of this doc. Gotta watch it now.

I am surprised at how little known this is. I was in my early teens when that all went down and I remember being very intrigued by the whole thing. I remember the huge lines of people all dressed in orange or pink or whatever and the line of rolls royces driving down the road between them. At the time I thought this guy must be a huge charlatan and all those people must be brainwashed. After watching the documentary, I actually now have a different opinion about the whole thing.
Don't get me wrong, I still think they're nuts...but now I kind of look at them more like a bunch of hippies than a bunch of brainwashed prisoners.

I lived outside of the Dalles on a ranch but that's where we went to get everything. Lived there from 80-84.
The Dalles itself is just a blue collar town nothing special. It gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I wouldn't want to live in the Dalles proper but once you get out of town it's beautiful with mountains forests lakes rivers and rolling hills all over the place. If you like the outdoors it's hard to beat.
The best thing that comes from the Dalles is cherries.
Very raunchy, but good. The main actress/creator of Fleabag has another brand new show on BBC America if you have access to it (I get it via sling). She's not in it but created and writes for it called "Killing Eve". First episode was very good imo... It's about a female cop and the female assassin she's after. It's on Sundays but I saw on demand thru sling.

Excellent show. The accents were a little harsh IIRC, but nary a complaint outside of that.

No I wasnt rajneesh. We hated them. They took over the town of Antelope which was an hour away. They poisoned the salad bar at sizzler I think at one point.Were you Rajneesh?
The Dalles itself just looked and felt dirty when we were there. Never felt unsafe, just dirty. The landscape outside of town was nice though. It was cold but I did some hiking in Tom McCall preserve.
One time a car full of rajneesh came down our driveway which was a qtr mile gravel road. Pulled up in front of the house I was the only one there, I was about 15.
Asked if we had any sheet plastic to sell because they were going camping and worried about the rain. I said yeah we do hold on one second. So I went in the house and grabbed my shotgun and came back out and told them to get the duck off my land

In 5th grade we went to Outdoor School at Camp Hancock, just a little ways away from the Rajneesh compound. Our teachers piled us on the bus and drove us to the rim of the canyon they were in so we could watch the freak show for a while. It was just part of life in this area for several years.

I just googled "lifetime network shows about cheating husband" to make fun of this show... and Dr Foster was top of the googles. Apparently, it either IS a lifetime show, or googles breaking your balls.Idk

I hold this thread in high regard. We CAN’T be recommending Lifetime shows.

I fell on the sword because of these recommendations- watched the whole damned thing even after my wife gave up on it... because the guys on the nerd board recommended it. Let me reiterate.. even my wife gave up on it. But I kept plugging away despite the poor production values, ham handed writing and acting and cliched lifetime style story line...because it was recommended in here.
ETA... Did I mention that even my wife cut bait on this pos?
