Decent Recent TV

[Zonda_]

Has anyone watched From? I've heard people say it's kind of like Lost which is obviously not necessarily a slam-dunk depending on your view of that show.

Interview With The Vampire seems to have had some excellent reviews and is now on to S3.

@Beany - I'm looking forward to watching House of the Dragon S3, I've really enjoyed the first two and adjust going to save the 3rd series up.

From is great and I'm not normally a horror fan. It's nothing like Lost though.

Been watching a rise of the nazis/ww2 doc on netflix and while this isn’t new information, the tactics Hitler and his gang used to grab power is pretty much a play by play for MAGA.

When you see it laid out step by step, it’s kind of shocking how brazen it is.

Yep, that's an amazing doc, all of them are pretty good, but the rise one obviously seems the most prescient

Just finished Widow's Bay on Apple TV

Really enjoyed it

Supernatural spooky thing set on a fictional island off the coast of New England

So we watched

I Will Find You on NetFlix.

Started off really strong - E1 totally grabbed both mrs mik and I.

Unfortunately it just slid downhill from there, getting increasingly complex/silly/unconvincing. We only watched the final episode so as not to leave it unclosed.

6 facial birthmarks out of 10.

It was a bit daft. Escaped prisoner whose face is all over the news goes to Times Square but it’s ok because he’s got a baseball cap on so nobody can see him so it’s fine.

14 Peaks - Nothing is Impossible on Netflix

“Nepali mountaineer Nimsdai Purja embarks on a seemingly impossible quest to summit all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks in seven months.”

In the end, he took 6 months and 6 Days

As a feat, this beggars belief. Messner took 14 years ffs. The previous fastest was 7 years 11 months

The climbing nerd in me would liked to have more detail on the actual feat. Which ones were done fast by retaining acclimatisation and how many were slower etc. I’d watch a 14 episode series with one for each mountain.

But the footage is brilliant - well worth checking out

The nearly enviable price for this level of adventure
