Restaurants on the Edge is another restaurant rescue show. There is an episode about a restaurant in Tobermory, one of my favourite parts of Ontario, the Bruce Peninsula. If you like this type of show, they go to a lot of interesting locations.

Watching just for the scenery in Tobermory is worth it.

Dirty Money is frustratingly good. Every episode makes me hate the world a little more.

Hahaha! Yeah...I love it because I find Financial Fraud and malfeasance to be fascinating...but its amazing how far people and companies will go for money.

I always find when I'm watching Gangster movies or Crime films that the antagonists always justify their brutish and unconscionable behaviour as; "its just business."

But....no. No its not. But then...yes. Yes it is.

Because you see these documentaries and stories and the ultimate punishments for the perpetrators is laughable.

Kingdom has things I hate. Zombies, occasionally cheesy acting.

But I love Kingdom. Just when you think it's taking a cliched meander into one of its subgenres it hard pivots to another one. The show is just entertaining.

If you like racing then watch Formula 1: The Drive to Survive. It really captures the pageantry and drama of F1.

Watched the hell out of season 1 of "The Sinner"

what a bizarre experience.

Pullman is amazing.

also watched 'horse girl', super weird, very enjoyable.

As someone who has only watched the odd race, this series is still really entertaining and we'll done. Have been on a bit of a binge the last few days and going to be sad there isn't another season upcoming.

New Bert Kreischer comedy special "Hey Big Boy" is out today. He is one of mine and the wifes favorites, so we will be all over that tonight.

Sinner:
A mindf*** like that doesn't work without that level of acting.
There isn't a big drop off in season two, I really enjoyed the sidekick they give him for it.

I'm finding season 2 a huge pain to get through. It just hasn't caught my attention at all.

I'm on the 2nd last episode and watching sped up a good amount because I just want to finish it already.

Binged Tiger King. What a wacko cast of characters. Not to be on moral high ground, but every single one of those people were in it for the money and were scumbags. A four part series that was dragged out to 7, but was interesting nonetheless. Florida really is made up of a bunch of crazies.

Thanks for the tip on Formula 1, I'm really enjoying it. I'm old and TV on the weekends when I was growing up was very limited, I used to watch a lot of sports because nothing else was on. I watched some Formula 1 back then, remember well the stories around Niki Lauda, etc. This is obviously very different, but all the behind the scenes stuff is really interesting, and the soap opera that goes on between drivers etc. is crazy.

The money that is spent on this really bothers me though. Maybe due to what is going on in the world, but there is so much more that could be done with Billions of dollars than spend it on cars racing around a track.

Formula 1 is a hilarious exercise in excess. It's absolutely bonkers. All so 20 drivers can race around a track for 2 hours. Totally pointless. And I just love it.


I guess the same can be said for movies, football, baseball, hockey etc. F1 has just found a way to do it in the most excessive way possible.

Season 3 of Ozark on March 27 if that is your thing.

I'm only 3 episodes in and the best way to describe this show is "Jack Hanna on Meth". It is a wild, wild show.

100 humans was a fun quick watch.

There were allot of times where I thought they could have controlled or blinded the studies better. Or even that they measured something different from what they thought they were measuring. But it kinda has the early mythbusters feel to it, where they're thinking to themselves "I can't believe they're paying me to do this ####".


Example of bad experimental method.

Spoiler!

When they're passing the ball for reward or punishment, they do reward first and punishment second. To show punishment is more motivating, but they didn't account for the experience of having a practice round.

Also when they did the memory thing for battle of the ages, they just tallied up the numbers of people who made it all the way to the end, not considering the rate at which the dropped out early on.

Tiger king.

What in the #### did I just watch.

if any part of this show was a SNL or SCTV skit , people would be like 'yeah right a bit much'..
