I haven't watched this one yet but the podcast episode for R.E.M.'s "Try Not to Breathe" is one of the best of the series.

Finally watching Last Dance.

Is it just me or does MJ have crazy red eyes? It’s almost distracting they’re so red. Even stoners don’t have eyes that red.

My wife and I binged the first season of Derry Girls last night and we're doing S2 tonight. It's hilarious. 6 episodes at 25 minutes each is easy to get through.

Is that the one where the British kid goes to an Irish school and they all hate him?

No, it's the one about four friends in Northern Ireland (Catholic school girls) . One of them has a cousin from England that comes and lives with her. Wife and I really liked it.

I remember this case after seeing the first few minutes, unbelievably sad but no spoilers.

Cant for the life of me comprehend people killing children, now after having a kid and #2 on the way it rattles me pretty bad. Just had a pit in my stomach all night, probably not the best thing to watch before bed.

Sad, just sad.
I actually had a nightmare the night I watched this. And I never have bad dreams. I dreamer that I was on death row related to being convicted of this, and I somehow survived repeated attempts to hang me. And the nightmare lasted all night it seemed like. Very unsettling.

It's a really good documentary but super hard to watch.

Finished S2 and it was great as well. Lots of laugh out loud moments. Good combination of humour and heart. I enjoy these series that take place in the 80s or 90s and take into account world events that I remember and see it from their perspective.

Between this and Moone Boy, the Irish have made a couple great series that are both hilarious and heartfelt.

I can’t believe the number of people that didn’t like Last Dance and wanted some anti MJ slam piece instead. The man’s a legend who is almost peerless in sports. They covered enough of his personality and controversies that I felt it wasn’t too slanted to be pro MJ and gave a wonderful look behind the scenes.

Absolutely loved it.

Late to the party on this show but my wife and I started Schitts creek a week ago and we’re into season 2! Fun show.

We just started - about 6 episodes in and enjoying it.
Except Chris Elliott.
Less Chris Elliott is a rule that can be applied to any show.
Have you ever come across someone who has said "you know who I'm really into...Chris Elliott".

Almost makes it unwatchable. He was great one time, and one time only. “Take my little hand!”

David makes up for it. Might be one of my favourite TV show characters ever.

I think Chris Elliott is a comedic genius. His character starts off really annoying but he gets better as the show goes on. David and Alexis are the real stars of course but I like everyone in the ensemble.

Moira is the star of that show hands down. There is not a scene in that series that she does not steal.

I've been binging Schitt's Creek over the last couple weeks. 1 episode left. I was skeptical but it's been great. The characters have grown to more than the caricatures they started as. The side characters are fun and have a bit of depth too. I don't hate Chris Elliott like others and really liked him in the last few episodes of the series.

Edit: There's a mini-documentary filmed during the production of season 6. Lots of fun interviews with the cast as well as celebrity fans of the show (Cameron Crowe, Carol Burnett, Will Arnett, Paula Abdul, etc.) Netflix doesn't have it but CBC Gem does.

After committing to a fourth season of GLOW, Netflix has reversed course and cancelled the series.

Damn. Really liked that show.

That sucks. It was going to be the final season as well.
