I'm very confused by this site. I've had this recommended a couple times and both times the link provided shows no titles under "list of 4k shows available on Netflix". Does it come that way for everyone else?
I caught the first episode and wasn't immediately drawn in to it. I had read a few of the Bundy related biographies and knew some of the backstory already. Maybe the first episode is meant as an intro, which is fine if it improves in the next episode. My main complaint thought is how this documentary is cut together. It was like a really long slide show, where a lot of it wasn't really necessary. This actually might have been better done as a dramatization like "Manhunter: Unabomber".
I agree on the new Bundy series. Well done and I liked how they went back and forth between the crimes and the interview. Its so unsettling how charming and in control he seems.
On a different note, I got into Peaky Blinders a couple weeks ago. What a great show that is too!

Speaking of Mindhunter, S2 is back in June apparently.
Talk about gear grinder (admittedly a first world one). What happened to the good 'ol days when tv shows had a few months between seasons?? I understand it is different with a single day release of all episodes, but 20 months between seasons?? And this is increasingly common with standard once per week shows anyway.
First show I recall doing this was BattleStar Galactica with the last season, but maybe some other show started this madness. You'd think these shows risk losing a big chunk their audience with such a long wait.

I thought the delays with BSG were due to the writers strike happening at the worst time for them.

Good point, that would have been around that time I believe.
Anyway, I get the logic for these 1 year+ waits is higher production standards, tougher schedules to accommodate with the more high profile actors... Still, sucks having to wait so long between seasons. The Mindhunter wait struck a nerve with me as I think it has the potential to be the best original series Netflix has put out.
This starts tomorrow. It's kinda like Groundhog Day in reverse. I like Natasha Lyonne and it's getting good reviews so I'm looking forward to watching it.

I’ll watch that just for the Crimson and Clover theme.

There are parallels to be drawn between the growing influence and availability of Netflix programming around the world and the colonialism of the British and French empires, CBC president Catherine Tait said Thursday. https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainmen...logy-1.5000657
she warned, a foreign company taking up an increasingly larger role in a country's cultural industry comes with a price.
"Fast forward to what happens after imperialism and the damage that can do to local communities," Tait said. "So all I would say is, let us be mindful of how it is we as Canadians respond to global companies coming into our country."

That was a terrible article. And is rich coming from a company thats only in business on the back of taxpayers.
I wouldn't say the article is terrible because there are some truths to cultural influence through external media, but Weitz is right that the source is definitely influenced by their own funding. I love the CBC and a lot of what it's brought to Canadian culture but it would have been gone a long time ago if it wasn't propped up by public money.
All three Back to the Future movies are back. And the last 4 HP movies. And Traffic. What an excellent movie. So many good performances. Michael Douglas, Benicia Del Toro, Don Cheadle, Topher Grace (yes, the real venom).
