I've enjoyed the first three episodes of "The Forest", a french thriller about the police in a small town trying to track down a missing girl.

French language trailer:

I watched the Documentary about the Attack on Paris. It was all interviews with people inside the restaurants and the Bataclan, SWAT team members, etc. Quite riveting, what a horror of a night.

It was made by the two French brothers who did a fantastic 911 documentary. They had been in New York at the time doing a documentary on firefighters.

Truth be told, the ending wasn't as satisfying as the lead up. Took the show overall from an 8 to a 6 in my book.

I'd still recommend it, but not as strongly as I might have.

Watched this a few weeks ago too and yeah it was amazing and terrifying at the same time. I’ll admit I had no idea of the magnitude of the attacks. Don’t know if I just forgot or if I was ignorant on the subject, but had no idea there was as much going on that night as what had happened. Listening to the people talk about being trapped inside the bataclan was just something else. Heartbreaking. Definitely a must watch.

Half way through Glow season 2 and they've done a great job of transitioning the show from the exposition of the first season to exploring the the world and characters in the second. You can tell the ladies are really embracing the show and have put a lot of work into improving their technical wrestling, as it has improved from 'mostly terrible' to 'not too bad' which is a hell of an accomplishment for something as painfully difficult as wrestling.

The new intro is great too and I wish they showed it on every episode.

The episode where they realized that they needed to actually become wrestlers was really well done, and it looked painful.


Its a departure from the actual real GLOW where the wrestling was pretty bad with a couple of exceptions.


The girls did try hard and the real life injury in Glow to one of the wrestlers who had an injury so bad that the ref had to pick up one of the Wrestlers Elbow Ligaments off of the match after her elbow exploded was gruesome.

Not sure if it has been recommended in this thread...

If you like the fall and broadchurch, would recommend Safe and The Five. While there are obviously plot gaps, both shows are really well done. Shouts to hinterland and retribution as well.

I watched the documentary the Russian Revolution, a really good watch clocking in at 47 minutes and it focuses on the rivalry between the Romanovs and Lenin's family. What I didn't know is that Lenin's older brother was hung for treason by the Romanov's and most of Lenin's revolution was extremely personal for him.


While the execution of the royal family was politically smart, Lenin pretty much savored the eradication of that family.

Will second the recommendation for Safe. We quite enjoyed it.

Jim Jefferies' new special came out today. As usual, it's fantastic.

Thanks for recommending Safe, I’m really enjoying it!

The only downside is Michael C Hall’s accent. It comes and goes.

Suits is confusing me. Almost done S2. Mike and Harvey are clearly the good guys but Jessica is a piece of garbage and I don’t think they intended to make her the villain. I was happy when Daniel won the vote but I think he’s supposed to be the villain. Maybe I’m biased because I like Wags so much or maybe its bad writing. I can’t really tell. I definitely don’t think they’re supposed to be deep conflicted grey area characters.

Season 2?? You're in the gravy zone. Be prepared to wonder why you keep watching it but still watch it anyway.

Then all of a sudden, they drop an F bomb in Suits which catches you off guard.
