The only normal bits are Cusacks hair dye, facelift and eye makeup...
Binged it in three days. Average. Just made me remember how fucking brilliant the original was, so am now halfway through that again. Mind-blowing, you can see why the conspiracy nutters are all over covid-19. I mean, we're actually living through the third series in real life 😬
I didn’t even know there was an original....
For real? There was massive buzz around it at the time. Check it out - it's fantastic TV - one of the best series ever

POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT
@Leroy Ambrose is this the synopsis of the first, UK, version: "The Utopia Experiments is a legendary graphic novel shrouded in mystery. When a group of strangers find themselves in possession of an original manuscript, their lives suddenly and brutally implode"?

Im not a huge Stephen King fan but I appreciate the many nods to his characters etc. JJ Abrhams clearly stamped his own style on it which is both good and bad.

Its decent.
Watched this on Starz a few month ago. Found it very good. If you're watching on Starz, try Mr Mercedes next... this was another level
Loads of tits and shagging in it, I dont like the main character one bit. He's so fucking vague about everything then things just fall into place even though his poor decision making constantly trips him up
His wingman Tommy is an excellent character though
Not a lot to it, its an easy watch but it doesn't really go anywhere and there are so many characters I dont care about it makes it hard to be shocked when they put a scene in to shock the audience
I'll give it another few episodes but compared to something similar like SoA it is lagging hugely

Power is brilliant , has literally everything! i wouldn't say i dislike Jamie but agree and prefer Tommy's character.
Just started Power- Ghost 2. or whatever its called only a few episodes in as being released weekly on Amazon, once you have finished the original i recommend jumping in, follows his Son, not really a spin off just an extension. Only shame is its on Amazon Prime (pay extra as star play £2 per month on top), would be easier to watch on netflix
Netflix docufilm American Murder: family next door.
Wow
Indeed.
I remembered reading about the case, but to see the real-time footage of the investigation was pretty chilling.
Just an awful and depressing programme to watch. Why even make it? Usually these things are made as there is a twist or misjustice. This is just awful.

Feels mean and voyeuristic doesn't it?
As you say it's gone from the likes of Serial and Making a Murderer where it's querying if justice has been done to simply "look how horrific this is!"

There's a certain satisfaction to be gained from knowing that Chris Watts would have absolutely hated that coming out for everyone to see.
But late to the party with Homecoming but I really enjoyed it. Obviously has a Mr Robot type feel to it, but is basically just a mystery story. Loved the use of soundtracks from other films in series 1 - gave it a really unsettling feel. Also felt the main character was a really really good fit for the role. Suspect we'll see a lot of him in the next few years. Ditto the two female leads in the second series.

I've watched and read many of these true crime stories. Seriously though,what was going through this fellas head at the time?
I've heard some pretty f****d up scenarios but this one trumps the lot by some distance.

The main difference between this and many other family annihilation cases was that he didn’t kill himself after. The bloke is clearly a cold blooded wrongen. Those pleas on the news with him slowly blinking made me shudder. Even his confession to his father seemed completely fake. He has the characteristics of a serial killer.
Just seen that The Haunting of Bly Manor is out on Netflix. That's my weekend viewing sorted, The Haunting of Hill House was superb
That does sound good. Thanks for the tip. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on Monday! 9 episodes puts me off though. Wonder if its a bit padded out

I've only ended up watching one over the weekend but thought it was great, properly spooky. Looking forward to the rest

Shame that Tuesday sees the last episode though i'm sure they will make more as it has been bossing the ratings.

They have just discovered the obviously shady character looking after Ghost is the Serbian cannibal
