Bairnardo Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Money Heist is an absolutely fantastic series but..... Spoiler The leap for Sierra to suspect Antonãnzas, the leap for Sierra to find the Professor, and the fact that they were unable to shoot Gandia after he executed Nairobi were all total nonsense for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan had total control of the footage. It was known going into the season that this was likely to be the last for Jordan/this Bulls team. Producers approached the NBA with a pitch to film it but without a specific plan. That's why you'll notice no talking head interviews from the time it was filmed. Its all just fly on the wall stuff. The footage just sat in the NBAs archive and over the years the odd director would make a pitch. Spike Lee for example was someone that was linked. Then around the time of ESPN's 30 for 30 there was an attempt to do something. It was really OJs Made in America that created a template for what to do and helped get this made. Before that it was probably always pitched around just the final season, rather than being an all encompassing career retrospective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I am not okay with thisI assume this is from the same writer of the end of the fucking World comics as its got a very similar style and tone. Was initially drawn to it by the fact that there were only 7 x twenty minute long episodes but glad I did.Not quite as good as EOTFW but engaging, funny at times, cringey and enjoyable for a quick watch. Solid performances from the two leads as well who you'll recognise from It. Hell of an ending too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpar Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Finished watching Waco the other day, really good watch, though a bit tough in places when you realise some of that stuff actually happened. I was 8 when the siege happened, I remember seeing the burning building on the news. I think before watching the show and reading more into what happened, I had an idea in my head that the Branch Davidians had clearly done something wrong and had brought what happened on themselves. Obviously we will probably never know the truth about what actually went on and how did what, and David Koresh was clearly a bit mental, but after watching I didn't quite go full Timothy McVeigh but I did feel sorry for them and felt the government and various agencies made an absolute arse of the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Dead To Me - finished Season 2, very good with more twists and plenty of dark humour. Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini work well together as they get away with murder, literally! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieKTID Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Started watching Last Chance U, it focuses on East Mississippi community college football team, basically troubled kids trying to find a way out of their current situation, i've found myself willing those kids to succeed, definitely worth a watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched all 4 (?) seasons and they are a terriffic watch but i would gladly stamp on both head coaches all day long. Its hard to watch some really talented kids piss it up the wall because they can't behave. Highlight of series 1 and 2? Mrs Wagner, she actually cares for the kids and tries to get them the results they need (and a complete milfy wid) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The Last Dance is one of the best sports documentaries for many years. Epic stuff. Good that you get to see a different side to Jordan, almost a bully at times, coming from someone who loved MJ as a player. Must admit, I was absolutely shocked when he was on the brink of tears when the interviewer asked if he thought people saw him as a nice person. Seemed to really hit a nerve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd reccomend Trial by Media as well, I watched the first two episodes of Trial by Media. I was really looking forward to the series but to be honest it was somewhat lacklustre and half way through the second episode I was willing for it to end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
