Of course you'd love yennifer lol.

I can't stand her at all. Her character is directionless. The actress is pretty mediocre (though beautiful), and I don't buy the love at all. Her going from not knowing any magic at all to being the most powerful mage in the universe was so over the top fast and made no sense to me.

Geralt and the bars are by far the 2 best characters.

They did some weird stuff with time in the show. Yennifer, Geralt and Ciri aren’t on the same timeline. Yennifer’s story takes 70 years to happen. Geralt’s takes 20. Ciri is about two weeks (according the show runner). I’m not sure they did a great job making the time jumps clear. Her gaining all that power doesn’t really happen fast, it just seems like it does.

It took me 4 episodes to realize that the timelines weren't concurrent. I was very confused at times. They did a horrible job, and honestly I didn't know that's what the time frame was...It was extremely hard to decipher.

It’s a documentary — just one film — about the Cali cartel’s attempt to buy a Russian submarine. You just have to watch it.

Thanks, I meant you mentioned 2, but at the time I wasn't sure if that was one movie with a long name or 2 movies with short names. But I used a top-secret tool called Google to crack that code.

For those of y'all who are Breaking Bad aficionados like moi and yet for some bizarre reason did not get into Better Call Saul when it came out 4-5 years ago, I highly recommend binging it from the beginning.

It really is one of the best shows on TV...very well crafted and the acting by Bob Odenkirk(aka Saul Goodman), Jonathan Banks(aka Mike) etc etc is off the hook great. And as a bonus, you get to see some of the characters from Breaking Bad before Walter White came around.

Anyways, there's my pubic service announcement for the day and so go do yourselves a favor and check out Better Call Saul....lol

Oh I lied...one more recommendation. To those of y'all who never watched Homeland from the beginning...go do it. Other than a season or two of the 8 total, where the show kind of went a bit off the rails, pretty much every season has been terrific. with this season the final one being no exception as it's been very good as well.

So go do Homeland if your not going to do Better Call Saul....you won't regret it.

Thanks, I saw it, pretty crazy, but I'll be honest I was a bit disappointed. It was a good, but not great documentary. It was on Netflix top 10 so I was expecting more.

I'm third episode in. After this I'll watch Seven Five. Figure it'd make a good pairing.

I'm in Seven Five now. Just curious, why do you feel the way you do about HDYFADS?

It was just a bit slow. Came off as a little bit low budget. I watch a lot of documentaries and this one didn't stand out. The storytelling was dry and unexciting. I didn't hate it or anything, I was just expecting more for a top 10 show that was featured on Netflix. Those are usually the highest quality. It was an average Netflix documentary which is still very good.

The pace didn't bother me at all. And four episodes represented a quick bite.

Finished Seven Five. Did they ever explain why Dowd served only 12 years?

Now onto Operation Odessa.

I don't remember. What I find amazing is all of these documentaries with terrible criminals and they're interviewed in their street clothes in the privacy of their own homes. No one serves much time it seems.

I understand they're interviewed for a purpose but I don't like the glorification of them as part of the result.

I'll be honest, without the glorification I feel like I wouldn't be as interested. Unless it's something like "The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez" or "The Devil Next Door", I want to relate to these people in some way. If I was just appalled the entire time I wouldn't be as interested in most of these documentaries.

Agreed. I’m guilty. If I didn’t find Pablo Escobar interesting and fascinating I’d be lying and I’m aware of every despicable thing he did.
