Has anybody else watched "making a murderer" on netflix yet? brilliant documentary/tv series, probably the most compelling tv show I've seen for a good while, highly recomended

[donnermeat]

4 episodes in, going to watch a couple more tonight.

[donnermeat]

Just finished it. Dumbfounded.

[J*B]

Once you've done Making A Murderer watch "the jinx" and "whitey".

[T J Hooker]

Yep,

I think the show was to biased in averys side for me to discuss decide whether i think he did it or not, but what it does show for certain is what a complete perverted, corrupt farce the american legal system and police force are.

What they did to that 16 year old boy was disgusting.

[T J Hooker]

yes it was, still though I think the show makers edited it and altered the timeline a little in the boys favour, but you're right though they did seem to stitch him right up and take advantage of his lack of mental ability and them using those methods alone should have been enough for any decent judge and jury to throw the case against him out of court(regardless of whether he was actually involved in the murder or not)

[T J Hooker]

It will be fascinating to find out what happens now that the Averys have millions of people on their side and top lawyers taking on the case for them, it personally doesn't sit right with me the way an edited and pretty much one sided tv show is having so much influence over a real life event surrounding the murder of a women, but then again if the courts had just done their jobs right in the first place........

You guys should really take advantage of the spoiler tags when discussing shows that other people might not have watched.

[T J Hooker]

its a 10+ year old real life case there's nothing to spoil, its not bloody game of thrones ha, trust me and just give it a watch(you'll be hooked after 1 episode I guarantee)

I wouldn't say I said anything particularly spoiler worthy, besides which in the grand scheme of things what has been said couldn't change what a powerful programme it is.

I'm watching The Shannara Chronicles. Why I don't know lol

never heard of it before but just watched the trailer and it looks good fun and something different, any good?

It's good, a mix of Narnia, Game of Thrones etc. Or at least something like that. If you into the fantasy type genre, then you will like it. Im enjoying it, but I'm more intrigued at the plot and the visuals and so on

[T J Hooker]

what channel/service is it showing on?

[J*B]

I'd be extremely wary of fully believing anything on TV - especially 'reality' and documentaries unless someone like Theroux involved. When something has been filmed over that amount of time, there is an incentive to get a product - which cuts at a certain time, a fade out on a scene or music building up to a point would all provide. The case files, in some parts, tell a slightly different story although I work in TV not law and I can't say I've read the full court scripts.

Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.

Follow that mantra in life and you won't go far wrong.

[Jock]

Has anyone seen Rake? Just started watching and it's a lawyer based series. A bit silly at times but entertaining.

Thought The Jinx was even better than Making A Murderer but not watched Whitey yet. After googling it I see it's about the guy Black Mass was based on, will give it a go tomorrow night.

MAM shocked me. The Jinx blew my mind.

thats why i bloody hate discovery, because of Shark week the fools. Loads of those episodes were fake, especially the one in Cape Town which turn out to be a fake. I used to love Shark Week, but what a load of @#/?

[T J Hooker]

They never have a moth week, those furry winged little black devil's scare me far more than any big cuddly shark

Great show that seems to pass under a lot of folk's radar- The Americans.

Season 4 starts next month, well worth catching up on if you've not seen it.

Great show especially as their children grow up being REAL Americans.
