    I've stopped at two for the night. It's great stuff but a bit heavy right before bed.

    I look forward to logging on tomorrow to find Yev having finished it.

    EDIT - Fucking hell, Manc. You should lay hands on some valium if you're seething now.

    Another twist just casually chucked into the mix.

    This is absolutely fucking ludicrous and in ways that keep changing by the minute.

    I've no idea how they string this out for 10 episodes, but that opener. Bloody hell. Quality documentary making.
    But yeah, that's what I thought by the end too. I really wanted to go straight onto the second episode last night but I was too tired. Gonna start it now.

    Episode 4 was slower, but a quite brilliant end to it means we carry on.

    Halfway through now (5 down) and this is up there with the best things I've ever seen.

    Netflix have basically broken regular terrestrial documentaries, maybe even terrestrial tv shows full stop, with it.

    6 down. Another slower one, but things are coming together.

    1 more and then I might need a Maccy D's to keep me going.

    Brilliant.

    I like having shit, pointless goals like this. My quest for the IMDb top 250 is similar in that it's soul destroying and pointless.

    It's not really a goal, I genuinely can't stop watching. I probably should have just read a Wiki article, but what a ride it's been.

    I watched it all in one sitting too. I genuinely don't think I'd have been able to sleep until I'd finished it. I've been on https://www.reddit.com/r/makingamurderer ever since.

    That's part of the reason I decided to watch it all in one sitting. IMHO it'll ruin part of what's a quite brilliant documentary if you Google it.

    The first few posts in here made it sound like utter drivel so to read through and read all the gushing then surprised me.

    This. See? You should listen to what I say.

    Anywho saw 6 episodes of zoo and I am addicted. Dunno if it is the lack of good camera editing or the credibility of animals kicking the humans ass but I am addicted.
    While watching those 6 episodes I took a look at Irobot( what's the point with the long narratives? Narcos should have been a lesson.), flash( better then first season but then again... And limitless... I came back to Zoo

    Binged on Making A Murderer over Friday and yesterday, think I ended up watching the 10 episodes in around 18 hours, having only taken a break to sleep. Superb stuff.

    I got straight on the reddit too - I'm quite amazed at how it took me a fortnight or so to watch it, based on that Joe.IE article, and then it's consumed an entire weekend.

    Zoo is complete drivel, and we were all watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine on the old board.

    Watching the whole thing in one sitting.

    I'll probably be done by Tuesday the earliest, which means I'll miss the discussion.

    I do think it is the best thing I've watched since The Wire.

    Gonna get started on Making A Murderer soon I reckon. Our Mike recommended it about two weeks ago so I've had them downloaded and ready to go for a while. Hope it's good.

    Soz to distract from the Making of a Murderer chat, but I'm into series 3 of Suits and still enjoying it. However, it does feel a bit like they're doing that annoying thing of stretching out plots and storylines about 5 episodes too long to fill time. The friend who recommended it to me says she's up to series 7 and it is still well worth watching, and I'm pretty dubious.

    As a general aside about trashy tv, I have been reminded of my least favourite plot device ever created, which I will call the 'unrealistic misunderstanding', a real staple of the very worst tv dramas and soap operas. E.g. character A hears something bad that character B has done or said from character C, which creates tension which lasts about 4 episodes, whereas in reality character A would confront character B immediately, at which point character B would go 'nah mate, that's bollocks'. Infuriating.

    Also Zoo can be shit but after 6 episodes it's addictive. I do understand that the lack of American tricks may bore the easier minds...

    False, people said that 99 hasn't been as good this year but it picked up after 3/4 episodes and that the Christmas episode was brilliant.

    You're definitely remembering that incorrectly.

    As for 'the lack of American tricks', and the mention of 'easier minds'. Lol. In the first episode of Zoo an inexplicably CGI rhinoceros is scared out of scope of a sniper by a scientist bloke playing James Brown at it. You moaned about long-form narrative earlier, so I'd suggest you're the easily bored one.

    Right, I heard here and there that the Making a Murderer is good. I liked The Jinx, but only ever so much. But this is a lot better, yeah?

    Probably gonna give it a go as soon as the lad is asleep tonight, then.

    It's that, or "The Intern", which admittedly seems entertaining.

    If you're in the mood to watch The Intern you probably don't want to watch Making a Murderer.

    Suits is only on season 5. It's watchable and still enjoyable but it's not groundbreaking by any stretch of the imagination. The misunderstanding are still as frequent.

    Not going to try to look arrogant or anything but rhino reaction is correct. Rhinos are territorial not adventurous. Seems to be a misperception by the easier minds.
