American Murder.

Jesus Christ.

Not recommended. This will cost me some sleep tonight.
I was going to start this last night after hearing things, managed to dodge all spoilers , opened it and seen was only an hour and a half long .

2 mins in , mrs ruins it all. I was so angry and can't explain.

Is it still worth watching even though i know know the basics of what happened ?

I was aware of the case before I watched it, I think its still interesting especially the interviews, its quite an insight into the human mind (trying hard not to spoil for others)

Nothing new but started watching Aquarius this week, about a young Charles Manson with Mulder from X-Files as the policeman, enjoying it so far but only a few episodes in.

If you think your day has gone a bit too well, and you'd like to volunteer to take a serious knock to your mood for quite a long time, then yeah, watch it.

Otherwise, umm, it's just awful and you'd probably rather not have it on your mental plate.

For me the 2 things that stuck in my mind were;



- the police interviews, and his poor dad realising what his son was
- the admission that he took the kids to the "site" and that they were still alive at that point. So no crime of passion, a premeditated plan

Pure evil.

After hearing that Schitt's creek had won awards and was the most popular show during lockdown, I thought I'd give it a go.

First few episodes I wasn't convinced at all but, as I made my way through season 1 and got to know the characters, I started to quite enjoy it. It's a very easy watch when you have 20 mins to kill.

Maybe not a classic but, certainly funnier than I thought it would be.

Yes. And when you get to THAT moment, come back and tell us if you were ready for it even though you knew the ending.

What floored me was the fact he had to drive for the best part of a whole hour contemplating what he intended to do when he got there. I assumed it was some sort of red mist moment in the home where he dispatched everyone rapidly.

Then adding it all together and realising these events had taken place just hours before he makes his initial appearance to the police officer at the beginning of the program, having put up a seemingly normal front to his colleagues for the morning.

Interesting how the neighbour called out his strange manner immediately.

Reading some of the case notes like a saddo on this, he had messaged his colleague on the Sunday afternoon to say he would do the check at that site and "don't bother coming as there is no point both of us being there", his colleague thought it strange he messaged on a weekend but assumed he was just being nice, he had had this planned since spending 5 weeks with his new fancy piece.

If you're going to put up a spoiler it might help people to know what show the spoiler relates to prior to clicking on it.

Appreciated, but I was more concerned with avoiding what others were doing such as quoting spoiler posts in their entirety. Can’t please everyone hehe

Oh yes. Hill House was far and away the best horror tv series I have seen, have to admit to not watching it with the lights off.

Was slightly disappointed that the original show runner/director for the first season is only directing the first ep of Bly Manor but hopefully others will do it justice too.

I know it's been discussed previously but Cobra Kai

It's kinda bad, cheesy, nostalgic nonsense, I love it! We've ripped through S1 and looking forward to S2
