Watching the first Dirty Money ep and it's about the VW scandal. They're doing a bit of history and use some footage of a 2CV as a '60's VW Beetle laugh
Nearly binged all the of the episodes now, I wish there were more. My favourite so far has to be the HSBC episode, really eye opening and how they can get away with that bullsh!t is incredible.

Has Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee been mentioned? Jerry Seinfeld drives a series of interesting classics picking up a fellow funny person for a drive and a drink.

17-20 min episodes too so nice and digestible.

Started watching these to fill the void that Unabomber left (great series, just pipped Mindhunter and The Sinner). As you say, nice and digestible and thoroughly enjoyable.

The Kevin Hart one is great if only for the Porsche RSK Spyder cloud9

Dirty Money has some really interesting episodes. The ones about the VW scandal and one about Trump are particularly good.
The Payday loans one was interesting, I enjoyed listening to both sides of the story and how Tucker & Co tried to paint themselves as the victims of the evil FTC, FBI etc.

I was astounded they agreed to be on the show. But they thought they were squeaky clean and would be seen as the good guys I guess. Bet they regret it now - it’s not like anyone would have sympathy for someone losing those Ferrari collection!

I thought the same thing! But then there was the section with the fake reporter and wanting to be a celeb etc. it all began to make sense after that. Some people really do have their head in the clouds.

Watched Horns last night with Daniel Radcliffe, got panned by critics but I quite enjoyed it.

Dirty Money is ace, the drugs one is a real eye opener!

You get one episode per week because it's not a Netflix Original, rather they have the international distribution rights.

We really enjoyed Ozark and are looking forward to series 2.

We also enjoyed Finest Hours recently on Netflix, a true story and well told film. On Feb. 18, 1952, a massive storm splits the SS Pendleton in two, trapping more than 30 sailors inside the tanker's sinking stern. Engineer Ray Sybert bravely takes charge to organize a strategy for his fellow survivors. As word of the disaster reaches the Coast Guard in Chatham, Mass., Chief Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff orders a daring rescue mission. Despite the ferocious weather, coxswain Bernie Webber takes three men on a lifeboat to try and save the crew against seemingly impossible odds.

I just finished Dark - a German series. Not usually into kind of Sci-Fi but thought I'd give it a go, wasn't bad, a bit weird though and worth watching if you're into that sort of thing. I'm not sure I'd call it Sci-Fi per se....it's just a bit weird.

Just finished watching Fargo Series 3.

Every bit as absorbing as the first two series and didn't want it to end..!

Love the way this shows is written and produced.

David Thewlis (as V.M. Varga) was just brilliant. A real panto villain! hehe

Cracking series, indeed. Although I will say I think S1 was the best.....but yes, VM Varga was played incredibly well!
