I am watching the greatest moments of WWII in colour at the moment. The Midway battle was fascinating, I learnt a lot. Plus just how luck/chance won it for the allies. Incredible.
I think to a degree the Americans made their own luck - trusting instinct etc as to where the fleet was heading and where the pilots should search later. If that's what you're referring to. Do you mention the actual title of the program? I'd like to catch it if possible. 
Were a bit late to it but thoroughly enjoying The Crown.
Don't f with cats is gripping and disturbing in equal measure.
If you like a bit of stand up I'd recommend looking up the specials for these 3:-
Jim Gaffigan
Tom Sugura
Bert Kreischer
Jim doesn't swear at all but he's actually the funniest. The other 2 are a bit more adult but I also really enjoyed them both.
Post up anymore similar if you like the above and found something equally as good.

Just finished Dont F*ck with Cats. Amazing and brilliantly made. A truly sick story. The detective work from the internet sleuths was superb from start to finish.
I spend a fair amount of time on the web and I remember the original cats in a bag and cat and python videos. People were going apes
t. I also remember the internet blowing up over 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick and I remember hearing about the mailing of body parts to the Canadian PM. What I'm surprised about is I never heard the resolution of the story until now and I never realised all those things were linked.

I finished Don't fk with cats. Interesting stuff and the power of the internet / social media at it's best, or worst if you're up to no good.
Reminded of this place a few years ago where some people had the knack of getting to the bottom of something dodgy in under a day.
Anyway, did i see that right that Toronto police set up their own "Secret" facebook page for this group of vigilantes to upload evidence to? Facebook, the most abused platform ever and anything but secret?
Anyway, a good result. Putting the dots together on a seriously cool scale.

The Witcher.
Not for me.
Managed half hour but couldn’t take any more.
I'm hoping it will improve but some bizarre choices for the opening episode for me.Not for me.

The focus should have been Geralt and if they were going to give the young girl's storyline so little development then it should have been shown as quick flashback scenes.

We tried a bit of that Witcher, good special effects but that's commonplace these days.
Thing that put me off was the same thing that puts me off a lot of shows, far too many characters. I just can't be bothered trying to keep track of who is who, and who is trying to do what to who and why.

Finished it this afternoon.
I kept hoping it would get better.
It didn't.
I'd be surprised if it gets renewed.
It's already renewed for Season 2 and I think your view is in the minority (not that there's anything wrong with your opinion, it's not for everyone).I kept hoping it would get better.
It didn't.
I'd be surprised if it gets renewed.
Finished a few things recently;
- The Confession Killer - thought this was great, another scary insight into US justice system 8/10
- Dream/Killer - teenager admits to a murder, and implicates his mate. No evidence whatsoever and some very very dodgy law folk - fascinating and sad 8/10
- Operation Odessa - loved this - 9/10
In the middle of Living with Yourself, decent 7/10 so far

Lost In Space season 2 is up, enjoyed the first one
I’m 2 episodes in to season 2 and so far it’s more of the same really.Like The Witcher I’m not blown away by this incarnation of LiS.
I never truly feel they are “lost” in the same sense that they were in the original series or even the film.
It’s a 6/10 series for me thus far.
