Storyville this week are showing the OJ Simpson documentary series on BBC4. Watched it a few years back when it first came out and it's excellent. More than just a look at his life and ultimate downfall but the social/cultural changes in society from when he started playing football.

Watched it twice now and its great. Prime lockdown viewing for anyone that hasn't seen it.

Would recommend it to everyone, and not only Walt (but especially Walt tbf). It's a comedy set in 1960s France, about a guy who gets drafted into the French secret service. Mainly light hearted humour, but the 1960s setting allows for some quite pointed jokes about how France dealt with the fallout from WW2, and French colonialism (the first two questions he's asked to assess his suitability for the job are which country won WW2 and which country brought civilisation to Africa). Really enjoying it so far.

Same here, think I got about 3 episodes in before giving up, girlfriend hasn't seen any so we are going to rinse it all over the coming weeks.

Random fact : The Netsilik hunter character's real life actor, Johnny Issaluk got outed on social media recently as a wee bit of a predator, and nominations dropped and they wanted him stripped of his governor general's award.
Didn'y have the AMC channel so was keen to watch the series, where can it be viewed, zog?

Im no sure mate. I have cinema APK installed on my Amazon Firestick. Free there. And every other series.
Watched the Curry episode of Ugly Delicious with David Chang a couple of days ago now. They had a chef on it called Floyd Cardoz who's just died from Covid-19. Mental.
