Eric. A six episode series on Netflix. Really good. It has Benedict Cumberbatch, one of my favorite actors. It tells the story of a nine year old boy disappearing on his way to school, in New York. (And, it takes place sometime in the 1980's). But, as the story unfolds, it's about so much more than a boy getting lost. I don't want to reveal anything here, but I would highly recommend it. Great story, great acting, and really good filming and directing.

Hi,

Ann Rice's best work is in her bunch of Erotica novels, many of which also take on a bit of pornography. 

There are some important things here ... it takes "vampirism" away from its religious BS, and all of a sudden the stories are more interesting and take on different directions, than what we manage to find all the time in every danged vampire story ... always the same thing!

"Interview with a Vampire" would be way better, if it went full blast into the erotic style of hers. It would be a homosexual thing, but then that's like saying we never enjoyed the women thing in any of the vampire novels, going way back to Sheridan Le Fanu some 200+ years ago!

Hi,

Wow ... I definitely would like to see this ... the movie by Nicolas Roeg was excellent, even though there were some major cuts that took out a lot of the music material ... which I think was really good, per the albums that came out at the time ... and probably more music that we have not heard yet, or never will!

The fudging video is not available to watch in the West Coast (Amazon) ... gawd I hate some of this crap sometimes ... it hurts the art really bad!

Manhunt 2024 7 episodes
About the events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, interesting to learn about Andrew Johnson's presidency as he tries to put the brakes on America's reconstruction post the abolishment of slavery and the end of the civil war. The key character in this drama though is Lincoln's staunch alley Edwin Stanton (played by Tobias Menzies who also played Prince Philip in The Crown) who held the office Secretary Of War and goes up against Johnson as well as leading the manhunt for Lincoln's killer John Wilkes Booth. 7/10

The Red King 2024 6 episodes
Set on a small Welsh island, this has Wicker Man vibes all over it. I enjoyed the creative writing, strong acting and satisfying ending. 9/10

Tree On A Hill 2024 6 episodes
Another Welsh located TV drama, this is even more weird than The Red King and is centred around a very ordinary midddle aged couple who commit a crime, allbeit accidentally, and then find themselves getting in deeper trying to cover it up. Quirky and fun. 8/10

Sweet Tooth Season 3 (the last one). The first series was great, the second not so much. This final season is a return to form and seems to be heading to a satisfactory conclusion.

Finished series 3 of Sweet Tooth last night. A good conclusion - I liked it (se02 notwithstanding). 8/10 overall.

A 3 part documentary/drama on UK Ch4 - The Fall: Skydive Murder Plot. 

This is a true story about a woman who was supposed to die
In 2015, skydiver Victoria Cilliers miraculously survived a 4,000-foot fall to the ground when both of her parachutes failed on a jump. It soon becomes clear that this 'accident' was actually attempted murder... and her husband Emile is the prime suspect.

Hear from Victoria in her first in-depth TV interview in this innovative True Crime docudrama.

The drama elements are done in a very strange way and 3 episodes are maybe a bit too long. Fascinating stuff though.
