    Seal of approval from two Welly boys. That’s good enough for me.

    Unsolved Mysteries - poor bastardised modern-day version of a program that routinely scared the crap out of me as a child.

    All the eeriness is gone. All of the creepiness has been replaced with simple eye witness accounts and police reports. It's not that the stories aren't interesting or indeed "unsolved mysteries" it's the lack of reenactments and amping up the drama. It's just not the same.

    To this day I think the scariest thing I remember from TV as a kid was the Telly Savalas story "I'll give you a ride" fro the aussie TV show The Extraordinary. Im a grown man and it still gives me the creeps

    I saw that while babysitting ( early 90s ) and yes, eerie as all fuck.

    Treadstone

    Had it on the list for a while, but after binging some other series and smashing Civ 6 until I won, I never got around to it.

    Fairly solid. Some decent fight scenes though I could do without some of the backstory rubbish about the journalist's childhood car accident. The CIA people are acting waaaaaaay over the top for people who are supposed to be psychologically tough.

    War Of The Worlds

    This has just started showing on SBS here - the series based (I guess) on the classic HG Wells novel. 2 eps in so far and pretty good - Gabriel Byrne and American Duchess from Downton are good and the French stuff is pretty good as well. Some interesting dynamics which I'll be watching from here on in on a Thursday night - old school!

    Better than the Tom Cruise version I hope ?

    I might need to give that one a look, I watched the 2019 BBC one last year which was a bit average

    The War of the Worlds (TV Mini Series 2019) ⭐ 5.2 | Drama, History, Sci-Fi

    @NTA I watched the period piece one with Rafe Spall. Some very good ideas and some very scary moments but a lot of boring shit too.

    Finished See on Apple TV+.

    I enjoy these types of TV shows/movies and I thought I'd continue on with the freebies.

    Is For All Mankind worth watching? Anything else?

    @Bovidae I couldnt get into See.

    Finally got around to watching The Last Dance.

    I am not a BB fan, never been, barely watched any of it, yet, the number of players, names (inc coaches) events (Rodman going AWOL) and even many of the actual games I remembered, showed what MJ did to the sport, all time sporting great.

    Top notch doco, just goes to show what that extra bit of desire can do to some people, and what they can then bring out of others around them.

    Me too.

    Last year's BBC version was worse than average - trendy, right-on rubbish with crap CGI. Ruined what has always been my favourite book.
