…Problem with Netflix is that all of their shows have a 10x1 hour format, which is about twice as long as 99% of them should be.If they had made Chernobyl, possibly the greatest piece of television ever made, certainly up there, they’d have dragged it out ten hours and ruined it.

Some shows are worth it but you’re right that they generally overkill stuff, particularly documentaries.

I gave up on the Vietnam documentary for that very reason. It was hugely informative and all that, but it was like watching a long and complex movie every night and was moving at a glacial pace. Not sure if it’s even on Netflix any more.

The Madeline McCann documentary was another one that was about six episodes too long.

[Tim_Riggins]

That’s Ken Burns & PBS in fairness, his standard length of doc. Might have been a bit long in fairness but a lot more to cover.

The likes of the McCann doc is definitely what I was think about, totally drawn out. Even Tiger King was one ep too long imo.

Making a murderer the same. Could have been unraleable altogether if it was a few episodes shorter

[PhattPike]

That’s not very nice.

[Thomas_Brady]

ok, i retract the prick part.

I’m happy to call it the best ever. Watched it 5 times in full.

The McCann documentary had a episode that gave a history of the town in Portugal and how it was a quiet fishing village but then became a tourist hot spot.

In my opinion, that wasn’t hugely relevant to the missing persons case

[flattythehurdler]

A neighbor is a director who’s won a bafta for her work. She asked had I seen it, and I said I hadn’t. She said that if there was any single programme she could have directed/produced, it would have been that.
I expected to be disappointed, but I wasn’t.

[Batigol]

Anyone who hasn’t seen Chernobyl would want to fuck off and die.

@Smark

They lost all those goals for a million and buy Will Grigg for over three million.

And Jack Ross told the Chairman not to spend anything over 1.25 million on Grigg as he wasn’t worth it. Then when Grigg predictably flopped the Chairman blames Ross! You couldn’t make it up.

I thought that Sunderland show was shite… Only watched 3 episodes season 1… Did it take off or something after that?

Ya it becomes something like geordie shore then

For the love of jaysus.

Someone frag this motherfucker

[PhattPike]

It’s practically 10 feature length films for chrissake with the same stupid music playing over and over in the background. We get it, the Yanks got themselves into a right auld muddle.

You weren’t there, you wouldn’t understand man, you wouldn’t understand

[Julio_Geordio]

It’s incredible how stupid some “successful” people are

[the_man_himself]

In fairness I can see the thinking by the chairman behind being so keen to get somebody in. The fans would have flipped if they didn’t get anyone in after selling Maja. That was the problem for the two lads though really, they were obsessed with being loved by the fans

[anon67715551]

To save me stirring my arse can someone tell me is Chernobyl on Netflix?

[Julio_Geordio]

No, sky box sets if that’s any use
