Netflix

Am giddy in anticipation.

I blitzed through Detroiters there recently. For a somewhat conventional television comedy, there were loads of ITYSLisms.

I must take a look. Might rewatch seasons 1 and 2 if ITYSL too

Watched the first 2 new episodes of black mirror. Great to pass an hiur

Only thing that’s got me excited in netflix in 1 year+. Fingers crossed its up to the pre-bandersnatch quality.

It was already goimg to shit pre bandersnatch.

Watched the first one last night - struggled to hold my attention

I’ve watched first two- called the twist early in both which isn’t a good sign. Still better tv than most

First one was hopeless shite altogether

The Deepest Breath

Only getting around to that Tour de France doco. I know next to nothing about professional cycling, but it’s not bad.

If you watch one thing on Netflix, watch this.
Extraordinary story, I never knew anything about this guy. Brilliant doco, bloody amazing Irishman.

A long read but you will enjoy this by the great Gary Smith

Watched it last night. Gripping story. I’m obviously missing something about why the safety crew have to free dive.

If you have the scuba gear you can’t ascend back up as quick as the free diver as they could get air bubbles from the nitrogen they use.

The reviews for this are off the charts, I cant wait to give it a spin.

It’s brilliant mate, but be prepared for a hard watch.

It’s good, started well, but turned into a hagiography rather than an exploration of the sport.
The Big Blue is better, as was an obscure documentary some years ago about a freedive team I think from England, oddballs to a man. A couple of folk died during it.

Thing I wonder, is once a body goes below 30m, and starts getting pushed down, is that it forever, ie that it won’t ever float up again? I always thought that they weighed bodies down in order to stop them floating when they bloated.
