Though I'd start  a thread looking at good series and movies on Netflix, SBS On Demand and ABC Iview (I don't have STAN........yet!)

The Americans

Haha! I agree and I don’t really know why I put it on but gee the statistics they quote are pretty mind blowing. 97% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have had root canal surgery on the same side as the cancer? I’d never heard of any problems at all!

I'm a fan of espionage shows and a lot of the stuff they talk about you pick up from books and movies BUT the people this guy is interviewing are former heads of Mossad, Recruiters, Field Agents, etc..and some of their stories are harrowing. As one former head said as he stood up from the chair.."I've told you way more than I intended!"

As one former head said as he stood up from the chair.."I've told you way more than I intended!" There is a fictional BBC series based on a le Carré novel- The Little Drummer Girl- on a similar theme. I've watched 3 episodes of the 6 part series. Not really grabbing me but it's been well-reviewed. <h1 ="with-subtitle"> </h1><h2 ="panel-ing"> </h2>

Haven't seen le Carre done well on film since Alec Guiness did Smiley. One of the great writers of the 20th C IMO, but a bit hit and miss because he's a bit of an obsessive, broody type. Sorry off topic.

There's one called "What are we watching tonight", fiddles. Maybe in the General section. (Where there's also one called "Cooking" )

wow just finished that Madoff doco last night, what a tragic ending, good grief that was incredible to watch, seriously don't miss this its mind blowing what they were doing, the amount of money and who he was getting it from was unfathomable, the suicides that followed were particularly disturbing. $68 billion in Ponzi scheme, that was valued, but around 20 billion in actual cash, still that is unfkn believable.

He is all through the series, he narrates a lot of it, fascinating what he was doing..when he let loose in congress it was hilarious.

When I first came into this thread I thought Whale had been let off the leash.

Succession is good. 

No wonder your brain is mush Djebel, if you are watching garbage like that..

 Djebel's eyes never look higher than chest level while watching those shows...
