I’m watching Fallout on Prime.

Fellow true crime obsessive here!😁I used to watch an episode or two of Forensic Files every night in bed before going to sleep. I found it strangely comforting. You've tempted me to revisit the show now!
I devour a lot of documentaries on Netflix, Amazon Prime & Sky Crime, although I can be pretty discerning when it comes to quality. Right now I keep meaning to rewatch The Jinx, as the second series has just started airing & I want to refresh my memory.
I'm currently midway through a rewatch of Twin Peaks, including The Return. This used to be one of my favourite shows, but it's not quite as good as I remember. There are moments of sheer brilliance & superb horror, but they're sandwiched in between a lot of badly-acted melodrama & pointless subplots. I'm nearing the end of season two & it's gotten completely ridiculous now. Agent Cooper's still one of my favourite TV characters though. What a guy.
Thank goodness things pick up again with the finale & season three!
In terms of current shows, I'm watching Planet Earth 3. Nobody makes wildlife documentaries like the BBC'S Natural History unit. The camerawork is mind-blowing!
I've also just finished Baby Reindeer on Netflix. Yikes, that was intense. Definitely less comedic & a lot more harrowing than I expected. Terrific performances. The show has been generating a lot of interesting commentary & debate online, along with the inevitable backlash.
I definitely recommend the original UK run of Ghosts! It's got a charming light-hearted tone, while also tackling some heavy themes. Witty writing with nicely fleshed-out characters. The show maintains its high quality throughout all five seasons & is well worth a watch.
Any other fans of Inside No 9 here? The final series starts next week & I can't wait! It's the perfect blend of horror & dark comedy in sumptuous thirty-minute slices.
Does anyone else have a ridiculously long watchlist that just keeps extending? :drunk:
There are so many older shows that I want to rewatch too, like the first ten or so seasons of The Simpsons. Those Golden Years are right up there in my favourite shows of all time. It's really gone downhill since; I wish they'd killed it off years ago. They could have learned a lesson from Seinfeld & gone out on a high note!
BlackCurtains:
Ooh, I didn't know Planet Earth III was out! Yes, I agree. The best nature documentaries ever. They always seem to catch something on film never seen before and I like that it focuses on more obscure animals and places.

Watched the first episode of Knuckles last weekend. It's...ok. Pretty cheesy and my husband and I agreed we can only stomach one episode a day. We have still only watched the first episode. XP We also started watching Fallout. There's no way I'd ever play the game but surprisingly the show has grown on me.
