Didn't see it mentioned above....watch Peaky Blinders. As good as any mentioned here.

Narcos is well worth your time, but needs to actually be watched attentively because of all the subtitles.

Three episodes into Following. Wife and I looked at each other last night and decided at the same time that we've probably had enough. It is good and tense, but mostly depressing. Like watching Silence of the Lambs three nights in a row.


Not new by any means, but if you haven't watched it in last year or two, Firefly is always good even second or third or sixth time around.





Man I thought The Following was going south.Based on your assessment and the way last season ended I think I'll pass on wasting any time on it.

Thanks

We only got through a few episodes of The Following and I acknowledge it is a good show. Probably many (most) will enjoy it more than we did. Just a bit depressing and dark for us.

However, we stumbled into the opposite end of the spectrum. I HIGHLY recommend Detectorists! Classic dry British humor. Laugh out loud funny.

Well the documentary certainly makes you think he did not. I'm a little on the fence. It looks like evidence was definitely planted. But cops killing an innocent woman to frame a local country boy that they didn't like? Seems a big stretch to me.

The thing that bothers me..... Was he really stupid enough to kill that woman when he was right on the verge of a huge settlement in his original wrongful conviction lawsuit? He was all set to be a millionaire.

I just saw over the weekend that Avery recently got a new high powered attorney. The new lawyer implied strongly that there is a new blood test to check for EDTA.

^ people have killed for a lot less. He was sueing the Mantiwoc police for like 36 million. Every piece of evidence they found on him was discovered by the Mantiwoc police department. Why the hell were they involved in the investigation.

'Turn' -- very good, but I did have a little trouble keeping characters straight.

Amazon Prime: 'Man in the High Castle' -- Great premise and very well done -- alternative history..."What if the Axis won WWII?" Left coast is Japanese, East Coast is German and the Rockies are no-man's land....great series

I am on the 3rd season of Fringe. I will have to go back and re-watch from the beginning at some point. You have to pay attention from the very beginning as there is a lot going on and you can get lost. It's a sci-fi movie where an FBI team tries to solve cases. Some of the cases are quite strange.

Agree 100%. There was a lot of stink on some of those cops.... particularly Lenk.

ThumpUp Jessica Jones was good.

Started watching Spartacus. Make sure the kids aren't around when you watch it though; a lot of blood and other things they shouldn't see.

When you get done, let me know what you think.

Avery's junkyard is only a 3o minute drive away from the house.

Spartacus was so good. I was so disappointed when they changed the main actor that I considered stop watching. But then I found out he got leukemia and died in like 4 months so I kept watching! Then I got distracted by naked girls...

Star Wars clone wars was pretty good and is 100% canon

I know a District Attorney from a nearby county from that time and he said there was a lot that wasn't shown from Brendan Dassey's confession that was too coincidental. Either way, there is too much circumstantial evidence not to convict Avery. If he got framed, wow congrats thats a helluva job.

What was done to that kid was heinous. Talk about a travesty of justice. What "circumstantial evidence" and if it didn't get entered then there's the cause for a new trial right there! Anyone with an IQ about 25 can tell this kid isn't right mentally! No parents in the room? Even for that kid? If that police force was so adamant that they had their "man" then you'd think after everything they incompetently did would put EVERYTHING under a microscope and by the books...not them though and especially with this family!

These people are not that bright (the Avery's...the entire family!) and there's no way you knife somebody and shoot somebody and not leave a drop of DNA laying around...there would be blood splatter all over the walls, the mattress, the carpet, the floors...and then there's the fragments of bone in a burn pit that belonged to the victim...where's the rest of the body? Oh, he's so smart that he got rid of ALL the evidence of a murder but decided to park a car on his property and toss some fragments of her burnt remains 30 feet from his house? Remember he's not that intelligent and had a mulit million dollar lawsuit against the county for their incompetence. Brenden's entire confession was coerced and spoonfed to him. This documentary made Wisconsin look like Georgia with the Boss Hogs and the Cooter's running around wrapping all the evil doings in the county on the Duke boys. The supposed blood of Avery's looked like it was swabbed in spots with a Q-Tip...no fingerprints...no hair...just a couple of lines of blood..it even looked fake like it didn't belong in the spots it was found.

I really don't think you even watched the documentary. For you to miss the part where the cops kept on bereating Brendan into a confession and telling them what they wanted to hear just so they could wrap up the case was despicable.

Lt. James Lenk was a longtime Manitowoc County Sheriff's detective. Lenk thrust himself into the Teresa Halbach investigation from the outset, even though her disappearance was reported to the neighboring Calumet County Sheriff's Office, not Manitowoc County.

Once Steven Avery emerged as a prime suspect in Halbach's disappearance, Lenk discovered critical physical evidence to link Avery to the murder of Halbach. Lenk discovered a key to Halbach's RAV4 on the carpeted floor of Avery's bedroom even though the room had been searched by Calumet County investigators numerous times beforehand. Lenk was also on the Avery property four months later when a fragmented bullet was discovered inside of Avery's garage, days after authorities arrested Avery's nephew, Brendan, in connection with the murder. Avery's lawyers suspected that Lenk planted the key and fragmented bullet to shore up law enforcement's mostly circumstantial case against Avery. Lenk retired a few years ago from the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office. He resides in Green Valley, Arizona. Lenk did not respond to phone messages, and no one answered the door Jan. 8 when a USA TODAY NETWORK reporter from The Arizona Republic rang the doorbell of his home in a golf course community in Green Valley, south of Tucson, Arizona.

This POS found evidence that 5 times other officers missed? Seriously? Little ironic that these guys with a known vendetta against this family were even allowed on their property after the first case. If I'm not mistaken, it was Lenk that loaded Avery into the car to go to prison too. Sure looked like him.

The last episode of Season 1 was awesome!

But now I'm confused; I just started Season 2 episode 1.

Are they showing a different view by switching the characters around?

No its a prequel to the first season because the main actor got leukemia. Still really good though.

No denying there is questionable police work going on here and maybe down to the exact letter of the law some of the evidence should not be admissible. But here's the circumstantial evidence
1.) Last known person to see her alive
2.) Body remains found behind his garage
3.) Her car found on his property with blood and sweat DNA on the car
4.) Nephew corroborating the story in any capacity. Only people who are lying are that inconsistent.

done, you go to jail for life in my eyes. Yeah maybe this was the greatest framing by the police department ever OR he did it. Yeah maybe he didn't get exactly his due process, but I think the verdict is right so ehh.

If you mean bone fragments? Where's the rest of the body? Not on that property! You really think this guy is that smart? Seriously?

Like I already stated it looked like it was swabbed on with a Q-Tip! Couple that with his blood sample being fiddled with while under Manitowoc's care...yeah...and it goes back to Lenk??? Avery had access to a compactor and could've crushed the car instead it's littered with twigs and a palette? That doesn't even make sense!

The nephew is retarded. If you told him the sun was orange he'd agree, if you told him he was in trouble and you'd let him go if he said the sun was blue he would. That's EXACTLY what happened to him. Then there's that whole incompetent boob of a lawyer he had collaborating with the DA and police force! That's a conflict of interest right there. When that guy started sobbing on the stand I would've crucified his character and professionalism on the stand. He was rammed by the cops into a confession and that's the fact right there on tape for anyone with an IQ higher than an Avery to see. The story changed because he was telling them what they were spoon feeding to him and he wanted to go back to school! How that is that lying?


I really liked that slime of a DA too...what a douchebag. When he has Avery on trial he said it could ONLY be him! He knew if it was opened up to include Brendan no jury would convict. He gets his verdict and then goes after Brendan and you have absolutely no problem with that? Then when he's on trial its ONLY Brendan that did the killing? Make up your minds people. That entire Avery clan looks like extras from a "Deliverance" movie. Sorry, I still say that the cops framed him up because they had a multimillion dollar lawsuit against them that he would've won for sure and they did what they always do when backed into a corner. Plant evidence to ensure guilt.
