Better Call Saul - Season 4 is out!

He got $400k as a settlement, then spent all that on lawyers defending himself from the murder charge.
By all accounts he wasn't a very nice person before going to prison for the original crime (that he didn't do), and I suspect that spending 18 years in prison for a crime you didn't do, doesn't help make you a better person when you get released...

His expected payout was supposed to be in millions, but they settled for a smaller amount as they were desperate for funds after the murder arrest.

I know there is quite a high chance that he "did it" in The Staircase, but the fact is they just didn't have sufficient evidence to charge him and keep him in prison. At which point they offer him two choices. Get fucked or get totally fucked. Obviously he is going to choose to get fucked like.

Stuff I watched on Netflix recently

Altered Carbon : Proper good that, really enjoyed it. Great world building, good acting, looked spiffy. Ortega had cracking norks. 780 bananas . (Incidentally, I wondered if the books was where Kov got his user name from, so googled it, and it led me to this page https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Kovacs , which I found amusing

The fact that, on PS4 at least, you can't stop it from previewing stuff while you're just browsing is pretty fucking annoying.

Just got the noti, Making A Murderer Part 2 launches on 19th October.

Wicked. I had a feeling there would be more to it.

Totally did it

No Better Call Saul tonight :'(

First season I was taken in, then saw everything they left out that convinced me he was guilty. Then Staircase came out and the same thing happened and I vowed never to be taken in again.
Started season 2 looking for the holes... And now I'm convinced again they didn't do it!
Fucking TV documentaries...

Making a murderer season 2, starts boring but ends well.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

(Incidentally, I wondered if the books was where Kov got his user name from, so googled it, and it led me to this page https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Kovacs , which I found amusing ) Black Mirror Season 4 : Some great episodes, I really liked the dating app one, and the star trek one. Not so keen on the archangel one, was a bit drawn out and predictable. Watched all 6 episodes in one sitting, so can't have been too bad. 812 bananas Making A Murderer : Missed out on this when it was a "thing". As with Staircase, what is presented in the documentary is very one sided. I finished the show thinking he was stitched up, I read more about it afterwards and am certain he did it. His nephew less certain on how much he was involved and what actually happened in what sequence though. 692 bananas Evil Genius : Crazy heist. Crazy people. Interesting story. 708 bananas Final Space : Watched the first 4 episodes. s'alright. I struggle to get into animated series these days for some reason. Even Rick & Morty season 1 was a treck to get through for me. 512 bananas

The only thing that really concerned me over Making A Murderer was that he was clearly innocent of the original crime he went to prison for. He then gets released, and I would imagine receives a very fat cheque from the govt. Then shortly after he commits a murder that he is seemingly guilty of, and goes back to jail. The thing is, having watched many things like this even when people are proven innocent they sometimes have to admit guilt. No doubt so that they don't get a payout. And this is what concerns me about Making A Murderer.. If he was fitted up? then they did a bloody good job of it. If not? then he is probably the dumbest person in history.

Oh yeah for sure man. I think once you experience certain very strong emotions that you are never the same.

Oddly enough after watching MAM I was suggested quite a few docus about innocents going to jail in the USA. It usually resulted in them having to admit guilt (like The Staircase) so that they couldn't get bugger all from the govt. Disgusting really. Ruin some one's life, make them spend time with animals in prison and they didn't do anything, then just screw them one more time when you let them out. I know there is quite a high chance that he "did it" in The Staircase, but the fact is they just didn't have sufficient evidence to charge him and keep him in prison. At which point they offer him two choices. Get fucked or get totally fucked. Obviously he is going to choose to get fucked like. Stopped watching that type of docu now, as well as the racist ones, as I found myself hating America more each time.

There was enough evidence to charge him and keep him in prison though, so it's not like he was being held for no reason and had to admit guilt just to get out. IIRC he had to admit guilt to get his tag removed and stop being under house arrest. Again, reading up more on the actual case, and what they left out of the documentary, he absolutely did it. No doubt in my mind I enjoy these types of show, but it does annoy me that even though I know how biased they are, they still get me on their side. It's only after it finishes and I go read more that I get the "FFS, they did it to me again" reaction.

Just watched “Demetri Martin - Live (at the time)” on Netflix. It’s another stand up comedy special, and if you know him it’s exactly what you’d expect. If not, give it a try. It’s contains lots of one-liners and similar, but in a laid back fashion. It made me laugh out loud on numerous occasions, probably more in the second half, but still good. I recommend. He’s also the voice of Ice Bear in We Bare Bears, so he’s automatically cool.

Started watching this last night. https://www.netflix.com/title/80158844 Not got to the end yet but wow, how amazingly sad IDK if they said so at the start but I think he had BP disorder. He went completely nuts, then cut his own wrist and throat. Funny thing? most of his kids are autistic. 4 out of the 7, IIRC, and one is showing symptoms of BP disorder.

Watched the end last night. Was in floods of tears. Seeing the affects of bipolar (untreated) and autism made me very sad. It's bad enough going through it yourself, but to see so many affected.. Yeah made me very sad indeed.

Netflix will be available on Sky in November, fully integrated into the EPG as per iPlayer etc... so you'll be able to avoid having to use the travesty of the Netflix clients.

I still don't 100% believe he did it. dons tinfoil hat I think it would be easy enough for the police to get hold of a dead body with all of the overdosing going on. Dump her in a barrel on his property and set it alight. I watched the first one very closely, and I noticed how much the entire township hated him for proving them wrong. Me? I'd have moved away, so fair play for that, he deffo has balls. As I say though, I still reckon it would be easy for police to fit him up. They do call it "making a murderer" which kinda has a point to it, but I just wonder if it is possible to convert some one incapable of murder into a full blown murderer. We'll find out I guess

Thing is I have been watching a lot of docus about the overdose epidemic over in the USA and I truly believe finding a corpse would be very easy, if you were that way inclined. It's this new shit they are mixing with heroin.. Googles Fentanyl, that's the bugger. I don't believe that the guy in the staircase was innocent, but even when they did not have evidence they still made sure to ruin his life. The guy in MAM? he was just an every day guy. And when he got out and got his settlement he did kinda rub it in a little.. I dunno man, I suppose it's just my intuition.
