My Random TV Thread

Live To Tell looks promising as a docu-series and may actually give the History Channel something worth watching again. First episode (this week) is about Marc Lee.

I watched it last night and thought it was really well done. You're absolutely right- the History Channel finally has something besides fucking reality TV shows. The Discovery Channel should take note.

I'm liking it so far but only 2 episodes have aired so far. Like most adapted to screen books it strays, and that's all I'll say about it until you can watch it. It is filmed in Lithuania though so I have a bias towards watching it...lol
 
Not into comedy unless its dark. The Walking Dead and Bates Motel are my faves. .Also have a half hour guilty pleasure soap-Bold and the Beautiful. Sure no one will relate-haha. Oak Island is good-and Hunting Hitler was ok .Love the Timber kings and Finding Alaska. Also like the Ice Road Truckers.
 
So far The Expanse seems interesting but it's only aired 6 episodes so far. I watched Zoo and am actually looking forward to season 2. Fortitude I'm still trying to figure out though, I think I like it but I don't know I completely get it yet. I need another good sci-fi series though, sick of plain action ones.
 
Loving the new show Live To Tell on the History Channel. Tells story's about Special Operations over in Iraq, Afghanistan.
 
I've been watching Billions. Really well acted and an enticing plot about insider trading (hard to do IMO).

Does Martha Stewart have a role in that-lol. Sounds intriguing but way over my head.

Mercenaries on Netflix, kinda of dry, but goes over some of Executive Outcomes and Sandline Int, operations in Africa. If you are into that history you might like it.

Thank you! I just put that on my list on Netfilx tonight.
I didn't know they covered EO, though I should've guessed they did. I interviewed with them in South Africa back in the 90's actually. They said they were going to take me on as training cadre in Angola. I left before it happened.
I also interviewed with Sandline (or their precursor, I don't immediately recall) they humored me like a silly boy as I wasn't SAS as they assumed I originally was, due to me having their contact info (which I was given by an SAS guy (I'm sure he was spoken to about that...)).

Yeah I just checked Netflix, its gone now. Must have been a limited viewing, you might find it on another streaming source or ask Netflix if/when it will be available again.

Sucks man, I actually thought of you when I was watching it, seemed like it was right up your alley for a historical based documentary. If I come across it again, I'll let you know.

ETA: this is odd, this link states it starts Feb 1'st, bit odd they would cut it after 9 days.
Mercenaries / Season 1 - Netflix US - instantwatcher
You might email Netflix and ask them WTF?
