Restarted Californication recently. Honestly I don't see what Hank sees in Karen... at all. It's kinda spoiled the show for me.

That show is really inconsistent for me. It's great at times and absolutely vapid at others.

The pilot was full of cheap shock value kinda turned me off.
Been watching frontline which is actually fairly well done for surface level coverage and the new season of the simpsons feels warmly quant; mixes in nostalgia how the show used to. Feels reminiscent of earlier seasons, arguably the shows prime

I stopped watching it again probably for the same reason I stopped watching the first time around. I just enjoy the characters and their relationships with each other... just not Karen. I feel like had they focused more on a cohesive structure than 'Hank makes up with Karen. Hank ****s up. Karen's mad at him so he does a bunch of stupid shit.' repeat over and over and over and over throughout each season.

Been watching season 1 of Man Vs. Wild. Looks so fun.

I watched this on 4od last night:

Holocaust: Night Will Fall

Holocaust: Night Will Fall - Channel 4

Probably the most compelling documentary on this tragedy I've seen. Everyone should be made to watch this. The footage is the best (or worst) and most detailed I've ever seen, the scale of it is unreal.

Worth a watch.

Yeah seen all of these. Grylls is entertaining but not as knowledgeable as other survival experts. I love these shows. Dual Survival series 5 just started, if you're in the US you can watch it on telly, I have to wait a day or two to torrent it :p

Anything by Les Stroud (Survivorman) & Ray Mears as well.

Yeah it's very entertaining. I'm looking for a show that is more about surviving for an extended period of time than getting out as fast as possible. I've surprisingly never checked out Survivorman but I sure will soon.

Bruce Parry's series called Tribe sounds like something you'd like, he goes around all sorts of places seeing how the natives live day to day and joins their tribe, becoming one of them, places like the Amazon, Alaska, Africa... He's been all over. I know a few more but my memory has gone a bit blank as I watch a shit load of this stuff.

Can recommend a couple films too... Grizzly Man is one. Timothy Treadwell is a proper strange bastard, it's not so much based around bushcraft as say Ray Mears and the like, this guy went to live in the wild with bears, few laugh out loud moments in it where he's having a go at the camera But a gripping film all the same.

The 2007 film 'Into The Wild' is a must watch as well. I won't spoil it for you though.

Bear Grylls has got a documentary series called The Legion which you might like as well.

Yeah I just watched Into the Wild for the first time probably less than a month ago and instantly fell in love with it. Great soundtrack too. Haven't heard of Tribe but it sounds extremely interesting.

I'll definitely check out all that stuff. It's becoming my life fuel at the moment due to my sudden obsession with all things nature. I'd probably be out there right now dancing with bears if I didn't live in a desert and I wasn't deathly afraid of bugs. Gah...
