Z Nation has been really good so far this season. Giant step up from where it started.

Cybercrimes with Ben Hammersley Saw this on Netflix about a week ago and decided to watch it. There's only 6 episodes right now but the whole idea of the show is pretty interesting. Hoping they come out with more seasons or whatever because it's fun to watch. |
Currently watching Prime Suspect.
British crime series, actually more a series of films. Very long films. Very realistic, lots of police procedure stuff. Someone might find it boring, but I love this kind of thing. Plus Helen Mirren plays the main role and she is as awesome as ever. |
Narcos on Netflix is amazing. I'm only three episodes in, but I'm having fun learning about the drug war that changed Columbia forever.

The Inca: Masters of the Clouds
Dr Jago Cooper reassesses the achievements of the Inca Empire. He begins in Peru, where new evidence challenges preconceptions about its origins and significance. Good watch. BBC iPlayer - The Inca: Masters of the Clouds - 1. Foundations |
Horizon: Are Video Games Really That Bad?
The video game industry is a global phenomenon. There are over 1.2 billion gamers across the planet, with sales projected soon to pass $100 billion per year. But their very popularity fuels the controversy that surrounds them. They frequently stand accused of corrupting the young - of causing violence and addiction. But is this true? Horizon reveals a scientific community deeply divided. Some are convinced that video games incite aggression. Others insist they have no effect whatsoever on real-world violence. But away from the controversy, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests video games may help keep the brain sharp, and could soon revolutionise how we combat mental decline as we age. Decent watch. BBC iPlayer - Horizon - 2014-2015: 19. Are Video Games Really That Bad? |
However they might **** with your brain, Call of Duty hasn't incited jingoistic war murder in our youth. Kids don't want to join the military any more than they ever did, and whiny college hippies are as prevalent as ever, so I figure a mountain is being made of a mole hill.

Yeah, I think videogames are used as a scapegoat.
But saying that, years ago a friend and I would play Grand Theft Auto 2 on various drugs, and during that period if a car stopped in front of me in real life I'd sometimes feel compelled to pull the driver out and steal the car. :laughing: But I think that was down to the game and drugs. |
Pretty glad the majority of my video game experiences involved a donkey, two little people Italians, and a round yellow blob with a mouth.
