What TV shows are people watching?

Started watching Hide and Seek, a Ukrainian crime mystery thriller about kidnapped children. Gripping stuff. The difference between the Eastern Bloc police and those in the west is staggering, if this is authentic. Dreary and miserable, not a smile in sight, corruption everywhere, rampant sexism and victims being interviewed with all the tenderness and subtlety of a swift kick in the teeth. Recommended.

I watched the first few episodes of Andor. The plot is slowly building. With all of the prequels and back story, it's still weird to watch something knowing how it will end.

My next foreign drama.

Munich Games sees a joint Israeli/German police force attempting to foil a planned attack on a friendly match being held between the two countries to mark the anniversary of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre.

Watched Black Bird.
It's really ****ing good. Everybody who's into serial killer **** should check it out. The portrayal of Larry Hall is incredible and different and terrifying. At first I didn't believe that that retard would turn out to be an effective antagonist but holy **** was I wrong.

You missed the memo (and the whole tedious discussion around it, consider yourself lucky about that) but I've listed the word retard among the forbidden forum slurs

But what do I call norg then?

**Marie Monday** · 10-09-2022, 04:23 PM

Be creative

But there's one word that perfectly encapsulates his entire being.

**Marie Monday** · 10-09-2022, 04:59 PM

The word 'norg' actually captures his essence very well

I don't think you grasp what I'm trying to do here.
