Lightbulb All Stuff on Netflix /// Recommended Documentaries and Flicks

Recently I have watched Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich


It's only 4 episodes (roughly 3:30 hours).
I recommend. Don't give up after the 1st episode, check till the end...it's a good vision on power, money, the justice system ...
_____

Right now I'm half way through this ...Tiger King


It's 8 episodes (45 minutes each average).
That too is pretty wild. I should finish it this weekend.

Those two docs above are not your average typical human characters, thank God!
...Pretty twisted true stories.

If you saw a flick or a doc that you like on Netflix recently this year, this is the time and the place, to take a break from the other reality ... Coronavirus and all.

Speaking of Coronavirus ... also on Netflix


I've yet to see that one just above.
_____

But one I've seen earlier this year ...


Very highly recommended.

Just watched Circus of Books, very good doc on LA's long lasting gay porn store and the family that owned it since the 80s.

I watched Tiger King in its entirety; finished it last night.

This is not over because we already know that there's way more to come.

But those 8 episodes are not for your average Joe and Caroline out there.
We have some very twisted influencers here, and there are more games than the animal (tiger) game. The human game is the much larger one because it's humans who deprive those beautiful animals of their natural habitat and freedom. Check the two chimpanzees brothers as a pure example...look into their eyes and observe their gestures; it's heartbreaking.

We all love baby tigers, young women, middle women, kids and all.
The real zoo is the humans themselves; they are the zoo, and unfortunately @ the expense of those lovely tigers which they stole their natural lives in the wild. It's the humans who live in a miserable cage.
It is extremely sad that the public encourage those Mickey mouse zookeepers. That's my opinion 100%.

Who here would like to be put in a cage and be exposed for the pleasure of humans who pay to see you in cages while your babies are photographed with spectators? A zoo is the last natural habitat for animals, like jail cells for humans.

It's not easy to watch @ times; there's a lot to digest here. When a documentary makes you reflect deeply on the consequences in animal trade (anywhere in the world), it automatically brings you also to human trade and how we treat others and the animal kingdom to the financial benefits of a very dangerous culture that is not a balanced natural equilibrium. This is very twisted and unhealthy in my honest opinion. This is one area of our culture that needs a good cleanup, reorganization for the health of animals and the health of humans.

The best way in my view to watch it is to let go of all prejudices and have a clear and objective view of those zoos with their zookeepers and the public who frequent them zoos entertained emotionally without realizing that this is not natural freedom. How would they like to keep their cats and dogs in cages @ home?

Tiger Joe is also a zookeeper of human slaves, in my opinion.

United Kingdom Netflix documentaries/true crime documentaries

Have done a thread search in TV Shows for existing general discussion threads about Netflix documentaries/true crime documentaries, and out of the search results found this was the best thread to post in.

Finished watching in the past few days, three-part documentary/true crime documentary mini-series Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer. Very good I thought, and it certainly deserved the '18' certificate for the three parts. Will watch Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields sometime soon (I know there is an existing, separate discussion thread for that true crime documentary mini-series, after doing a thread search).

Started watching yesterday, a documentary/true crime documentary mini-series called D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?!

Cool you found this thread.

The last I've watched was 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' ... I think that was the last.
It was alright but I much prefered the first one.

I also watched 'Blonde' with Ana de Armas who was also in 'Knives Out'.
I enjoyed both flix; she's very easy on the eyes.
I liked 'Blonde' and her performance was ... magic.

Another recent viewing was 'All Quiet on the Western Front' ... Best Film I saw in 2022.

* Working on this ...

Have one episode left to watch of D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?!. In the past week, have finished watching three-part true crime documentary mini-series Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields (very good true crime documentary I thought), and started watching documentary/true crime documentary series Exhibit A.

Misha & the Wolves

I watched it last year and thought it was pretty good. Interesting story with many twists and turns to keep you guessing.

United Kingdom Documentaries/true crime documenatries

Since my last post, have watched the first season of Netflix true crime documentary series Chasing Killers, as well as the first edition of the second season (looks like four editions in both seasons). In addition, have also watched the five editions of true crime documentary series Kill Thy Neighbour (not a Netflix-made series, I think it first aired on a normal UK TV channel).

In the past week, have finished watching Netflix forensics documentary/true crime documentary series Exhibit A (four editions in total). Well made series I thought. Have also finished watching both seasons of true crime documentary series Catching Killers.

Have started watching a true crime documentary series which may have aired here first on C & I (Crime & Investigation). It hasn't been made by Netflix (their logo doesn't appear before and after each edition that I've watched so far. The narrator I recognise from another true crime series (possibly the series A Killer's Mistake).

United Kingdom True crime documentary series

Since my last post in this thread, have finished watching both series/seasons of true crime documentary series Meet, Marry, Murder (am hoping they make another series/season). "New" episodes are premiering on UK TV channel Crime & Investigation (aka C & I), but after seeing the synopses for a couple of editions, they're editions which were already available on Netflix. The editions available on Netflix are in two series/seasons (twenty-six editions in each), but on C & I they've been split into four series/seasons.

Meanwhile, a few weeks ago (it might have been less than that, with how fast time can fly by some weeks), a new, second series/season of true crime documentary series When Missing Turns to Murder has been put up on Netflix (haven't yet finished watching the first series/season).

Checked Netflix recently to see if any new documentary/true crime documentary series/mini-series had been added, and spotted something I had previously read about in a listings magazine, mini-series Homicide: New York. Five editions in total.

Default Documentary series

Nearly finished watching a Netflix documentary series that I started recently, Files of the Unexplained. I've found it on the whole to be as good as, maybe even better than, the Unsolved Mysteries reboot series.

Do Netflix announce possible renewals of series a different way to the main US TV networks? Am hoping there will be a second season of Files of the Unexplained.
