they even teased it on the news the other night, can’t wait
Was going to say the same about True Detective, there’s something missing and cant put my finger on what it is. Shaper writing probably. I like the atmosphere of it and Jodie Foster is great but its a bit of a disappointment. There’s not much detecting going on and they are really leaning into the supernatural element, perhaps trying to re-capture the vibe of S1. Going to watch til the end though as its only 6 episodes

I’m in the same place as you all - I think it’s basically because it feels like I’ve seen it all before in Fargo, Mayor of Easttown, The Killing etc. countless times.

Just watched this on Netflix, never heard of Bayard Rustin before, but what a guy, very brave, courageous and admirable and lived quite a life.

Really digging S1 of Fargo. I love that they stayed true to the movie.

S1 is the best imo.

Fascinating & brave character. He’s been getting some more recognition lately as the Obamas produced a biopic on him for Netflix. It’s a biopic so your mileage may vary, but Colman Domingo is incredible. Chris Rock was ill-advisedly cast to play activist Roy Wilkins in the biggest fish-out-of-water celeb cameo since Brad Pitt in 12 Years a Slave.

We binged it as well. Was a bubbling wreck towards the end. Great performances from the lead roles. Can see it picking up a few awards.

Following Birmingham 81’s tip on Twitter I watched the Sly and Robbie Southbank show last night which I didn’t know existed. Great stuff and an unexpected vibe between the riddim twins and Melvyn Bragg!

My wife and I smashed through the first 7 episodes last night. Such a great watch and, as you say, a fantastic soundtrack.
