Just stumbled on this crazy story in the Apple TV archives, anyone seen it?
Yeah I watched that a few days ago, read the book as well a year or 2 ago which I liked but I thought the programme was more convincing. I think he’s onto something really, even though he can’t definitively find evidence of the doctor and Manson ever meeting.
Just watched the first episode of this. Blimey. Gripping stuff.

Yeah … such a strange and fascinating time in 20th century history… Manson, Zodiac, Altamont… the ‘wave crashing and rolling back’ to paraphrase Hunter S Thompson

I enjoyed the first one but struggled to see what the one-take thing added to the second episode. It felt like the “look at us, aren’t we clever” technical element came at the detriment of the issues the show wants to deal with. Apparently the third episode is the high-point.
Ashley Walters was excellent. Stephen Graham just whopped out a bit of the old Stephen Graham.

Yeah, interesting. I love a one shot but it has to be deployed at the right time or it can feel gimmicky. I tried to spot the edits all the way through but couldnt, unlike say the film 1917 which I thought were badly hidden. If they filmed this live over 65 minutes thats a pretty incredible achievement. Same Director has Boiling Point isnt it, so theyve got form. Agree Ashley Walters is brilliant, and Stephen Graham is just in his everyman mode

Agreed. Watched it earlier this week. A really charming and beautiful film. great acting by the lead, Josh O’Connor but so many good performances. It’s eccentric and thought provoking and the ending left me with a few lumps in my throat.

The Last Showgirl
Pamela Anderson as an ageing dancer in one of the last shows in Vegas. Bittersweet little film, only 90 mins long. Think she deserved an awards nod for this.

Yeah it was all done over one shot, they had a week scheduled for each episode with 2 attempts a day. Great little making of video above ^

Really reminded me of a recent Queer Eye episode too

Imagine the money they saved on editing.
Wrangling all the school kids in the 2nd episode would’ve been one hell of a feat.
