Gave up on them, twitter links can be decent but the rights holders are unsurprisingly all over them and shut them down as quick as they pop up most of the time. Discord is the latest source I’ve used, managed to get the Eubank jnr v Benn fight on their whilst in Marrakech.
This is correct answer. Dodgy firestick with IPTV loaded on it usually gets you any sporting event you want, or any other channel for that matter. So i’ve heard too.

The Rehearsal is back on - been waiting to start it due to peak TV backlog. Anyone watching this series?
I almost never quit, but bailed on this for some reason around s1ep7…
Shall I resume?
New Adam Curtis landing next month. Ian Curtis, Trevor Horn and fat-shaming ventriloquists. Should be good.

Love a bit of Adam Curtis, he has his critics and I get why but his stuff puts me in a kind of dreamstate, totally immersed.

Watching the new Netflix doc on the hunt for Bin Laden.
Dreadful so far. Skirted over the invasion of Iraq completely.
Failed to acknowledge the comprehensive failings of the security services to prevent 9/11
The arrogance of the CIA operatives makes it very unpleasant viewing. Lots of bragging about ‘flies crawling on eyeballs’ and macho bollocks from the comfort of their Washington desks.
Had to turn it off

I turned it off after 10 minutes.

Ive read a few things that Pakistan secret service knew he wasn’t there and was actually killed in Afghanistan a few years earlier.
I thought Andor stuck the landing beautifully. Given its ending was kind of already known, it was bitter sweet and poignant while managing to duck the pitfalls prequels usually fall into, and gave its characters meaningful and satisfying endings for the most part. SW is usually very black and white, good vs bad but this has been wonderfully nuanced and complex.
Without its Star Wars / Disney attachments, I think it could (should?) rightly sit in the upper echelons of prestige dramas alongside some of the greats of the last few years.

Three episodes into the eternaut on netflix while I wait for my weekly TLoU fix - similar apocalyptic vibes, Argentinean show set in Buenos Aires where a mysterious overnight snowfall starts to kill people - premise a bit like TLoU, science fiction, and probably an allegory for the military junta take over.
Much better than I’m making it sound.

It could have been worse, you could have watched The Liver King, as I did, not one of my finest decisions, an hour + of my life i’ll never get back

Virgin Island. Can’t stop watching/trying not to watch. Second hand embarrassment is through the roof! Completely brilliant!
Twisters.
Absolutely dreadful. Its so bad I dared myself to keep hate watching it just to get more annoyed. Only started watching it because I half enjoyed the original 90s one.

Managed to get to about 20 minutes in when the rebel twisterteam turned up, and what I assumed was the future love interest and at that point decided it was the worst film I’ve ever seen and had to stop.

Dope Thief on apple TV
Enjoying this… bit predictable at times and certainly a flight of fancy but i like the style if it and central performances pretty damned good… i’m hooked for the moment anyway.
Have you got to the big reveal episode yet….?
