It’s an acquired taste 
Respect. I just can’t do it anymore. I watched The Killing Of A Sacred Deer recently and I couldn’t get over how mean spirited I found it, put me into a depression for a couple of days. I’m too soft these days.

I went to see it with my girlfriend at a cinema in Piccadilly when it came out. She was very understanding.
I also had the vhs of Man bites Dog.
I’m less into that kind of stuff these days.

Just finished the latest series of The Rehearsal. Stunning television. Recommended, though maybe not before or during a flight.
The Orkney Assassin: Murder in the Isles (Amazon Prime)
I’m pretty much done with true crime docs, but this one is a local story of note. This trial should have collapsed as soon as the main witness gave evidence. Not to mention the incompetence of the police who basically ignore/didn’t follow up any of the early inquiries once they focused on Michael Ross.

The dream world that Mrs Thatcher promised. And the ghosts that came back to disrupt it.
When power begins to shift in society, everything becomes unstable, exciting and frightening. Adam Curtis’ new films tell the dramatic story of what it was like to live through the extraordinary change in Britain over the past forty years. It wasn’t just the decline of political power it was also a seismic shift in consciousness in Britain at the end of the 20th century.
Gay Scottish Disco. Intersex dog. Mrs Thatcher. Encounter group. Ghosts of the Empire. Jimmy Savile. The Cheese and Onion computer. Video dating. Ian Curtis. Monetarism. Dead pilot. Stephen Hawking and Black Holes. National Front. Fat-shaming ventriloquist. Dub clash sound system. Party elephant. W****r on the line. Racist attacks. Bucks Fizz.

I’m enjoying Department Q on Netflix.
Although they definitely went ‘don’t make it like Slow Horses… although don’t make it not like Slow Horses’

Blew my mind that Bucks Fizz “Land of Make Believe” was about Thatcher and her policies / strategies

Me too.
I’d etch Weller lyrics into the school desk but obviously didn’t study BF lyrics hard enough!

Loved Dept. Q. The tension in the final episode was a bit much for a Wednesday night though.

I thought it was maybe bordering on exploitative at times. Really feel for the guy.
I’ll give this a watch over the weekend. Does it go into the mountainous amounts of beak he worked his way through for 25 years? I read an interview about it with him where it was briefly mentioned but not dwelled upon.
