The Devo doc (as someone said above) on Netflix. Very good! Top people.

I love it when art meets pop

I enjoyed the documentary but I was struck by how much I’d ignored Devo’s music and upon hearing it in the film, I realised why. They fall into the same camp as The Rezillos for me. Kinda interesting concept but poor execution.
I kept wanting the out and out pop sensibilities of the B52’s…
I’m probably in a minority

I didn’t really know much about them other than Whip It and the flower pots but I enjoyed it, loved their piss taking, sarcastic sense of humour, Jerry Casale is hilarious, nicknaming Neil Young ‘Grandpa Granola’ made me LOL

Mark Mothersbaugh was/is a renowned member of the Church of the Sub Genius, so we always kept an eye out for Devo stuff. He went on to do loads of film soundtrack stuff, memorably the Lego Movie. I’ll look forward to watching this doc this evening.

Yeah loved all that. The music felt like a bit of a ‘difficult listen’ for me though. Apart from the commercial stuff I suppose.
I’m not averse to arty pop, but most of it didn’t resonate with me.

(Haven’t seen the documentary, but) he also did subliminal messaging in his commercial work outside of Devo.

Invasion on Apple TV, slow start, sucked me in now approaching mid series 2 and beginning to realise it might be complete cobblers 
Platonic is good though.

Watched it this weekend, it’s a city I really love and makes me so angry to watch - but the stoicism of so many of the people they interviewed is amazing.

Enjoying Dope Thief on Apple. Bryan Tyree Henry from Atlanta as a fake DEA agent that busts the wrong stash house. Chaos ensues
Also started watching The Twisted Tale Of Amanda Knox on Disney. Always been intrigued by that case. Something very fishy went down there

Just got through season 1 of ‘The Gold’ on iplayer. Some of the performances are a bit overly dramatised but really enjoying it.
Didn’t know much about the heist beforehand apart from a vague recollection of it being in the news at the time so looking forward to seeing how season 2 pans out.
Dept Q on neflix. Good but not as good as some reviews I’ve read made it out to be.

Might that review have been Lucy Mangan? She literally thinks everything is brilliant.

Yeah, such a tragedy. I can remember it being bad, but because we were watching through the lens of the media, I never realised just how bad it became
