Has anyone watched this on Netflix yet?

We watched the first two last night, and it was scary as ****.

I haven't but I want to watch it. Another recommendation I was given that is similar was 'The Keepers'.

I started watching The Keepers last week. Only a few episodes in but it's pretty good. Not quite at Making a Murderer or Paradise Lost level but good nonetheless.

I wasn't too keen on Making a Murderer, funnily enough. I just thought that they tried too hard to support the innocence theory, even when it wasn't all there anymore.

You didn't think Brendan Dassey was innocent?

Anyone seen the comedy 'Norsemen' on netflix? A mate has got the lead role but I've not had a chance to see the programme yet.

I have watched the first three episodes, first and second were good but the third they seem to waffle on too much about nothing, anyway will keep watching for time being.

Fully agree with this. Spent ages going over little details then brushed over things like when he tortured a cat.

To be truthful, I didn't watch enough to say either way. The problem I had was that the show did everything it could to prove he was innocent, whilst ignoring the arguments against that theory. I suppose it made great TV, but that's about it.

Watching the 2nd episode of this now, been looking for something to watch since Man in High Castle, GoT, Making a Murderer and OJ v The People.

The asian lad and white lad in the first 2 episodes of Confession Tapes....guilty or not? I still think guilty, cant get out of my head the way they acted after the death.....I know grief can make you act in a certain way but I think the running from press laughing showed they thought they were invincible and above everyone.

Just started watching episode 1 - only 15 mins in but can tell I will enjoy it.

Newcastle - it's about how the police can coerce false confessions out of people and the sometimes underhand tactics used. But so far it's a nice blend of archive footage and testimonies from those involved.

I've been binge-watching "The 100"

Doesn't shy away from making hard script-writing decisions, and very compelling....... makes me want to read the book

Power and Narcos are an absolute must watch from me.

However, I can't say I have heard of the other two.

The keepers- What stands out most is the courage of a group of women, many of them victims of abuse, who will not shut up, go away or play nice.
