I watched the first episode of Les Norton on ABC iView last night.
Good enough to watch the 2nd episode tonight

I enjoyed remembering the Cross in the '80s.
Plenty of everything going on back then...................

It appears to me that women actually like it better than men.
Same with 50 Shades.

This revelation will set Clementine Ford and “Me Too” back years

Even reading that freaked me out. The shock and awe content of the show is decent I must admit.

This is a good point, although it tends to wane over the following two seasons. May the Lord open!

His show's been axed - after two episodes. The telly gods have spoken.

To think that your big special guest was to be Kevin Rudd.

Those numbers are incredibly low and if it was up against football they would have been worse.

Agree, this is a great mini-series. Apparently they’ve taken some licenses with the plot, but it still shows how scary and significant it was. Probably the worst adverts for (a) nuclear power and (b) communism. ;)

The wife switched the TV over to CH10 last night and I was subjected to 10 minutes of the Masked Singer which lasted until she was sick of me saying "this is shit" although Lindsay Lohan did have a top on that showed off her generous knockers

Coincidentally I've just finished watching Making a Murderer (S1) regarding Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, which has hit the news in recent days.

What a crock. How the judicial system found those two guilty is bizarre. I did read an article from Ken Kratz the District Attorney who mentioned that the series missed crucial information but on face value, they had zero evidence to work with. They definitely had it in for Avery and used Dassey to facilitate the argument.

Now that they've had a breakthrough in the case, it will be interesting to see how they backpedal.
