x2 It's a great show.
The English do their passion for sport so much better than us. I love they way they still love their club despite having dropped two divisions of top flight footy.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
i know this is not on Netflix, but I watched Blue Murder again on Prime yesterday. It's an old aussie mini-series about Roger Rogerson and Neddy Smith and all the other dodgey bastards back in the day. It's getting on a bit now but I enjoy it every time I see it. I really enjoy the shows on the crims back in the days NSW Police were just as bad.
So you've seen everything have you? Yep Have you ever seen a man eat his own head? No Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

Yeah rate this, have it on DVD.
Me too, one of the great Australian mini-series.

It's also on SBS on Demand if anyone's interested.

A highly under-rated streaming service. Plenty of quality, and costs you stuff all.

Whilst I don't follow basketball as I once did I watched a lot of the Bulls through the early / mid 90's in my formative years and I can't wait to watch this.
I'm going to watch the two episodes on offer this weekend, I've been reluctant to watch them after work/dinner as I know I'll either vague out or doze off as I normally do in front of the TV after 8pm.
Yeah, I'm really keen to watch it too, and I can't stand basketball. I'm also of a similar vintage to Booney, and can't not think of the 90s without Michael Jordan (I did have a pair of his shoes, though), so there's a slight nostalgia factor there as well. The doco seems to be more about the dynamics and tensions of the team environment, which appears to be what gives it such broad appeal.

I had 4's, 5's, 6's and 7's, a Bulls bomber jacket, a Pippen singlet and a full Flight tracksuit. Should have kept the clothes.

Yeah, reckon you were much more of a fan that me! I bought my Jordan's (6s, IIRC) off a mate.

Downton Abbey with a round ball!
Agree, it's worth a squiz.
Almost through the third episode now and yeah it has turned into more of a soap opera than being about the game like I was hoping, cant see myself getting through too many more if it continues down this path.

There is an ESPN documentary (The Amazing Adventures of Wally and the Worm) of a bloke the Bulls hired to follow Rodman around in between games. 'The Worm' was/is one weird dude. Could play though!!
