The film thread is getting all cluttered up with idiots like me rating serials, shows and documentaries.So, here is the all encompassing TV thread.Review and rate what you're watching or have recently watched, please hide spoilers behind tags!I'll kick off with:Making a Murderer - 6/10A solid but at times frustrating account of Steven Avery. It's a pretty damning critique of the American legal process, and the commitment of the filmmakers is impressive. But some parts are...Read more

To me, this isn't really much more than a publicity stunt, which follows Conor McGregor fighting Pacquiao and Tyson Fury wrestling Braun Strowman (which is one of the most glorious examples of life imitating art). Is boxing really in...Read more

I haven’t been active on the forum, but thought I’d share this and see if others have had any similar experience.Commuting to work yesterday, I was standing to accelerate away from traffic lights when something happened.
