The Official Television Thread
RE: The Official Television Thread
I watched the last episode of "Killing Grounds" about the Gilgo Beach murders. It's very well done. Each episode goes down different rabbit holes, so it's continually revealing interesting things. It's not like much true crime that builds towards a final climax or solution. It looks at the whole and turns over different facets in each episode.

"Stuart Fails To Save The Universe." What I don't get about this is that spinoffs are supposed to be the same genre as the original show, but this doesn't seem like a sitcom, nor is it filmed in front of an audience. It all rather looks like a half-baked YouTube skit.

It also looks like it's trying not to be Rick and Morty or that Simpsons episode where Homer travels through time and changes the world every time.

Raj shows up only to die, which I guess will become a recurring feature in every episode.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Shades of South Park.

There is an excellent new BBC documentary mini series about evolution titled "Evolution" imdb link

The first episode is about the evolution of elephants from the single cell, with emphasis on evolution over all. The second one is the evolution of the ostrich with emphasis on the evolution of sexses. And so on.

Finished Taboo. The second season is officially in development, but since it’s been almost 10 years since the first one, I’m not holding me breath.

I also watched Taboo recently, but I lost interest after episode 5.
