I started a rewatch a couple of weeks ago and am already into Sesaon 3. It's so damn good, but a completely different experience on a rewatch knowing things that I didn't know first time around.

It isn't explained but there is enough to pick up on what is happening as it goes on. What it doesn't explain is how or why.
Upgraded to the bluray version of Friday Night Lights.... but think it's too soon to watch it again
In saying that I needed a laugh and re-started another viewing of Frasier (really my second, but technically could be considered my third season run through... if I do a complete series run lol). Burned through the first season between Sunday - Thursday and should (if I keep it up) get through the entire series in under 11 weeks, dare I say it but probably within 7-8.
Still to watch - Love my way
And I'm finally updating my external hard drives so I can start ripping Better Call Saul, it's only been sitting still sealed and unwatched for months now

Finally watching Fleabag at my bestie’s insistence. Giggled my arse off through the first two eps, looking forward to watching more.
I was worried that the fourth wall breaking would do my head in, and it IS, but not as much as I expected it would

Just finished this tonight, was searching to see if anyone else had watched it.
Absolutely loved it. I'm a bit of a Jared Leto hater, but he was brilliant. He really brings out the duality Adam Neuman - captivating and repulsive at the same time.

I remember not liking the last season of Luther all that much so I delayed watching the movie, but I finally got around to it and it was terrible, basically a rehash of a concept from a Black Mirror episode but done worse

I enjoyed it overall - but I didn't like how they glossed over what Drake Bell's been up to.

there's two parts to that
the drugs the DUI etc yeah i think that is just a pretty common reaction to trying to hide trauma, we have so many examples of that
we see it over and over again, I think people are starting to accept that
another thing that comes up frequently is victims of abuse also becoming abusers and yeah they very much did not really go into what he did because that is not something people can sympathize with
they didn't 100% pretend nothing happened but they really just said hey something happened and Drake says it was misrepresented
i never followed any of this stuff so I have no idea how far he went, obviously online grooming can lead to much worse and the sense I got was he was doing that but no mention of going beyond that in the doco but we only watched it today so I've not looked further yet

If you believe his accuser, he sexually assaulted a minor - but he was charged with a lesser crime. On QoTS he touches on it like he got picked up for shoplifting lol

it sounds like he did to her what was done to him
and he got a lesser sentence like Peck did
if anything it shows that the systems in place dont protect or seek justice for victims
that aside there is another issue around good victims
you talk about the terrible things Drake has done as an adult after the trauma of being abused as a child and people stop sympathizing with what happened to him as a child
its s**t but its reality so they gloss over stuff
the facts are as a kid he was abused
as an adult he was also abusive
what happened to him may go some way to explain what he did, the same as it goes some way to explain his substance abuse
the difference is the substance abuse primarily hurt him, the assault on another person is very different

Just came in to post myself.
We are 3 eps in, really hard watch at times.
The Drake example is hard. I get that what he did shouldn't be glossed over.... but also, the snippets that come up of the Police report surrounding what Drake was put through..... Good lord no wonder he was messed up

yeah its the problem with good victim narratives, that somehow what he did after those terrible things happened lessens the impact of what happened to him
all these child stars that go "off the rails" when you look at what they went through, yeah no s**t
I read up a little on what he was accused of doing a couple of years ago and its so sad that we see victims of abuse so often repeating the cycle and abusing others
we just really don't understand trauma and the real damage that doesn't go away

What Quiet on Set Leaves Out Is Just As Damning
The docuseries’ tendency toward sensationalism fails to dig into the system’s biggest failures.

Quite a bit more out there about Drake's own history of being an abuser and yeah Engimal v3 you're right about how much they glossed it over
Just a few odds and ends. MAFS (as sad as it is) was my main TV show binge in recent times.
I'm in season 3 of Frasier right now - 2 seasons in not even 2 weeks. But then it's not a major accomplishment considering most eps are 21-22 minutes each.

Wow, you have a wide view of shows .
My taste varies
I'll start Better Call Saul once I start ripping the bluray discs.
I've also been watching more episodes from the Baywatch 24/7 channel. As it replays every 7-9 days I've pretty much watched most episodes MANY times over lol.
Contemplating a return to 24 (again) although if I start it it'll be 5 months earlier than my usual September start time.
May also restart a Curb Your Enthusiasm run through, it's been about a year since my last time.
