It's not a crime drama. It's sci-fi. It's set far in the future, where humanity has the technology to be able to perfectly recreate American life from the 1960s.
Watching Retribution on Netflix. 1 season, 4 episodes. Good so far! Love one of the characters cars too!
I'm watching this now...3 episodes in and I frickin' love it.....as a guy who got his first cell phone in my late 50s and for most of my adult life avoided television ...she's a kindred spirit in many ways...what a brilliant humorist!
Watched Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel. It's about the disappearance and death of Elisa Lam. Very compelling and interesting case. She disappeared the day before she checked out and was found 29 days later in a water tank a top the hotel. (Very reminiscent of the movie dark water where virtually the same thing happens which came out in 2005, 8 years earlier) It seems like it's a tragic case of mental illness. Lam was bi-polar and was not taking her meds as prescribed. She had to be switched to another room because of strange behavior that scared her roommates. Lots of strange coincidences and the setting cast an ominous shadow over the case. The Cecil was home to at least two serial killers, Richard Ramirez(the night stalker) and a dude from Sweden or something like that. Not to mention someone has died in every room of the hotel. People have jumped to their deaths, poisoned themselves, shot themselves, or have been murdered. The Cecil has a dark tortured past. There was an outbreak of tuberculosis around the time she disappeared. The name of the test for it...Lam Elisa. One of the last places she was seen was a bookstore. If you look up the bookstores parent company located in Canada.. It's in the town Elisa was from and the marker on the map is centered on the graveyard she is buried in. There were no signs of bruising or anything on her body. She was naked in the water tank her clothes and belongings were at the bottom. There was no water in her stomach and little in her lungs. There was a video of just before she died in an elevator acting strangely pushing all the buttons, including the button that kept the elevator from closing. She was acting as though she was seeing something that was not there, waving her hands in front of her and such. Strange case
That's where el prez will start his anarchistic independent nation......right after his bachelor party! I remember that story..won't spoil it for those who don't know but it's a great example about making the wrong assumptions...the Cecil has always been creepy....it's like the Chelsea Hotel in New York City....junkie havens of the world
Me and the wife just started Dark this weekend. I'm still trying to get use to the dubbed voices (feels like they didn't do a great job in this department but the wife hates subtitles) but I'm hooked and heard the series only gets better in seasons 2 and 3. I've already called a couple of the twists but I really like it. We've tried to watch The Crown a few times but always end up falling asleep in the middle of episodes. Not sure if it's because I work 70 hours a week or it's just that boring but I'm not buying the hype around that show.
Has anyone seen Braindead? I think it's only available on PlutoTV at this point. We've seen three episodes. Kinda different, but we're gonna continue to check it out.
We watched it back when it was on broadcast TV on CBS. Kind of fun in a campy sort of way. Not so great that I was upset that they didn't make more than one season.
