I guess ultimately he was a serial liar (as well as killer) who constantly back tracked on his confessions, so only getting 2 out of the ten's of women he killed was a bit anti climactic, maybe, especially with the map being burnt. Plus ultimately after all the investigative work of the police it was after a guilt trip and beers with his brother that they were able to convict him.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Not a fundamental criticism of the show, which is great, just felt the ultimate "delivery" wasn't quite as good as all the build-up to it.
Just finished Hell on wheels. What an amazing show. I've been dying to watch this for years. All the characters were individually brilliant. Colm Meaney and Anson Mount carried this show. Common was surprisingly good in his role. The Swede was a great villian throughout the show. Definitely recommend watching it.
I disagree, I found it to be 10/10 all the way through. I was generally gutted when it finished.
Definitely agree. (with you) I think Wibble was just trying not to oversell it too much.

Just finished episode 5 of Five Days at Memorial. I cannot remember being so emotionally spent after watching something. Some of it is personal on the Katrina level & family level, but I would have still been substantially moved regardless.
Last episode of Alchemy of Souls added To Netflix today. Season is worth a watch if you’re into fantasy/nnja stuff. It has everything, it was funny, charming, quirky, Emotional, suspenseful, exciting. Brilliant characters and just a well constructed series.
I really enjoyed and really think it deserves some attention. Seemingly series 2 starts in December, given the ending of S1 honestly can’t wait.

Something like that.
Anyone watched "See" with Jason Momoa? Reviews aren't great, but I love the premise and it's survived three seasons. Worth it or no?
Succession is such a great show. Probably one of the best on TV right now. Top notch writing. Although the lastest season wasn't as amazing as the previous one. Still a solid 8.5/10.
Can anyone recommend me some good shit on Apple?
I think I haven't seen a single Apple TV series

Severance.
Watching AP Bio. Decent enough. Weird seeing Dennis in another sitcom but the character isn't a million miles away from Dennis anyway.
The girl with glasses is funny.

I enjoyed the first season immensely. The fight scenes are epic and the mad queen is played brilliantly. Only watched a couple of episodes of the second season before getting distracted by other shows but I'd definitely recommend watching a few episodes to see if it floats your boat.
Definitely Severance first. Black bird was decent. Heard good stuff about Tehran (on here).
thank you
Obviously not an unknown show, but I watched the first 2 episodes of Suits tonight, really enjoying it. The 2 main characters are both brilliant
Not sure how this show passed me by for so long

For anyone who likes historical drama and doesn't mind subtitles, I highly recommend Pachinko on Apple TV. It's adapted from an amazing novel and deals with the Japanese occupation of Korea in the 20th century.
1st season was really great but then it went downhill. I stopped watching half way thru season 2.
I think this show looks good but if you see past that, it is a bit shit. Like, the main character's family has been found slaughtered just hours before and now he's having these wannabe weirdo chats with the detectives about some historical religious events and that takes up most of the air time.
You realize that the show was depicting real life events, yes? Of course there’s liberties taken at times, but apparently the show stayed pretty close to Krakauer’s book.
Yeah I am knowledgeable of that but still the scripting or acting is way off.
Interesting.
I kind of felt the first season was excellent but it just was recycling the same storyline over and over beyond that point. There was usually a few good burns to laugh at but it just became stale very quickly.
The Outsider on HBO is gripping. No-nonsense story and dialogues. Good acting too.
I can only assume you haven’t watched the whole thing cause it’s full of nonsense.
It did not end well.
That's okay. We both don't need to have exact same taste and it doesn't mean what we like is bad. I know many who liked The Outsider and also who didn't. Depends on person to person.
I really need something new to watch. Resorted to watching virgin river based on the Mrs recommendation. Gave up after 2 episodes
Kingdom is another amazing Korean series. If you are into zombies and medieval period politics, this series is for you.
The White Lotus is an easy watch which builds to become pretty funny if anyone seen that, would recommend.
Ted Lasso
Bad Sisters
Severance and Black Bird probably the two best new shows on TV.
Just started The Book of Boba Fett, not a bad start.
Season 2 of Delhi Crime is very good.
As good as Season 1?
2 eps in and quite enjoying it.Thought it was trash. I did quite enjoy the mandalorian part 2.5 though.
I dont remember it that well at this point but i think it starts dragging bad fairly early in the season before recovering and finishing fairly well (last episode was dumb and bad as far as i remember). I think its the weakest of the star wars tv shows by a fair distance anyway. Its probably not bad overall just doesn't hold up that well vs their other releases.
