PARTS UNKNOWN: oh I'm way behind… It actually took Bourdain to die before I checked this out... But it's a stunning show, and I like him as well... The energy, love for food, the love for LIFE; it's magnetising...
It is. It gutted me when he died. I still haven’t watched an episode since. He just seemed to be such a genuine human being who really had life figured out in every sense of the word, who knew how to live and was living life to the fullest. It really shook me to hear that he took his own life. It didn’t seem possible that someone living the life he seemed to be living could find himself in such a dark place. Depression is a horrible, horrible disease.

Just started Ozark. Liking it so far
-
Only shitty thing of PARTS UNKNOWN is almost every show they kill an animal… Currently making sausages of the intestines of a black Sicilian pig they just shot (not sure they showed that, I skipped ahead)...
I hear you man.

Have I mentioned "Sharp Objects" here? I love a crime thriller, I love southern gothic and I love slow paced, literary TV that builds character and atmosphere. This show is creepy af and deeply unpleasant, but utterly brilliant.
While not in the same class I'm currently three episodes into "Castle Rock" and that doesn't suck either.

Castle Rock was worth watching for sure. I’ll have to check out Sharp Objects, it does look interesting.
-
YES and YES.

Jimmy Iovine is the man.

@neph93 now that sounds a bit of Sarah and I. HBO, so probably not on Amazon prime and we refuse to have Netflix. It might be a pay per view for Amazon, I'll check tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

Excellent, glad you got hold of it. The good news is that unlike other great limited series (True Detective S1 is a prime example) this one holds its own right to the very end.

Just starting Season 3 of this. Really enjoyed the last two.

@Madame Buttonfly is loving that…. I have ADD when it comes to watching TV at home, too much else to distract me so I save watching anything apart from the Grand Prix until I am on holiday or on a plane....
