A documentary about the convicted murderer and rapist who did not die in Cell 35 but was instead seen shopping in Sandton City.

Name your favorites.

After President Abraham Lincoln's assassination, his secretary of war and friend, Edwin Stanton begins the manhunt to track down Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth.

I'm a bit of a Presidential history nerd, so I'm super interested to see this one. I'm also a Toby Menzies nerd, so I'm interested to see him too.

I'm only through one episode so far, and I think it had a pretty solid start. I'm hoping (and I would think this to be the case given who Menzies is portraying) that it focuses on the politics of the day, rather than merely being a show about bringing the perpetrators to justice.

(Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War) is an exhaustive, immensely ambitious nine-part, ten-hour series that covers the Cold War from before the beginning (the Russian Revolution) to after the end (the Russian invasion of Ukraine). Or did it ever end? As national-security journalist Garrett Graff puts it in the series, “If you open the newspaper on any given day, we’re still living with the aftermath of the Cold War.” The original Cold War may have wrapped up with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the rise of Perestroika, but it has revived as Russian President Vladimir Putin resuscitated the country’s aggressive nationalist spirit when he was elected Russian president on the last day of 1999.

However you define the Cold War’s parameters, Turning Point is a mighty feat of historical documentary storytelling. (T)he series combines the veracity and thoroughness of a Frontline installment with the style (and, by all appearances, the budget) of a major documentary release.

“Stormy” was directed by Sarah Gibson, but some of the footage we see was shot in 2018 by Denver Nicks, a filmmaker who was directing a documentary about Daniels, and who briefly became romantically involved with her (that’s one of the reasons her marriage ended). We see how Daniels, riding high for a while on the scandal, becomes a symbol of the resistance, yet she also becomes the scandal’s extreme victim. This happens around the time that Trump files a $20 million lawsuit against her for defamation. It’s not a fair fight: He’s got the money to keep her entangled in legal costs, and he also has the power of the presidency. The Stormy Daniels saga may be history as tabloid fodder, and as high-priced political chicanery, but for Daniels it became a car-wreck-in-slow-motion tragedy. For Trump, the scandal has been an ongoing embarrassment. Yet “Stormy” shows you what the scandal looks like from inside the sensationalist bubble of fame, and by the end of the film you may be a little bit ashamed of us all.

Stormy airs on Mar 18 on Peacock.

Actors not sweeping correctly when somebody broke a glass or somebody's ashes were spilled on the floor or something like that is infuriating hahha.

They're always having some serious conversation with heavy relationship complications, but whoever has the broom is literally tapping at the mess on the floor because they know that the production crew is going to clean it up for them after the shoot, so they, the ac-tors, don't have to actually sweep the mess into the dustbin.

I f****** hate that.

I'm trying to watch the mexican telenovela Amar a muerte but I have a hard time understanding the dialogues without subtitles.
