One of my granddaughters and I just finished watching Africa, a BBC series. I am pleased that she found it so mesmerizing. She's eight.
shareIndeed I had
A series of docs about Hitler's plans after the war
Ww2 the price of empire is also good
Not lately but here are two good docos I really like...
Child of Rage
Cocaine Cowboys
Cocaine cowboys was really good...part two was less intriguing...but not garbage👍
shareDo you know, was Cocaine Cowboys based on a book? I seem to remember a book about this. If I recall correctly, I started reading it, but stopped very early into the book. I decided the subject matter was not something I really wanted to spend time on. I'm so tired of hearing or reading about the drug situation.
shareHaven't seen the doc, but the Child of Rage movie was really disturbing. Can't believe its based on a true story.
shareI watched a 5 part series on HLN at the end of winter about the Golden State Killer. He had eluded authorities for over 40years. They actually arrested him in early May. It was both surreal and bizarre. It turned out he was a former cop. Truth is stranger than fiction, as the saying goes.
shareThe Seven Five (2014) was good.
"Meet the dirtiest cop in NYC history. Michael Dowd stole money and dealt drugs while patrolling the streets of 80s Brooklyn." ⤵

RBG and Won't You Be My Neighbor were both excellent.
shareLast week I saw Wild Wild Country, about Bhagwan Rajneesh and his followers and their takeover of Antelope, OR.
It was good, but slow-going in part 1 (it's in 6 parts).
Africa sounds good. I like BBC productions. Nice your granddaughter and you watched it together and she was fascinated.
I just added Wild Wild Country to my watch list. Thanks, especially for the heads-up about the slow start.
BBC productions are always high on my list, too. I really enjoy their stuff.
