I'm watching Season 1 of The Americans and really enjoying it. I'd forgotten a lot and it's good to notice the detail.
The way it's written - jumping straight into new situations and subplots without any build-up - makes you think you've missed something, or it did me, but I've seen all of it. It just makes more sense the second time around. Gregory and Elizabeth's relationship, for example, (although that is still a bit of a weird one).

As a fan of card tricks, I managed to find "Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay" on Netflix.
For those who don't know who Ricky Jay is, he's probably the best card manipulator ever. This is a sort of biography of a very private man but also a trip through some of the great magicians and card sharps who you may or may not have heard of. It's simultaneously about his life but without really giving much insight which I suspect is the point because that is the way Ricky Jay does things. Anyway, I found it fascinating stuff about the art of magic and cards.

Belatedly realised that "Who is America" is available on UK terrestrial (Channel 4), so started recording it from episode 5 and dipping in to watch the recordings. I can only manage 5 minutes or so at a time. It's brilliant, but so uncomfortable to watch that I get a kind of embarrassment overload. I guess SBC's special talent is to keep going when things are beyond cringe-making.

I saw a very good tribe called quest documentary on Netflix tonight. The narrative ark of the band is the template of many, many other bands. Group of kids from the same neighbourhood form a group in their teens. First album good, second and third even better. Tensions start to appear within the band. Next two albums aren't as good. Band split up. Ten years later they reform again to tour. The documentary was made in 2011 so it doesn't cover their final chapter - the death of phife dawg and the subsequent completion of their last album by the remaining 3 members but it's still well worth watching, especially if you have fond memories of the daisy age and the native tongues movement.

You're right, ff. It'll be a cold day in hell before i start paying for individual episodes.
In signing up for all4 today to watch the aforementioned "a football club: Artist in residence," i see that they have all six series of community on their site. I have been hoping to watch these ever since i fell in love with Gillian Jacobs in Love on Netfilx.

Originally posted by Femme Folle View PostI started watching Atlanta last night. I enjoyed it, but the first few episodes are available "on demand" for $1.99 each. Now that I've seen the first episode and have an idea of the story, I might just skip to the more recent episodes that are free to watch.
