I didn’t really know many details as to what happened there. Ive heard a joke about it in some movies or comedy shows.

I like true crime, but im really interested in docs about cults because it truly seems like a formula. There is a certain psychological profile for victims of cults, and their leaders.

This cult in particular, the Branch Davidian is so strange to me. Especially because Koresh didn’t strike me as a very special or interesting leader. Yet he has people that to this day believe he was the second coming.

I mean, one could draw some comparison between him and Warren Jeffs with the young or child brides. How is this holy? Why is this holy? When it is simply pedophilia. That is another topic of its own.

There is a subject in the documentary. I dont remember the name of the woman but by the way she speaks, it appears as if she has held strong to the beliefs and convictions of the cult.

As far as how this all started, I think the ATF played this out all wrong. Im not in law enforcement and even I can see that if they lost the element of surprise, going in was not a good idea. Also getting into a shoot out seems ridiculous too. If those people were heavily armed, then they needed to come up with a better tactic.

Anyways, it is a good doc… Worth the watch.

I like movies with mystery and a good cast.

I’m open to any and all suggestions

Hello fellow Netflix watchers,

For years I've been in the background as a benefactor of the well-thought-out posts that highlight 'what's best to watch currently offered by Netflix'. Today is my opportunity to give back.

Escape from Dannemora is a series directed by Ben Stiller(won Sag award) that was only available on Showtime some years ago. Showtime offered its first episode for free; I was instantly hooked which led to me subscribing. Now that it's on Netflix this soul gripping series is available to a way larger audience - so I came here to raise awareness and give back to a community I've done nothing but take from.

Escape from Dannemora is as close as you will get to an actual re-enactment of the real-life prison escape of murderous inmates Richard Matt(played by Benecio Del Toro) and David Sweat(played by Paul Dano) - here is the Wikipedia article that covers their escape story 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility escape - Wikipedia.

It covers each step of their escape plan from genesis of the idea through their harrowing end in 8 slightly sixty minute episodes. In my opinion its a must watch as Dano and Del Toro give a masterful performance. Del Toro's ability to be truly menacing comes through in spectacular fashion. I also do not want to overlook Patricia Arquette who plays Joyce Mitchel(their love interest). She is a force of nature and my god those teeth bring her character to life. She also won a golden globe for her portrayal in 2019.

Here is the link to Netflix where you can begin watching and Netflix's movie description:

Stream: Watch Escape at Dannemora | Netflix

Description: At a correctional facility in northern New York State, a seamstress becomes enthralled with two inmates and helps them in their attempt to break out.

Starring: Benicio Del Toro, Patricia Arquette, Paul Dano

So, after watching Night Stalker, Waco: American Apocalypse and American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing, i thought hmm… what would I like to see from him next?

If I could make a small wish list, it would be a very well produced and researched doc (as he has previously done) on:

Jim Jones and Jonestown mass murder

The Casey Anthony Case

The Black Dahlia cold case

These are some of the cases Id like to see him tackle.

If you are familiar with the docs he has made for Netflix and his style, and if you liked the docs…

Which case or cases would you be interested in watching and learning more about?

I haven’t finished it yet, but Im deep into it and honestly, I think this doc is a service to society.

It’s a simple fact, people like new things. People also enjoy treating themselves, and loved ones.

Don’t look at this as an anti commerce, anti capitalism, or anti purchase doc. I think it is simply an informative documentary on what happens when there is excess, and moderation is cast aside.

Also how there is an actual science involved in advertising, and marketing. A lot of people know this, a lot of people know it and choose to ignore but then there’s that section of the population that is absolutely clueless.

If you have ever watched Mad Men, well, then you’ve gotten a bit of an education on how part of the process sometimes works.

There are of course certain social components, especially amongst certain age groups and how they want to portray themselves on social media and to peers.

It’s interesting to watch. I think it covers an important topic, and it’s worth your while.

I enjoy superstore, brooklyn 99, f is for family, louder milk

looking for some short light-hearted shows recommendations since i don’t really have a lot of time to watch tv in the next few weeks. dramedies or comedies, but not sitcoms lol. any streaming platform is fine but i’ve already watched like everything on apple tv lol. some comedy series i really like are:

• the good place
• only murders in the building
• bad monkey
• ted lasso
• nobody wants this
• a man on the inside
• the other two
• trying
• acapulco
• dollface
• the sex lives of college girls

thank you! any recommendations are sooo appreciated

I feel like I’ve seen everything at this point & it makes it hard to find something I’m willing to watch & forget where the remote is so I did what any logical person would do.. I came to Reddit

Genres I like are thrillers, dramas, crime, comedies (sometimes)

Not a huge fan of sci-fi, fantasy, action or horror

Favorite shows (on Netflix) to kinda help: -Shameless -Maid -Good Girls -The Innocence Files -Dynasty -Derry Girls

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 thanks in advance! 😭

With Netflix putting out a “new” documentary about this case, I’m curious who most people think is guilty?

I lean towards the brother but I also think I could be sooo easily persuaded that it was someone from outside the home too.

Im into true crime, so Ive heard about this case before and done a little reading. Im glad that Netflix took this on, in a proper way this time.

Netflix had released an odd documentary prior to this one where they used different actors to recreate things. I thought it was horrible, not a great doc to be honest.

In this documentary, which I think it is going to be part of a series… They explore the case in more detail.

I still cannot say one way or the other, yeah, this person did it. Some new facts are revealed, at least new to me. I thought they were interesting. I didn’t know that the media had fabricated so many lies in respect to the parents.

I also think the police work done on the day when they found her was just terrible. Not to mention that Steve Thomas’ hypothesis sounds ridiculous to me.

Lou Smit had a better take on the case, I think.

But just like with Madeleine McCann, it’s just hard to say. I just cannot fathom a mother doing that to her own daughter, im talking about Patsy here. I also cannot picture the father.

The only thing that I thought was odd was her brother’s interview. He seemed to smile a bit through it? But there’s no way that child could have done that. It is outrageous to think.

Some points of view are just absolutely ludicrous too. Some woman saying that the little girl was being inappropriate with the saxophone. I won’t use the words she used, but upon seeing that tape… Im sorry no, she wasn’t doing that.

This case is so sad. Overall this documentary was good, I found it interesting, and well done. Better than some others Ive seen.

I have watched:

1. arcane

2. blue eye samurai

3 .love, death, and robots

4. big mouth (didn't really like)

5. inside job

6. a bit of bojack horseman (didn't really like)

Edit: smth = something

^this is for those who can't understand basic abbreviations 😊

I've already watched and finished:

• atypical
• i am not okay w this
• xo kitty
• everything sucks
• the half of it
• crush
• first kill

In need of good thriller movie or shows, kind of a slowburn with good twists.

What is actually worth watching? I have a 3yo daughter fwiw.

For the life of me, I have been unable to find a decent show or movie to watch. With the holiday season next week, I really want to unwind and watch something good. Below is some insight to what I like and don’t like.

Like:

• Hunter Hunter
• Queen’s Gambit
• Clickbait
• Maid
• From Scratch
• Dandadan
• Sweet Magnolias
• You
• Queen Charlotte
• Ginny & Georgia
• Painkillers
• Love is Blind
• Bee & Puppycat

Don’t like:

• Peaky Blinders
• The School For Good And Evil
• Uglies
• A Nearly Normal Family
• I Care A Lot

Would love suggestions!

there’s something i love about series made in this time frame compared to newer series. looking for recommendation for shows of any genre made in this time frame please!

Looking for something in the lines of shutter island, the haunting of hill house (bly manor/midnight mass/midnight club) or the woman in black. Dark, rainy, possibly a period movie/show. Mystery/horror. A slow burn is okay, it doesn't have to be packed full of action. If possible no harm to animals.

Thanks!
