Andy doesn't come out of it well. Nor does that artist woman. She was a bit of a psycopath using Epstein's guilt to wash her crimes clean. The woman was taking pictures of her 12 year old sister naked in suggestive poses and then painting them after to sell them on. That was how she met Epstein but she was in her early 20s then. Imagine if she wasn't a she and had taken the same photos of a male or female sibling at the same age. It was very fucked up and I can't believe she hasn't been pulled up on it.

I'm on Queen Of The South at the mo. The script is terrible and very cliche but its strangely enjoyable. Like Dynasty meets Narcos.

Hermit Road I agree a lot people knowingly knowing what was going on and keeping schtum. Like Saville. As I posted before a lot of people in high places involved in this shit. I'd like to see a full enquiry but it won't happen.

"Hermit Road 8:23 Sun May 31 Andy doesn’t come out of it very well! Basically witnesses giving testimony against him on air! If slander, you’d think he might sue Netflix! Also Epstein didn’t commit suicide"

"I've started 'Little Fires Everywhere' on Prime but I'm struggling with my antipathy towards 'Mia'. What a defensive, miserable bitch. I'm hoping her back story turns up soon to explain it all so I can warm to the series a bit more. Otherwise I'll bail."

Apologies fellas but I can't find the documentaries thread so I'll just place this here. Sky have a documentaries section now and there is some good stuff on there. Also on You Tube I've stumbled across a guy called The Modern Martial Artist and watched a few of his videos talking through famous fights like Ali v Frazier and Foreman v Moorer etc. Interesting to see how he talks through each round showing various strategies which when you don't know much about boxing is quite fascinating. Worth watching.

The missis has got us watching the Epstein thing. There were a lot of people with filthy hands enabling him to abuse those girls. Some of them were on the documentary pretending they were innocent bystanders. The artist who took pictures of her 12 year old sister naked was a sick fucker who should be locked up herself. Haven't got to the 2008 case yet.

Just finished watching Epstein in Netflix. I know we had a thread on this but can't be arsed to find it. All I can say is he must have been able or even still could posthumously compromise some seriously powerful people. The 2008 Florida deal was unbelievable. Suicide...no way

Manuel The flashbacks were early 2000s. I thought White Lines was good fun. Sort of It's All Gone Peter Tong meets El Dorado. I liked El Dorado.

"Yea, won't bother with Lilly Hammer. You can't commit to 36 episodes of something that is just ok, at best. I suppose some are tv addicts that will watch anything."
