No, never heard of it. But it's cool your having a connection.

I've started watching "See" on Apple+ A dystopian future where the human race succumbed to a virus that caused everyone to become blind. This is several generations later and the descendants of the few survivors do not even believe there ever was something called sight. Give it a couple of episodes before you decide.

not really that cool. it's an embarrassment to the entire community. The story has some stranger than fiction twists, though.

I never heard of the 'Thing about Pam' mini-series until now, but will definitely check it out.
I do like a good true crime story, and this one sounds interesting.

I have also been enjoying 'Picard' Season 2, 'Billions' Season 6, and 'Upload' Season 2.

I started watching 'Yellowjackets' but the first episode lost me.  :headscratch:

I just finished 'Upload' season 2.  :htu: I am going to take a look at the new series 'Halo' in a couple of weeks.

Just finished season 2 of True Detective. On it's own, it's not terrible. But after season 1, HUGE letdown.

I just couldn't get into Season 2.
I saw Season 1 a while back, then thought I would just dive into Season 2.
I think I made it through 2 episodes of Season 2 and never went back.

I used to like all things Tymothy Oliphant untill he did "The Santa Clara Diet." However, I would love to see a reboot of Justified.

That show was kinda stupid but I thought he was very funny in it.

Just saw the first episode.

Batshit crazy doesn't even begin to describe her IMO.  :weirdo: :rolleyes:

I'm trying to keep an open mind, but the first episode doesn't leave much room for doubt... :whistle:

Locally, everyone thought Russ must have killed her in the first few months of the murder. but as evidence started to come out, it was unbelievable! We couldn't believe that a jury could convict him on that. But we found out afterwards that the jury was not allowed to hear evidence that the jury was not allowed to hear any evidence that pointed towards Pam.

The show doesn't do a "great" job portraying Leah (prosecutor). But the bottom line was she and the judge, both were in over their heads on the trial.  The judge had just been elected that year. The judge, as a lawyer, had never had a bench trial before, she had worked in corporate law. She allowed Leah (who had also just been elected) to do things that were preposterous!

Wow...the perfect storm for a narcissistic psychopath to take full advantage of as well.

I've only seen the first episode, but I think I can already see clearly that Pam is all about Pam and nobody else.
It seems to me already that she wants to pull the strings in the investigation, and also be the center of attention.
