Oh :p. I saw Netflix and a white name and immediately assumed US. My bad :facepalm:

 

There are plenty of kidnappings/disappearances in the US too. I'm reading some cases right now. High-profile ones seem like Jaycee Dugard and Johnny Gosch.

Olympic and World swimming medalist Elizabeth Beisel is currently competing in US Survivor. And doing a decent job so far, by my account, 3 episodes in the season. 

 

fun fact...she's not the first top sportsman/woman to take part in those US shows...Italian (sport) climber Stefano Ghisolfi in 2016 won the American Ninja Warrior US TV Show

Recently watched the Netflix documentary series "The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann" of the infamous case from 12 years ago. I personally have never heard of the case, until i watched the series, but by the looks of it, it has been a huge media event. People here probably have heard of it, and have their opinion on what happened. It's a fascinating case for me and i still can't make my mind on the real answers. Worth the watch, if you are interested in true crimes or mysteries.  

 

I remember this one...really tragic event, especially how it was (badly) managed by all the police forces involved...

 

in Italy at the time they were talking of that case in every news program and they wrote a lot of articles on newspapers...

So...anybody else catch the first episode of the Watchmen yet? 

I'm recording myself. I can watch at work if I have time. But I am not kidding that if I am interested I will absorb this whole series for one sitting.

Well that’s harder to do because it’s on HBO. My one word review of episode one would be: huh?

HBO is not a problem, I get worse over time :(. I like to watch series from beginning to end in one go. I have also recently watched Chernobyl or the Polish series 'Principle of pleasure' on HBO, but it probably only has Czech and Ukrainian versions in other languages.

Chernobyl. Now there’s the show of the year.

Of course. Only I, when I watch TV series, is really top shelf. Only rarely do I have time for it, hence the Soprano Family is in my waiting room. I've been taking it for 4 years to watch it, but something always stands in the way.

Netflix's Unbelievable is unbelievably good.

 

I read the description and I was intrigued by this series. I'll watch him. If it only has 8 episodes then now just find a good time to watch.

    • Finals are set    An all-Canadian final on the women’s side, as Team Homan looks to win their third title of the season (and improve to 18-1) against a hungry Team Einarson who have had a less than ideal start to the season, they were also the last Canadian team to beat Homan over a year ago (same event coincidentally), while on the men’s side it’ll be a battle between Olympic medalists as Team Mouat goes against Team Gushue!
    • Yeah, it was clear. But i repeat, we need it? I think no.
    • GSOC HearingLife Tour Challenge Semifinals  Women  Team Fujisawa v.  Team Einarson  Team Lawes v.  Team Homan   Men  Team Mouat v.  Team McEwen  Team Dunstone v.  Team Gushue
    • In the past the ISU has now allowed countries without a Federation to compete.
    • yeah I know    I mean it wasn't a different team specific for that sport. it was the same CC team participating in both sports.
    • It is run by a different federation though 
    • from what I heard , Iran has registered to participate in Alpine, CC skiing, SkiMo, Skating (they didn't mention which discipline ) and ... (this one will be surprising ) ... Curling    Curling is not a sure thing yet, the NOC has to approve it. the team is very new. I mean very very new, only few months ago they gathered few people to start the sport  you can't lose 100-0 in Curling, right ?    anyway it will be first time ever Iran participating outside of FIS disciplines. ( I didn't count Ski orienteering in 2011 which was the same as CC)   nobody cares about winter sports here. therefore finishing last won't have consequences. they can afford sending very weak teams. (which is not the case for the main Asian Games)
    • World Junior Championships ( Dushanbe)   Day #4 Medallists   women's -78kg Gold:  Brenda Olaya Silver:  Mathilda Sophie Niemeyer Bronze:  Eva Ronja Buddenkotte &  Dandara Camilo   women's +78kg Gold:  Lee Hyeon Ji Silver:  Celia Cancan Bronze:  Chihiro Yamaguchi &  Safa Soliman   men's -100kg Gold:  Mukhammadsodik Sodikov Silver:  Nozomu Miki Bronze:  Azhdar Baghirov &  Fares Mekhoukh   men's +100kg Gold:  Denis Batchaev Silver:  Kanan Nasibov Bronze:  Saba Kardava &  Ibrahim Tataroglu
    • 100 days to go until the first multi-sports games of the 2025 
    • 11 medals out of 15 athletes. for whatever reason  we sent an incomplete team of 16 athletes (only 1 left for tomorrow) I wish I knew why  I can guess though   the result is indeed very good in such a competitive sport but lack of talent was never our problem in taekwondo. it was always there probably much more than any other country.    but the problem is the transition to the senior team. most of previous junior world champions never even made the senior team. (the new federation is doing better in this regard though)
