It appears to me that women actually like it better than men.
Same with 50 Shades.

This revelation will set Clementine Ford and “Me Too” back years

Even reading that freaked me out. The shock and awe content of the show is decent I must admit.

This is a good point, although it tends to wane over the following two seasons. May the Lord open!

To think that your big special guest was to be Kevin Rudd.

Those numbers are incredibly low and if it was up against football they would have been worse.

Agree, this is a great mini-series. Apparently they’ve taken some licenses with the plot, but it still shows how scary and significant it was. Probably the worst adverts for (a) nuclear power and (b) communism. ;)

The wife switched the TV over to CH10 last night and I was subjected to 10 minutes of the Masked Singer which lasted until she was sick of me saying "this is shit" although Lindsay Lohan did have a top on that showed off her generous knockers

ABC iView.

How Australia Got It's Mojo.

Russell Howcroft from Gruen spends an hour looking at an ad agency that created the TV sound track of the 70s and 80s. Great memories.

Check it out.

Coincidentally I've just finished watching Making a Murderer (S1) regarding Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, which has hit the news in recent days.

What a crock. How the judicial system found those two guilty is bizarre. I did read an article from Ken Kratz the District Attorney who mentioned that the series missed crucial information but on face value, they had zero evidence to work with. They definitely had it in for Avery and used Dassey to facilitate the argument.

Now that they've had a breakthrough in the case, it will be interesting to see how they backpedal.
