Actually, they aren't true stories...

Finished Season 2 (all 3 episodes) of "Prey" and it was good. Liked it better than Season 1. 

I like these BBC shows with flawed characters.

there’s a disclaimer at the start of each episode that says they are and how names have been changed per the survivors wishes.

Yes, I know - google it and you'll see they're not true stories.

@Tank you should know better than to believe anything coming out of Hollywood.

Dude, I suppose next you’re going to tell me that the Cartwright family living on the Ponderosa in Carson City wasn’t true, or that Batman isn’t real. Just shut up before you embarrass yourself.

[Blarg]

Yup. Even their true stories are mostly fiction.

Batman is obviously real because Catwoman has to be.

Anyone on the newest season of Fargo?  

I dig it.  Not totally sold on Chris Rock, but the rest of the cast has been outstanding.   I was mindblown to see that one of the characters is played by the same guy who was Richard Harrow (mask guy) on Boardwalk Empire.  

Looks like some origin material for season 2 as well.

 

Spoiler

Mike Milligan and Joe Bulo?

 

[Taylor]

Tank isn't the first person in this thread to believe the disclaimers at the beginning of Fargo at face value.

I liked the first 2 seasons best. Season 2 was ok. Like this one the least. Agree, Chris Rock isn't selling it for me. I only watched the first couple episodes and I paused it. I'll probably get back to it eventually.

It started slow for me, but has really picked up steam after the first couple eps.

Finished season 2 of Whitechapel and it was pretty good. Liked it a little better than season 1...

However...

Spoiler

The copy cat premise 2 seasons on a row? Not feeling it...

I'm in S3 right now.

Buchan is back if that tells you anything.

Good show and I like the characters despite the similarities.

Prince Charles is such a c*nt in season 4 of The Crown.

I liked him so much in S3 (the welsh episode).

Great actor though; he was also great in the Les Misérables miniseries.

Just finished seasons 1-4.  Yeah both princes Phillip and Charles aren't put in the best light.  Although Phillip gets better in season 4.  Elizabeth looks the best out of the family, where the rest are like an episode of the Kardashians.  

But overall, it was an interesting look into the royals for the 4 seasons.  I'm sure most is fiction, but none the less, an interesting historical look.

Just started S3 myself. I like the show. Not crazy about it, but it's pretty good. Holds my interest. Buchan is a little over the top...

The Color of Money

Seen parts of it many times (mainly towards the end), but finally watched it from start to finish. Still holds up.
