Lyrical look at America's racialised society
James Baldwin was truly an inspirational artist and author in American history. He puts forward very bluntly the issues that the country faces in terms of it's attitude towards black bodies as the body is political. It's rather depressing that after 50 years the US still has not addressed these issues. It's a haunting and poetic documentary. His line about how black people are 'castrated' throughout the country just in different ways is deeply honest and deeply disturbing.

Complex, interesting requires careful reading
An excellent journey into the origins of the universe and what makes human beings so unique within it. It's always been a fascinating concept, and it's interesting because Brian Cox attempts to make the topic more accessible to those less inclined to read science based books.

However, there are still complex theories and formulas discussed so I'd suggest reading and absorbing the information than listening and losing focus. Better still, watch the documentary when it is aired on TV.

Watched all episodes in one go - it was that mindblowing
I wondered what all the hype was about until I started watching this gripping true crime documentary series on Netflix. After the first episode, where it seems like a slightly average episode about the death of a nun, I did think what the deal was, until the second episode and literally shouted at the TV screen. The claims are explosive and jaw dropping. If you loved Making A Murderer, then this is definitely worth a watch.

Now a bit outdated after recent changes to Brendan Dassey's conviction
Incredible series, extremely well produced
While it is apparent there are documents left out of this series, it has been masterfully put together by the documentary's director. A true crime series following convicted criminal Steven Avery and possible misconduct and corruption claims against the federal government, it is absolutely gripping from start to finish. Definitely recommended.

An ok film but nothing like what I expected. This has more of a documentary feel to it than an action based war film. It has very little action in it and comes across as more of a drama, showing how the soliders try to cope with mental and physical pressures on them. Parts will remind you of Full metal jacket and it pays homage to Apocalypse now in one scene. So long as you aren't expecting any real action you should enjoy a well acted film.
