    I’m assuming this is the same one my wifes friend was freaking out about. Read some articles and it was funded by a company whose goal is to promote veganism.

    it was definitely bias towards veganism although they tried to put it under the veil that it was an unbiased study on twins which is the most accurate canvas you can use to she how food affects the body. However in between all the study stuff all they showed was the usual footage about how terrible the meat industry is.

    No doubt about that. I just can't stand fear-mongering food docs with an agenda. I remember the one way back that said eating one egg is like smoking 5 cigarettes a day. After that I knew I'd likely never watch those kinds of docs again.

    My wife and I watched the first episode last night and it was painfully bad. It seemed rushed with bad acting and writing. It’s only six episodes so I’ll give it another and maybe it gets better. But, for something that felt rushed it also dragged if that makes sense. I just think they were trying to cram too much in one episode.

    not that. Worth the watch. Three parts and like 2 hours long. First ep makes you think one thing, second another, and third completely diff and wtf. And there is actual closure. Good doc

    currently watching for some reason this seems familiar. Either I remember this story or I saw a tv show with a similar plot. On episode two so this is just my opinion and not a spoiler because I don’t know if I’m gonna be right
    I remember that she faked the thing and spent time with a guy she liked
    again I could be way off and I could be mixing up something else I watched/ read.

    Not netflix, Paramount+

    But the Korean Drama, "Signal" is finally available in the United States. Had a Korean GF in 2016 and we were watching it as it came out. Loved it and happy to see it available, doing a rewatch with current GF, holds up.

    One of the most interesting narrative structures I've seen in episodic TV.

    And I'm still waiting on season 2!

    8.5/10 on IMDB, 94% audience score on rotten tomatoes for those who care about these types of things.

    Plot twist- my current GF is Korean American and knows the ex had to be Korean as well based on watching this show.

    And now it sounds like I have a fetish, I swear they are the only two Koreans I've ever dated!

    I don’t think I’ve ever watched one of his movies that I didn’t enjoy. Looking through his IMDB there are a few i haven’t seen so obviously can’t comment on those.

    I remember that case when it was happening here. Unfortunately the killer in that one is at least the 3rd craziest murder mystery case that's happened around here in the past decade and it's not really close. The other two cases make that one look routine.
