Yeah i tried to get into it, the premise is decent but Chloe Grace Moretz always puzzled looking face just makes me want to turn it off.
Anyone watching The White Lotus? Just started yesterday. First episode is a bit of a slow burner.

I watched āNine perfect strangersā last year which is said to be like The White Lotus. So if you like TWL, you might like that. That said, I thought it was shit.
Finally got around to watching Slow Horses, I love it. Great adaptation. It took me an episode and a half to get into it as it doesnāt quite have the same feel as the books. Thereās more levity in the books and most of why I enjoy the series is simply the interactions of the characters and the dialogue. The show starts out with a darker tone and but some of those elements start to shine through later on in the first season. I didnāt like Oldman in the initially but he grows into the role brilliantly as expected.

For the record I liked this by accident. I havenāt seen it as it doesnāt look like my sort of thing.
First season was so spectacularly good. Iāve been a bit apprehensive about season 2 as Iām skeptical of their ability to hit the same notes again with a different story so havent started it yet.

My dad is relatively newly retired so I bought him the entire Slough house collection for Christmas. Im wondering if they will arrive early enough for me to read through one before I wrap them up
Think the stupidity of Ancient Aliens coupled with the society destroying attacks on establishment and ākeepers of knowledgeā of Q Anon. Itās not just dumb, but in this political climate its a borderline irresponsible show to have commissioned.

@Limiescouse is correct.
Basically Graham is arguing that an advanced group of white people ( Atlanteans) ruled during or before the ice age but then a catastrophic event pretty much wiped their civilization out destroying any evidence of their existence (comet strike then global flood).
Survivors from this event then setup in different parts of the world and shared their learnings so that all the great accomplishments are due to this group of people, not the native peoples who actually did build the monuments etc.
Graham and others of his ilk then twist and turn trying to find ever more ways to mislead people on what evidence exists and the work of archaeologists.

All the evidence points to them being opaque. You canāt pin this on the white man. There are probably a few truths in the mountain of myths, itās always the case. Oak island would be a modern day reference to this type of āevidenceā with a few facts thrown in.
While claiming that that he has been blacklisted by the academic establishment because his idea are not what they believe. He is the equivalent of Liver King yelling on tik tok that Dr Fauci wont debate him over the ineffectiveness of the covid vaccine if you take supplemental vitamin D.

Way more evidence than anything Hancock has to support his claims.

On the contrary, it isnāt. This has been pointed out time and time again to Hancock and others but they choose to ignore it.
I watched the peripheral. Enjoyable in the āi donāt know what the f is going on or why any of this is happeningā kind of way 
. Generally a mindless action show with fairly neat tech ideas that may make sense if you could follow along, but probably doesnāt.
I donāt think you read what I said, a few truths in a mountain of myths. Iām talking about the general gist of these programs, not a specific true or false statement.
I watched one more episode last night, didnt really understand what was going on at some points and so went to bed early rather than watching another one
I had never heard of Graham Hancock before but looked him up after this discussion. You know itās bad when the first line of his wiki article calls him a pseudoscientist!

Thereās probably a few truths in the mountain of insults though

Tulsa King.
New York mafia capo Dwight āThe Generalā Manfredi, is released from prison after 25 years and exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma; realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a crew.
Pretty decent only 4 episodes in so far, and a really good performance from Stallone.
