Rewatching both seasons of Fleabag. It's brilliant, hilarious, and sad.
Currently watching this series on Netflix too and although I know so much about the case already, it’s a good watch. It’s difficult growing up in Britain and not knowing about the Yorkshire Ripper as he’s still our most infamous serial killer to date after perhaps Jack the Ripper.OK, watched the first 2 episodes of this new one, The Ripper:
Definitely riveting! I never knew of such a serial killer, but what's uncanny is how close it is in terms of girls killed to another gem, The Green River Killer: Mind of a Monster:
'The Green River Killer: Mind of a Monster' Takes Investigation Discovery Viewers Inside Serial Killer's Twisted Motives
Investigation Discovery is diving into the twisted mind of Gary Ridgway as footage of the Green [...]popculture.com
What's so "at home" about The Green River Killer is that we live so, so close to those locations on Pacific Highway South, and the Green River itself. We even knew of someone who worked at Kenworth Trucking. In fact, we take walks along that river, and for the location of the first woman Gary Ridgway, the Meeker Bridge, we do walk to there!
And of course for the other infamous serial killer, Ted Bundy, Netflix has an excellent series about him: Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes:
A good amount of those locations in and around Seattle are definitely familiar to us. And our oldest son, when he was attending The University of Washington, has been to some of those Sorority Houses.
Oh I'll check out Frayed. Thanks for the recommendation.Loved this one in a "can't not watch a train wreck" kind of way. The show was well done, but the character of Fleabag was just so sadly compelling. Would have liked to see it continue.
Another one that I enjoyed was Frayed... wealthy British wife is widowed, and is forced to return to her hometown in Australia and deal with past issues. Sadly, only 6 episodes.
Will try and forget Sutcliffe, as I have not yet reached the end.Currently watching this series on Netflix too and although I know so much about the case already, it’s a good watch.

I think Sutcliffe changed our perceptions of what a murderer is to be honest. He wasn’t a big man and looked normal which is why nobody who knew him was suspicious of his character. The police were always a step behind and only caught him by accident and I can’t help but think a killer would not have been able to control the authorities for so long in this day and age. The absence of CCTV and mobile phones would make his reign of terror almost impossible today.
Did you watch the original TV series?Battlestar Galactica. Somehow I’ve not watched it before despite generally really liking sci-fi. I was aware of it but thought it was just run-of-the mill trashy sci-fi. How wrong I was. Incredibly dark and grown up
There is the mini-series, the four seasons of BSG, The Plan (video movie), & Razor (video movie)...Battlestar Galactica. Somehow I’ve not watched it before despite generally really liking sci-fi.

The 70s series? No. Never seen it and it’s not conveniently all on iPlayer eitherDid you watch the original TV series?
I started with the mini-series and am on season 3 (I think). They are all on BBC iPlayer here in the UK. Not sure the rest is. If I can find it somewhere I already pay for I might watch the rest.There is the mini-series, the four seasons of BSG, The Plan (video movie), & Razor (video movie)...
And there are two "prequels"; Caprica, & Blood and Chrome; if you wanna get crazy...?
(...I cannot speak towards Caprica because I never watched it, but definitely check out Blood and Chrome...)
Mrs AFB loved that show. I was pretty indifferent to it.Decided to go back and do a full run of Haven.
