I can’t watch Criminal Minds either (or anything in that genre). Also thinking of cancelling Netflix because the auto preview makes browsing intolerable! Besides, then I could resubscribe to Britbox .

You know you can turn off the sound, don't you? Just click the speaker icon, IIRC, and get an "X." You won't hear the sound again until you click it back on. You can't do anything about the video portion, but at least the obnoxious sound goes away.

It's not the sound. It's the fact it freezes because it's loading the preview instead of advancing to the next icon I've clicked on. Thanks tho.

It's also fascinating how far we've come with technology and controls with our justice system and how much we lacked of this when Bundy was able to trek across the country and put on that circus in court.

Also finished Fyre. Enjoyed it and love how everyone's joked about it on twitter.
I just watched the same two shows. I thought I knew most of the pertinent facts about Ted Bundy because I have read books about him, but this show really delved deep. I made the mistake of Googling some of the victims as I was watching and it got to be a bit too much for me. I regretted it after looking up the 12 year old victim, especially. What an exceptionally sadistic person he was. You're so right about the technology, too. I'd like to think he would have been apprehended much, much sooner today.


I just watched Fyre yesterday. I kept thinking, "This has to be a parody, right?!" What a convoluted mess. Andy King talking about what he would do to get that Evian water just made me bark-laugh. Take one for the team, Buddy!

I understand perfectly about turning off netflix because you feel a need to watch shows just because you're paying for it even though there's really not much that appeals especially after you've watched all you really wanted to. This is why I now just wait till many of my regular series return and then I will turn my service back on, I'm thinking I'll turn it back on either this Feb or March after I've exhausted all my viewing pleasurable shows off I'll turn it and continue watching my Amazon series. Call me cheap, but, I don't see the point in paying when I'm not making use of it for months on end. I'm sure at some point they'll put an end to me being able to do this, but for now, it's my thing to do at least once a year.

Well, I assumed because I am almost to the last episode and it is the same point towards where the book ended.

I just looked and it is coming back. Joe evidently is moving to LA for a fresh start and someone new to stalk.

Bodyguard was very good...hope there’s a season 2. We just finished season 2 of The Punisher and liked that, now looking for something else. I was just reading that Happy Valley is an under rated Netflix show so we’ll probably give that a try tonight.

Not Netflix but my favorite show right now is Killing Eve. It got renewed for a second season before the first season was even over. It’s about a cute, happy, perky psychopath and the woman hunting her.
