What was HBOs conclusion? I'm not a subscriber.

The director did not provide a conclusion. I think that was one of the good parts about the show, which is that they really didn't try to spend a lot of time providing an answer to the question posed by the title. They touched upon some of the creepiness factors associated with the other ex-boyfriend of the mother, but were also careful to point out evidence that tended to exonerate him.

The story is really more about some shoddy police work, prosecutorial misconduct, and racial prejudices in a small, rural community.

The payoff has started at the end of Ep4 for Typewriter. Hoping for a doozy, but have a sneaky feeling it's gonna be a letdown. One more ep left for the first season (if there's gonna be a second, I dunno).

Letdown. Not horrible, but not good. Great setup, but overall? Meh.

I didn't know either because I have retired from The Bachelor.

BTW, my daughter just roped her boyfriend into watching the next season of The Bachelor. Dr. Mrs. and I used to watch TB with her before we got married.

My girl is wicked smaht.

I had just read the People (shudder) article about it before I posted.

That show is ****ing weird and I really don’t think any of them would register a reading on an intelligence test.

The show seems now to be 100% about boosting your budding Twitter Influencer career.

This is as opposed to its pure beginnings, when it was a consensual slave auction with partial nudity.
 
Re: TV: One Person's Trash...

It's amazing to me (maybe it shouldn't be anymore?) how many people have turned their stint in reality TV into a career. Obviously most never do (and some probably never cared to) and some have that did want it flamed out spectacularly, but some I must begrudgingly admit have profited handsomely.

Especially the one this season, makes the others look brilliant.

The guy wrote an jingle for a dog food brand with 22 followers on Twitter and thinks that is his career achievement thus far. He thinks there's a future for him.

“At this point, my most major accomplishment is that I’ve signed a deal with a dog food company,” Jed told his potential father-in-law after Robert asked how his career was going and if he’d be able to financially support his daughter. “I’ve already written their jingle and that’s been like my first real breakthrough.”

The musician’s ex-girlfriend Haley Stevens revealed to PEOPLE in June that the two were still dating when Jed left to film The Bachelorette, telling her that he was only joining the show to boost his music career.

Yeah. Colton was a more or less decent human being, which of course made the show boring. Hannah's claim to fame was being Miss Alabama at some point, which should pretty much tell you everything you need to know. The last couple seasons they slog through and then try to have something crazy happen on the last episode, which they tease all season long. Ah well, at least there's BIP.

I assume BIP will eventually move to a forum (Netflix?) in which they can do full frontal and live stream the actual Honeymoon Suite sex. That's really all the show has left.

Russell and I spent our undergraduate years in Potsdam. I followed this case because the accused was the Clarkson soccer coach at the time of the incident.

It seemed like a prosecutor looking for a promotion.
 
Re: TV: One Person's Trash...

I watched The Great Hack on Netflix last night. For those not familiar, it's a documentary about Cambridge Analytica and the psychological operations they conducted on the Brexit vote, the 2016 US Presidential election, and some smaller elections around the globe, primarily using data gleaned from Facebook accounts.

The movie is certainly interesting, but I thought it could have gone a little further. Once we get past the nastiness of Facebook just selling off data on its members, I think there is a very interesting question about the appropriateness of using that data to form a profile of each of us individually and then using it to try to change our behavior. I'll admit I'm kind of torn on it. At a very basic level that's really what marketing and advertising are all about. Trying to get us to change our behavior by appealing to certain likes, dislikes, fears, etc...

The movie doesn't really delve into that question at all, although it seems implied that the director thinks that such operations are generally dangerous or bad.

The movie itself though is certainly worth a watch.

Dear White People S3.

Took a bit to get into the groove this season, but remains a decent show. Got about halfway through it, there are some really raw moments, tackling some social stuff with no apologies. I would still recommend it.
 
Re: TV: One Person's Trash...

Caught a couple eps of the new season of GLOW (released today on Netflix): It's still solid. Not great/must see, but IMO very good. The Maron/Brie chemistry still drives the show, and it's a really good chemistry.

Haven't seen the Rocko's Modern Life special on Netflix yet, but from what I heard, they did a positive transgender story arc and I am so happy.
