Thank the Gods for this out of the ordinary, slightly insane experience. Totally different take on what would happen if the Greek Gods ruled the World & especially present day Crete. From a scintillating Jeff Goldblum as Zeus to the politics of managing the Underworld, this series is a whirling Dervish in the world of TV streaming. I only wish that somehow it will still be renewed.

Couple of guys on a crusade to expose the crooked American Telemarketing industry that they had worked in. The joy of this documentary is in watching their efforts over two decades on their own eccentric path. The documentary is a gritty journey that shows real people on the edges who often have more grace than some of the folk running society.

Black. Dark, dank, no end in sight. I felt like I was descending into a deep mine when I watched this Movie , which is overlong but has moments of incandescence. The Movie is also packed full of characters from the world of Physics whom it seems to think we should know as they swirl past. I had to get Wikipedia out as my viewing companion.

Its a great journey at times and Nolan's master touch is unmistakable, always there. Murphy as Oppenheimer looks solemn throughout and carries the weight of the Bomb with tortuous difficulty. Downy Junior is for me the standout performance with his intense hatred of Oppenheimer bubbling out in his role as Chairman Strauss of the Atomic Energy Board. Oppenheimer is portrayed as a martyr of the "Red Scare" period of the 1950's, when in reality he did give up the names of previous students and colleagues. So was he really an American Prometheus chained to a rock as suggested by the narrative ? Seems that his post war life was fairly comfortable and the Movie ends with him getting a medal from the US President.

A good watch , but make sure you are well rested beforehand.
