The "did you know this streams on Netflix?" thread

[Jeff Lebowski]

I just finished the Netflix documentary called “The trials of Gabriel Fernandez” and I am emotionally drained. How can a Mother subject their child to torture. Watching the episode where he writes a Mother’s Day Card for his Mom (Who beat and tortures him) that we often see our kids do from school caused me to openly weep for this innocent child who yearned to be loved.

It was shocking to see how a child protective system and law enforcement can ignore blatant abuse and how the accumulation of neglect can embolden abuse.

I held my daughter (who is the same age this boy was before he died) and told her I loved her and held her a little longer last night.

Just finishing up the current season of Narco. I love that series. Even more fun this year in that I can understand some of the Spanish.

I just started season 1. Been fun and crazy so far.

It is great. The Escobar stuff is insane. I would google stuff after each episode thinking "No way", but all the major events they depict actually happened.

I have a friend from Colombia who lived through all that. Her father was a supreme court justice. She has some incredible stories. At one point, he shipped his wife and all of the kids off to America for their safety. She went to HS and college here and never went back. She said her dad rode it out in spite of constant and very real death threats and bribery attempts. Her brother is now the main attorney for the Colombian president.

Narcos. Not Narco.

I too am a fan of Narcos. Can't wait for next season.

Also the theme song has been stuck in my head for a few weeks now.

Soy el fuego que arde tu piel...

Narcos. Not Narco.

Narcos: Mexico, not Narcos.

I am doing good. Needed a break for a little while. Found myself too angry all the time and it has been a stressful/hectic few months.

Likely to still keep my posting down as I feel I am in a better place and got a lot going on.

Glad you’re in a better place but try to avoid watching horrible Netflix documentaries.

I'll pass. It sounds impactful, but I don't need anything else heavy right now.

If you want to watch something that will certainly take your mind off coronavirus, check out Tiger King. One of the most batshit crazy things I’ve ever seen.

Just watched the first episode last night. It’s already weird. I assume that batshit gets crazier from here on out.

It does. In ways you can’t even imagine.
