I went to Cartagena a few years back. Really interesting/beautiful place Colombia, will go back soon and take one of the drug kingpin tours. Narcos had some great political history from an era I really like.

I stumbled upon an interesting BBC documentary where 3 Welsh students are dropped into the South Korean education system. Astounding the devotion/focus/effort the parents & students put forth, but equally disturbing is the suicide rate of young people due to the pressure. 3-part series, all available on youtube.

Nice Wingboy. I heard about that Springsteen show and how quick it went up on Netflix. His shows are great. He has a HBO special too.
I binge watched Animal Kingdom S3 recently. Another show I've been watching since the start. This season started slower. It picked up steam but didn't seem to kick into high gear. OTOH, things got dark this season and next season looks to be the same way. A lot of slow burn and intensity going on. I enjoyed it.

Meh I have been watching since the first season it was great. The last 2 seasons were kinda boring, it's lost it pizazz. It is well done will keep watching though.

Some of the "fight" has gone out of Vikings lately....more about politics, etc. like Floki's deal.
If only their wardrobe was. I couldn't watch past the point that I saw the LARP leather armour that I have in my closet on one of the characters.

Which armour was it? With the amount of characters they have to outfit, seems pretty variable so far. Have seen some homemade looking stuff on other shows/movies and they make me cringe.
It was an older version of this.

Don't recall seeing that one. Did they at least age and weather it?
Nope. And this black biker leather fetishism in 'historical' shows needs to stop. Vikings (more appropriately Norsemen) wore chainmail for the most part. Do you have any idea how tough it was to dye stuff black back then? Basically impossible.

Much of the wardrobe choices are to fill in for what ppl expect/want. Most don't have any idea what actual historic garb and items were. Sometimes it's pretty boring....so, in comes the black leather bondage gear. sometimes that's not a bad choice.

Perhaps, but I tend to expect a little more from a channel called "History." It'll be interesting what they do with the new show "Project Bluebook", which pulls from the same stories as a late '70s show called "Project UFO." I'm expecting something along the lines of "Ancient Aliens" in dramatic form.
why would they age and weather it? Maybe Lars just got his new suit that summer. I would suspect lots looks homemade because a lot of it was homemade, if you were a viking.
