We watched American Factory the other night. It was really interesting and worth a watch. It's by the Obama's production company.

I want to watch that, Luna, will give it a go.

Not Netflix but I have been watching The L Word, the Q Generation (on Sky) and it's good. I watched some of the original one years ago but you could easily watch it without having seen it.

I loved The L Word, I didn't realise it was on again!

I also meant to say, I watched and liked Hail Satan? on Netflix too. It's about The Satanic Temple who I have a lot of time for.

Ooh, that sounds interesting. Thanks!

As for Inside No. 9, I usually love it but haven't liked either of the new episodes so far.

Just finished Sex Education S2 (I've been trying to savour it not binge it). It's SO good. Hilarious and heartbreaking and sweet . The characters and the actors are so brilliant in it.

I am big on Satanists. They seem decent chaps.

I've followed them for a while, mainly after seeing them outside various planned parenthood places over the years. Their 7 tenants to live by are brilliant too. :mrgreen:
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

How actually rude is it? What’s the cringe factor, do you reckon?

Its quite graphic in its descriptions but not as graphic in what it actually shows, I don't find it cringey at all. Its really well done, and probably not what you might be imagining it to be.

Mate, it's definitely not for kids if that's the reason you're asking! If you're asking for you then, you're an adult so you'll probably be ok ;)

I only watch Sex Education if the kids are out or unconscious.

I watched all of The Split on iPlayer today. It was good, and I hope there’s another series. I really liked Stephen Mangan in it.
