Andrew "Chef" Glick sits in a candle-lit tattoo parlor getting his Pagan's Motorcycle Club tattoo covered up with orange and red flames. As he surrenders to the pain, Chef tells one of the most dramatic crime stories of the last twenty years: the 2012 murder of radio host April Kauffman near Atlantic City, NJ. April's husband Jim, a respected endocrinologist, secretly wrote illegal opioid prescriptions for the Pagans, and later hired Chef's mentor in the club, Fred "Miserable" Augello, to kill his wife. But for five years no one questioned Dr. Kauffman or his Pagan co-conspirators. Finally, a new detective pressured Chef to commit the ultimate sin: wearing a wire on his Pagan brother.
- StarsSally McNeilJohn LowdenShantina LowdenInterviews with friends, family and Sally McNeil herself chart a bodybuilding couple's rocky marriage and its shocking end in a Valentine's Day murder.This interesting series is about how childhood abuse and married partner mutual abuse can lead to significant harm to all involved including innocent children. However, going one causation level lower, one needs to look at the role of misuse of androgenic steroids by both partners in the marriage. The danger of misuse of illegal androgenic steroids was not well appreciated by the judicial system or the public in 1996. The most dangerous side effect is explosive anger evident in both partners. Probably, the outcome would not have been so destructive minus the steroids. Prevention requires knowledge and awareness.

Episode 10, The Climax, is the end of five seasons of reality film encompassing 49 Episodes all variants of the same basic, but entertaining plot. I approached this series with curiosity but pessimistic expectations. I watched Series 5 and ended with a sense of uncertainty as to what it meant. However, the curiosity had increased such that I embarked on a binge view of Series 1-4.
The series is composed of five distinct retreats, advertised to social players as a complimentary party with other young adults just beyond the adolescent social period. The criteria for acceptance was a high sexual drive, in concert with brief relationships, with no desire to build an emotional connection. However, the guests were not aware that this was a psychotherapeutic retreat with the goal of changing their outlook and behavior, from players into persons committed to a more lasting relationship as couples. The players were shocked and disappointed when notified of the authentic basis for their gathering. However, they were motivated to stay by a reward of substantial prize money for players who best transitioned into couples, dedicated to each other rather than individually to themselves.
I came to appreciate that most of the players had been hurt by emotionally painful relational rejection in their past, leaving them afraid of being hurt again, and phobic of commitment beyond an emotionless transient interaction. The first goal of the therapeutic retreat was for them to face the unpleasant truth of that fear.
The second goal was to recognize that they had feelings of emotional rather than just physical attractions to another person.
The third goal was to change their behavior from that of a player to that of a caring person towards another and for that to be bilateral.
Some, but not all, players were able to make the transition, but most were able to gain insight into themselves and this, plus the chance at a monetary award, kept them trying.
The successful couples bonded very well. However, I experienced cautionary thoughts. First was that the success was due to starstruck love, a physiologic experience of pleasure, which is transient, lasting from just a day up to six months, when it usually fades. In essence, one form of pleasure had been replaced by another. This made the long-term outcome uncertain, but still possibly successful for the couples who had taken the first step towards a long-term relationship.
For me, the most interesting part of the series was speculating which couples were and were not likely to succeed, and why. I learned something about human behavior important in the lives of people in that time of young adulthood. - StarsMorgan FreemanThe incredible story of life's epic, four-billion-year journey on Earth comes alive in this series from Steven Spielberg and the team behind "Our Planet."This is a groundbreaking series about the evolution of life on Earth.
- StarsDavid BeckhamVictoria BeckhamFisher StevensWith never-before-seen footage, this docuseries follows David Beckham's meteoric rise from humble beginnings to global football stardom.The British football (soccer) fans should have been given a red card, and been disqualified from the stadium, because of their disgraceful anger about a simple error on the part of David Beckam, not at all typical of his character. This was a well-done documentary, especially since I know little about British or world football (soccer).
- StarsRobert JackSusanna HerbertBen CartwrightA Chronicled look at the fall of the Romanov dynasty in Russia.This film series gave me insight into a historical event about which I had only a superficial knowledge. It depicts the 1917 revolutionary transition of Russia from a monarchical autocracy into a communist autocracy.
The Russian Romanov autocracy had lasted for 300 years, and the Russian communist autocracy has now lasted a little over 100 years.
The 1917 revolution was atrociously violent, manifested by the well-known murder of an entire family consisting of two parents, four female children, and one male child.
The transition from dictatorship to democracy has yet to be determined with respect to a time and the option of a violent versus peaceful transition. - StarsJohn BoyegaHans-Erdmann SchönbeckGeorge MussbachThrough vividly enhanced archival footage and voices from all sides of the conflict, this docuseries brings WWII to life like never before.This documentary, encompassing six episodes, summarizes World War 2, a war that involved all 7 continents, six of which experienced combat. I think its relative brevity would make it interesting to viewers not familiar with this war. It contains colorized black and white filming some of which I have not seen in other films of WW II. It also encompasses more of what civilians experienced. Episode 6 deviates from a summary to focus more depth on several events such that it takes on a “woke” characteristic.
- StarsSouad FaressBuck BraithwaiteWill StevensAlexander was King of the ancient Greek city state Macedon and widely considered to be one of history's greatest and most successful military commanders. By the age of 30 he had created one of the largest empires in history.I enjoyed the series but was disappointed by the user reviews opining that it is a poor example of a documentary.
