Legacy of Lies (2020)
Scott Atkins, Jan Bernthal and Jim Caviezel 'same clone?
Are Scott Atkins, Jan Bernthal and Jim Caviezel 'same clone? Oh hang on Jon is actually likeable and Jim is a religious zealot, my bad hahahaha.
PASSSSSS .... same old, same old man or woman (if your name is Charlize Theron), on a mission, enough of the killing machines, who have taken the pacifice alterative road, only to be 'compelled' by circumstance to use their lethal abilities ahhhhhhhh.
Country Music (2019)
Excellent Series with some noticable misses sadly. (One man's opinion only)
Like most Ken Burns Documentaries this is excellently done but it had some real misses in my opinion, no mention of Roy Clark, and Vasar Clements, Linda Ronstad or Nitty Gritty Dirt Bands amazing May the Circle be Unbroken, which is a 1970' bible to the origins of true Country Music, the Eagles are just a name on a poster, Poco, Goose Creek Symphony is a non mention. Also this is very USA centric, yes the US is the origin of Country Music but no mention of Gordon Lightfoot, Ian and Syvia or Ann Murray? I just wish Ken had had a bigger vision for this well put together Documentary. This is Country Music the story of the music of only 6 US States and California cause we had to add it in lol.

Alone (2015)
Alone Artic in the treeline like 1000kms as the 'crow flys' or in this case the Raven from the real artic?
I was born in Yellowknife on Great Slave lake where this year Alone Artic is filmed. One no offence but this is not the Artic, it Boreal forest / borderline tundra but not the Artic. Great Slave is 400kms below the Artic Circle and over 1000 kms as a raven flys from Inuvik 3600kms by road (one of many true 'Artic' locations to base such a series from. Artic to a Northerner is the land of the Inuit not the Deni people. Also this show was filmed when there was still a lot of light and no real freezing (there is a 6 metre (20') thick solid surface of ice over Great Slave I the winter (there is a major Ice Hwy. from Hay River to Yellowknife) every winter. So saying these are 'Artic" conditions is like slightly stretching the truth lol. Do not get me wrong, I'm enjoying the series but some honesty about this years true 'location' would be nice. So like showing a northern Boreal Forest setting in early fall, is not the Canadian Artic sorry to burst anyones bubble.
