    I would say it is "warts and all", it covers his work, the best\popular and also what didn't connect - but does not shy away from the dark side of his personal life.

    The Truth vs. Alex Jones

    This is a very hard and very sad watch and shows what how vile humans can be.

    Yes very interesting how they use digital devices to link people to crimes, even the heart beat of an Apple Watch analysed to determine if someone was relaxed and went to bed after a crime occured.

    All 3 episodes are up on 4 Player.

    Oh yeah I have watched all three, all very good.

    That second one was particularly savage, her new boyfriend and his mate murdering her ex partially over 1k, while her apple watch has her home fast asleep.

    What the doc didn't mention...she was pregnant with the murdered man's baby at the time and later gave birth. She is due for possible day release soon. She got off very lightly.

    New series of The Jinx is supposed to be a real dissapointment. Not sure I'll even bother to check out the first episode.

    Watched Miriam: Death of a Reality Star, it started on Channel 4 last night, 3 episodes it's up on their player. It's about the outcome of a reality tv show that ran in 2004 on Sky One called "There's Something About Miriam". 6 men go in to a villa in Ibiza to try and get with Miriam who has a secret to hide and in the final episode when the winner is selected reveals that they were born a man. I remember the show at the time, the media pretty much all took the mick out of the 6 men and Miriam, a totally different time to today. This show reveals the tragic life afterwards for Miriam and interviews some of the contestants on the show. It's rather crazy the lack of psychological assessment of those who took part and the way Sky TV just sailed off in to the sunset after the show aired.

    An ad from the original show…

    Pompeii the New Dig on BBC2 was good, bit drawn out but I've read \ seen a lot about Pompeii so hard to find a new angle but this asked some interesting questions. Trying to imagine how many people survived, how they might have done so etc.

    11 minutes is very good. It's a 4 parter about the las Vegas shooting in 2017

    Time is contagious, everybody is getting old.

    MoviePass MovieCrash, a HBO documentary on the cinema pass startup company MoviePass that offered subscribers in the US an unlimited pass for cinemas for $9.95 a month. The business model is crazy in that the company was being charged full admission fees by the cinemas each time the user went. They thought their subsciber data could strike deals with film studios and cinemas along with stock price could eventually make it profitable.

    Channel 4 have an absolutely brilliant documentary called Super Surgeons A Chance at Life.

    Three episodes in total, I found it really moving not an easy watch for anyone has suffered from or been affected by cancer which unfortunately is pretty much everyone.
