Six Underground was insane (typical Michael Bay), but still lots of fun!

Never heard of '6 Underground'. It's not in my list. Thanks!
Just an aside, I was thinking TV viewing had changed. When there were only 3 channels you could get, each broadcaster put their best shows on different nights so people could watch. You could say to someone, "how about that show last night?" and they would know.
Now, people talk about things I have never heard of. We don't share the same culture any more.

I started watching it. I couldn’t finish it. The editing was so disjointed I could barely follow what was happening.

I liked it. Like Xerxes said, very disjointed. But you expect that from Michael Bay.
Good humour, good action, and an even believable story!

Now we have 5 Discovery Channels. You can watch "Who really gives a shit about How Its made" episodes from 1986 repeated every 3 hours over 5 channels 24/7...... candlesticks fence posts shovels nutcrackers cigarette tins tea cups....

I like "How It's Made".
Not at the frequency though.

YEah they seem to have extended the free preview on BBC-E, and the Smithsonian Channel preview finally has some new stuff. The first month of preview has exctly the same shows as were on in the summertime free preview. Be nice if PBS ditched some of the paid ad shit and ran some decent shit.

A couple of my favourites have disappeared from both the PBS site and Netflix in favour of "Buy this DVD!"

This one is the exact reason why I think Zoos should be banned. Some guy from "North Texas" breeds tigers so he can sell people the experience of petting a tiger kitten. But kittens grow up.
Lots of things to get you pissed off here. Like, you start to think "this guy is a douche!", but then they show you people who are worse! It's all turtles after that. Never thought I'd be happy to see PETA.
I keep hearing about it over on the right. Dana Loesch loves it.
That series is crazy. Every last person on that show should be in a circus sideshow.

"Pandemic"
If there ever was a prescient show for what we are doing today, this is it.
Filmed during last years swine flu outbreaks, and referencing the ebola and Avian flu outbreaks to the few years before, it goes through the process of spreading, containing and ultimately eradicating a contagion. If you have any doubts as to why we must self isolate, this series will explain it.
Just a tip, the first couple episodes are a bit boring. They go through the histories of pandemics, and through some of the outbreaks there have been in recent years. The avian flu that was in China a few years ago really scared them though. If you are like me and have finished the rest of Netflix, it is very informative.
