A 3 part documentary/drama on Ch4 - The Fall: Skydive Murder Plot

This is a true story about a woman who was supposed to die
In 2015, skydiver Victoria Cilliers miraculously survived a 4,000-foot fall to the ground when both of her parachutes failed on a jump. It soon becomes clear that this 'accident' was actually attempted murder... and her husband Emile is the prime suspect.

Hear from Victoria in her first in-depth TV interview in this innovative True Crime docudrama.

The drama elemednts are done in a very strange way and 3 episodes are maybe a bit too long. Fascinating stuff though.

Yes bit  ironic how a lot of the banter in first couple of series is about divorce etc

Finished series 3 of Sweet Tooth last night. A good conclusion - I liked it (se02 notwithstanding). 8/10 overall

Saturday night we sat down to Road House on Amazon Prime.

Ho hum. Twas an ok way to spend 2 hours but on the whole very predictable. 

The highlight of the film was definitely Conor McGregor starring here as Knox who was having soooo much fun.

I was a bit disappointed to find out that this was directed by none other than Doug Liman who about 20 years ago helmed one of my all-time favourite films, The Bourne Identity. Did he peak too soon? Or is it just that TBE has a special place in my heart due to the time and place that I saw it (whilst I was working in Poland)?

Anyway, overall 3/5
