I don't watch any of these without reading the negative reviews first. If they're mild, it might be OK. If they go out of their way to be insulting, like for this movie, I avoid. Positive reviews mean nothing, some people love every piece of crap they see. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

An athlete bike rider decides to experiment with doping and document the results He gets help from a doping expert in Russia. 1/2 through the Doc it takes an unusual turn International intrigue, threats , state sponsored cheating and Putin Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Norwegians thought it was very funny as well. It seems they have a good sense of humor about their own culture. |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I wish there were some venue where doping was encouraged right along with vigorous record keeping. These athletes are willing guinea pigs. For people with physical damage, I've wondered if there isn't some combo of steroids or growth hormones to make physical rehab more effective? Look what doping has done for the players in baseball, the Olympics, etc. It's crazy to not think there could be some societal benefit from these compounds. What a wasted opportunity not to research what is already being done. It seems many leo's are testing the efficacy of peds, I wan't to know which ones are safe? The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Too bad it sucked so bad by the 3rd season, it was unwatchable. It was the first series Nflix produced, it went crazy with new series after LH was a hit. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11790 | Really enjoying Ozark Kind of like Lillehammer in that a guy comes into a new area with lots of money to buy businesses Of course Lillehammer is a dark comedy. Ozark is just dark. 1st episode pretty violent setting up the premise. Up to episode 5 and its pretty good Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
