Started watching Medici, late last night, am on episode 3.

I started watching that too! I think I'm on #4 ... I found it a little slow going but still interesting.

Yes that's my only complaint is that it's slow going.

Love browsing the documentary section on Netflix. I just stumbled upon this one today and haven't finished it yet.

Quite a fascinating bit of political history considering where we find ourselves today.

ABOUT THE FILM

In the summer of 1968 television news changed forever. Dead last in the ratings, ABC hired two towering public intellectuals to debate each other during the Democratic and Republican national conventions. William F. Buckley Jr. was a leading light of the new conservative movement. A Democrat and cousin to Jackie Onassis, Gore Vidal was a leftist novelist and polemicist. Armed with deep-seated distrust and enmity, Vidal and Buckley believed each other’s political ideologies were dangerous for America. Like rounds in a heavyweight battle, they pummeled out policy and personal insult—their explosive exchanges devolving into vitriolic name-calling. Live and unscripted, they kept viewers riveted. Ratings for ABC News skyrocketed, and a new era in public discourse was born.

I used to watch House of Cards and think: "Thank god we don't have a real Francis Underwood in the White House".

Now we do.
