Please let us know the conclusion.

Anything that doesn't suck on Netflix streaming is essential information.

I found one: Sons of Anarchy. Very cool series that I'm sure many here have seen. I haven't, so it's new to me and streaming. :10:
 
so far kinda fascinating....

38 year old artistic dark alcoholic, gets beaten nearly to death by 5 kids in a parking lot one night....

in a coma for a few weeks, brain damaged. has no memories prior to waking up from the coma...

had to relearn how to talk, walk ect.

he makes his own therapy out of creating very artistic personal narratives to work his way through what he lost using tiny solder dolls and models



medicaid stopped paying for his therapy after like 40 days
 
I almost only watch documentaries and national geographic shit anymore. that's why I love netflix streaming/WI

endless amounts of shit to watch on the big screen.


stevek. speaking of documentaries.... there is the documentary that was done by the guy that did Hoop Dreams.... one of the greatest long term documentaries ever.

the title is called oddly enough. "Stevie"

and its about the reunion of the documentary guy ( I think his name is steve james....so two steves) with a trailor park white trash guy named Stevie. Now the documentary guy was Stevie's "big brother" mentor when the documentary guy was in college and stevie was 9-10


Stevie's had all sorts of rough shit happen to him, abuse... molestation, abandonment ect. he's been in and out of every institution in Illinois.

now he is an adult, and engaged to a retarded girl. The documentary goes back to reconnect and see how the guy is doing that. In the midst of that, Stevie is arrested for the molestation of his young niece (his sisters daughter)

the documentary follows the whole crazy family around for the next few years leading up to the trial.....
 
I saw Stevie. It was a good doc. Not warm and fuzzy by a longshot, but just eye-opening. It gives you shit to think about like a good documentary will.
