@bovidae Altered Carbon is next up for me after finishing Fargo!
Is that S1 of Taboo?
Started The Alienist, which is set late 19th century New York, about a serial killer preying on boys who work as 'girls' for the Cities elite....Daniel Bruhl, Luke Evans and Dakota Fanning.
Started well, but last ep I watched was a bit slow.
-
Yep, S1 of Taboo. S2 has yet to be made.
I've got free Neon for a year so will make the most of it and watch the shows that interest me. I don't have Lightbox and refuse to pay for Soho so that limits what I can watch. I am keen to see The Man in the High Castle but I think that's only available on Amazon Prime.

The Flair one was successful enough ESPN have already greenlit a 30-For-30 about Andre (in-production).
I mighta had my wires crossed. There actually is a new Andre the Giant documentary, it’s out April on HBO (not ESPN), and advance word is it’s awesome. Here’s the trailer:

On a pound for pound basis Boony is at least respectable I suppose, what was his exact tally?
-
FYI I was being sarcastic... @MN5 mentions that almost as much as the legend of Charlie Ngatai!

On the way to London? 52 cans. I only remember because it is one for each week of the year and it is seriously questionable.

i call bullshit! on my last flight they had run out of Heineken AND shiraz by the end of dinner service. 2 drinks is getting harder and harder.
Yea fuck seriously MN5, everyone in the world has heard of Andre's drinking. Shut the hell up. That said, sounds like Flair put away and absolute fuckload himself.

Yep, #metoo.
I have worked several AKL-HKG flights just before the sevens and advised extra "catering" would be required. We got some extra but still ran out. One guy doing 52 even with a stop in Singapore meant that the other 350ish people drank fucking nothing. Another myth busted I reckon.

David Boon scored 21 Test hundreds, including seven against England, but he also may (or may not) have posted the most famous half century of all.
While Boon has always refused to talk about it, several teammates swear he downed 52 beers on the way to the 1989 series, breaking a record of 44 set by Doug Walters and Rod Marsh on earlier tours.
While Boon has said that reports of his record were "a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale", that’s not the way Geoff Lawson and Dean Jones remember it.
Lawson says he was keeping score on airline sickbags and Jones claims to have paced Boon through 22 beers, just the other side of Singapore.
Jones says he went upstairs and fell asleep, waking to loud applause and the announcement from the plane’s captain that Boon had reached 52.
"I know there are plenty of stories flying around about me that have been greatly embellished over the years," Boon said back in 2006.
"But that’s how it is… we played our cricket in an era where blokes learned never to let the truth get in the way of a good story."
