Over three episodes, this series talks about Rupert Murdochs increase and fall, consisting of that enormous scandal with Rebekah Brooks. It likewise takes a look at the inauguration of Tony Blair into the fold. Murdoch didnt usually opt for [people] perceived to be socialist leaders, so I believed that part was fascinating. We now understand Blair is quite a centrist, but this series covered his preliminary invite to a Murdoch celebration. It was powerful, the method it showed footage of Blair stepping on to a boat, and there was no going back. Its truly intriguing to see how power affects contemporary politics.Singer-songwriter Mark Lanegan.

I listen to great deals of drill and grime, I follow [music sites] Trench and GRM Daily, but with this album, Ive returned into singer-songwriter stuff. I saw her at a celebration in Tasmania at the start of 2020. She was brilliant: off-the-wall, a bit random however in a great way. Its folk, a little psychedelic, really minimalist.

Individuals animalised, numerous deaths, you name it. Visually, its surreal and actually disturbing, however a genuine talk about humanity.
