Discovery have done an 8 part Narcos style drama around the capture of the Unabomber. It's fairly low budget but I've always been fascinated by the case so really enjoying it so far.

Anyone else watching this?

Yep, I thoroughly enjoyed it :)

It tickled me that both leads were Brits, well Worthington is more Aussie than Brit but he was born here. I didn't recognise Paul Bettany at all and only noticed it was him when the credits rolled on the final episode. :D

Episode 6 when you saw Ted's childhood was incredible and the highlight of the season. It almost felt like they could have removed that episode because it was a complete departure from the rest but it very much more humanised him.

Probably the first time I've ever been conflicted when it comes to a criminal. Of course he deserved life for what he did, but damn... they absolutely screwed him over when it came to giving him a fair trial. Not sure what to think about that.
