Knightfall - Season 1 [DVD] [2018] di Tom Cullen

Eye candy clothing, bloody battles and epic level intrigue with some history to back it up and a load of fictional extras to add to the story, this sucked me in and kept me watching. I'm a sucker for the Knights Templar at the best of times and this is no better or worse than many other series with them at the core.

Not too bad historically but takes a few liberties.

A Bright and Guilty Place: Murder, Corruption, and… di Richard Rayner

This absolutely fascinating book explores Los Angeles and environs from the mid 1920s into the 1930s and details the workings of The System: the intricate web of corruption and wealth that tied together the criminal underworld and police and legal networks. Real crimes--and their cover ups--are described. If this sounds like the stuff of noir authors like Raymond Chandler, Chandler himself was there and plays in own small part in the sordid goings-on. The book goes beyond the reality of graft to show how it inspired a film and literary genre that continues today.… (altro)

Los Angeles Without a Map (Paladin Books) di Richard Rayner

Amusing in places, but too 'out there' - the characters, whether real or imagined, are more like caricatures, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why Richard trailed to LA for Barbara. Except that he's a man, of course. Less Than Zero is a better sample of 80s LA.
