Very good show. I think there are some posts on it a little ways back in this thread.

For the love of all that is good and holy--

Drop *everything* and go binge watch "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix.

It's absolutely *outstanding*. Best thing I think I've seen on television in literally decades.

It's only seven episodes-- the first one or two episodes start fairly slow as they're building the foundation-- after that, it's off to the races.

I've watched it twice and my wife's watched it three times. Every single friend or co-worker we've suggested it to has absolutely loved it.

Watch it. Now. You won't be disappointed.

If you guys haven't seen Homeland, stop what you're doing and go watch it.

Obviously...we don't count season 9. They were alright, but no where near the 1st 8.

Honestly Homeland lost our attention around season 4. Stopped watching and lost the care to get back into it. This was a little after Claire started going rogue and dealing with her medical issues.

Some of the later seasons were good. She is really an amazing actress. What they did to Quinn kinda annoyed us.

Billions - Great show. So many great quotes, see link below. The youtube link is one of the best scenes for anyone that knows someone with entitlement issues.

BTW - my wife still doesn't understand why I think that scene is so hilarious.

I don’t think we made it all the way through the first episode on that one. Actually can’t remember.

Steeler · 12-04-2020, 06:17 PM

Series called Harlots is well done IMO. You can guess what it's about.

Either their budget was significantly cut and they to scrap a lot, or the whole idea was not the typical clusterf##k of "twist and stories and sh#t" where at some point you begin to struggle following, but rather "what if we make you doubt yourself"... in which case they underachieved.

P.S. Was pleasantly surprised to see Kidman again, I thought she was cancelled for good.

P.P.S. Elena for some reason reminded me a chubby version of Jennifer Lawrence. Probably took same acting classes.

Sixty Days In. The shows been on for many Seasons - six, I think, but started to get into watching it again.

Just started “The Undoing” on HBO. Three episodes in, and it is very good.

Oh no..... good to know. Forewarned is forearmed so we will proceed carefully. If I sense the episodes are deteriorating will pull the plug....
