The Queen's Gambit

Excellent portrayal of a chess master, each episode is perfect.

Trial of the Chicago 7 on Netflix. Not just for children of the 60's and 70's.

Occasionally brilliant, the second half is exciting and entertaining but getting there is slow going. At first I couldn't relate to the 15 year old gamer trapped alone in an apartment but he eventually adapted to his situation. A fun zombie movie for all ages, especially teenage girls who think boys are 'idiots'.

+1. This is the best series we have watched on Netflix in quite some time. Every episode is a gem.

Currently watching the series 'Wanted' , a cross between 'Thelma & Louise' and Harrison Fords the 'Fugitive'

Started off slow but once it got going hard to stop watching...

After all the football games were over today I got on netflix. I watched a new movie. Title is "Operation christmas drop."
If you or one of your buds are in the dumps this is one movie you should watch. Darn funny with a feel good story.

Cheers

Well done. Fun to watch. Amazing recreation of 50s and 60s world.
Wife and I are watching a second time. I'm seeing a lot of details I missed the first time.
And yes, the lead actor is engaging and beautiful to watch.
Best in a long time, imo.

I haven't seen the crown yet but everyone is talking about it? Is it worth a watch?

The Queen’s Gambit is really good. Short series, maybe 7 episodes.

I never watched an entire episode of Downton Abbey, it was like watching paint dry.
But The Crown is mesmerizing. The public expectations along with the isolation of Queen Elizabeth in service of a country is mind blowing. The acting is top notch and set design is perfection.
Highly recommended!

Moneyball is on Netflix so I finally watched it. Actually a really good movie, even though I'm not really in to baseball.

The Great British Bake-off is mindless fun to watch.

Watched The Outpost this morning....intense

The Outpost was excellent.Gave me a taste of what real soldiers go through. Very realistic.
Hillbilly Elegy is very good too.Great acting. The emotions were so true to life and I had no idea it was a true story based on a book written by the main character until the end.

Loved "Ratched"!

It is one of the most visually pleasing productions in recent memory, and an entertaining story to boot. The way it unfolds is not exactly what I expected.

Bing watched entire Queen's Gambit, enjoyed the movie series. Was surprised to learn Beth Harmon was not a real person.

Also watched Outpost, intense as was mention. Having watched numerous WWII documentaries from the Russian perspective, I thought battle scenes where realistic, like it is in real war.
