To the Lake, A Russian series on Netflix that is unrelenting in its grimness and fucking great.

@Giles Absolutely spot on. I've got 1 more episode to go. Best thing I've seen for a while. If you ever want a game over a beer in the garden, let me know…. out of work hours of course 

[Giles]

We're 3 in.

As @Paula  helpfully said earlier, 'there's a total of 7, so that means 4 to go' - thank Christ we have a mind like that looking after the finances…..

[Madame Buttonfly]

    I guess I deserved that @Giles

@steelworker and @Graham it's the best thing I've seen for a while, I binge-watched the entire mini-series and then decided to re-watch with Giles.  I've never played a game of chess in my life!

And to think, she's managing the finances because she's the more capable one.

Girlfriend said I should watch this–--Totally enjoing it---
Beth Harmon is a badass.

Great show!..

Savouring the last TOP GEAR S29 ep for tomorrow… Same with THE MANDALORIAN S02E01... That is the way.

[Seul]

Last episode of THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT, albeit being a tad predictable, was SO good…

[Baba-san]

Thanks for the recommendation all… just finished The series  and loved it... agreed @Seul about the last episode … and how kooky is Beth harman —- I’m in love 

[Seul]

Screw you guys: THE MANDALORIAN is still massive fun…

The Queens Gambit was amazing. I had reservations due to the Chess theme, but it paced so perfectly as to not drag on about chess and have the viewer lose interest. Brilliant brilliant writing and acting.

@Streetwise Hercules my wifes favorite show of all time, though she called season 1 "pirate porn" cause there was hardly any clothes worn.

If it got picked up by Netflix it would explode like Schitt's Creek did recently. It's brilliant acting and writing, gory and hilarious, devastating and action packed.

@Streetwise:

Anyone watched Black Sails?

I couldn’t stand a few of the characters from the word go, but I’m totally hooked and into series 3.

I like it, too. I know a lot of folks complain about the pacing and lack of overarching storyline, but I enjoy the kinda slow moving, low stakes vibe.

I think the Mandalorian is the best Star Wars content since the original trilogy. Rogue one is good too but the bounty hunter/wild west element just pushes it over the top for me.

Checked out the first couple episodes of The Undoing. I dig it. Love a good murder mystery.

Glad there's so much TV available in the Covid era. Sometimes we all just need to escape reality for a few hours.

And Olyphant's gray manes… My gods is that man sexy...

[Giles]

Loving this…..

[Seul]

Way good indeed

[Giles]

I've asked Sarina to watch it and tell me what she thinks of it from a Japanese perspective….

[Seul]

Lemme know what you think of it from a Bwitish perspective
