    The vast majority of recommendations are from torrent sites, not from being watched on TV.

     

    Sometimes the torrent site gets mentioned but more often than not, they're from of of 3 or 4 of the well known sites.

    Forum rules prohibit posting links to the direct movie or show.

     

    If you're having trouble finding something, just ask.

    Could just be a simple NF,  AP,   HBO, or PB saves searching around for something someone already knows

    After denigrating Dark

    I needed a SF fix so I'm getting into it. It's well done but slow w/ a Tolstoy-esque plethora of interacting, or interacted, characters. It'd be good to read up on who all these people are and even read a recap of an episode before watching. Apparently the 3rd season kinda goes off the rails, so I may not complete it.

     

    And I watched Tales From The Loop:

     

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8741290/

     

    which is light, passable SF for you fans, nothing too exciting. Bit of Black Mirror on occasion, Stranger Things. Harks back to the earlier days of SF, think Ray Bradbury stories. See the art of Simon Stålenhags to understand the inspiration behind it.

     

    Doesn't wrap things up, characters and story threads, just kinda stops. But OK--worked.   

     

    Have you tried "Raised by Wolves" for your SF fix? get over the first boring 30 mins and its brilliant stuff

    so why didnt you check brazil and mexico too?

    to prove me wrong?

    argentina opened on 27 october but only buenos aires.

    turkey also completly open , with no need for test or quarantine, and so are few other european countries.

     

    5.7 million infections and 163,000 deaths in Brazil. Think I will wait

     

     

    I am sorry but you are wrong about Turkey also, I am only checking because I am looking for somewhere to go

     

    Travel to Turkey is subject to entry restrictions

    All arrivals into Turkey will be subject to a medical evaluation for symptoms of coronavirus, including temperature checks

    If you show symptoms on arrival, you’ll be required to undergo a PCR test coronavirus. So it's not completely open, I don't think any country is

    brazil, mexico, argentina, panama and costa rica are now open for tourists, no need

    for any document other than passport , no insurance, no test, no quarantine (brazil and mexico) just come and get 3 months visa (european passports).

    Where did you get your advise from Scott?

     

    Entry to Panama is open to Panamanian nationals, residents, tourists and business travelers with a negative COVID-19 PCR test certificate. The certificate must be obtained no more than 48 hours before you travel. If you cannot do this, a test can be taken at the airport on arrival at a cost of USD 50.00. If the test is positive, there is a mandatory requirement to quarantine for at least 7 days at a government facility.

    Argentina’s borders are closed to foreign nationals and non-residents entering the country. Some exceptions to this rule might apply. See Entry requirements

    I don't think you'd need chess knowledge to enjoy the story, I'm two episodes into it and find it very good.

    It's based on a novel by Walter Tevis who also wrote the books for The Hustler, The Color of Money and The Man Who Fell to Earth.

     

    Despite my comment on this a few days ago, about seeing the end first and how I hate that. I am enjoying this series very much
