Having never played or watched a game of chess in my life, I was initially uninterested in the series:

The Queen's Gambit (TV Mini Series 2020) - IMDb 8.5/10.

However, after four years I finally got around to binge-watching the entire series and I have to say it's a worthwhile must-watch for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

I also passed on TQG but now I'll gave a look at it. Thanks @LosLobo

Just finished The Count of Monte-Christo, a French remake of the famous Dumas novel. It's quite well done, great acting all around, particularly by the actor playing Edmond Dante. At almost 3 hours, it's quite long but never gets boring. I got it at TGX and it was a fairly fast download.

What a great book!

Watched it when it first came out, very good! You don't have to be in to chess to enjoy it.

Matlock is worth a watch with Kathy Bates (Misery) as the lead.

 

The latest series (5) of All Creatures Great and Small is it's usual warming tales of vets in Yorkshire around WW2.

 

"The BBC has released a new seven-part natural history series, “Asia,” narrated by the legendary Sir David Attenborough. This groundbreaking series explores the incredible diversity of wildlife and landscapes across Asia, the world’s largest and most populous continent." - Brilliant as always.

I watched the 1st episode of 'The Agency' last night.  Despite a stellar cast (Fassbender/Gere) it was unbelievably dull.

I am enjoying it. 

I prefer a slow burn—latency can be a virtue in film, as in life, especially when it builds to a satisfying climax.

We all loved Band of Brothers but here is an interesting take take on the worst war movies:

Check out the original, The Bureau. French with subtitles, worth watching, I think it is better than the agency. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4063800/

I am a bit of a Beatles buff, I would say 2/3rds of this has been on YouTube in some form over the years, like the clips from concerts ,nothing really new except the interviews with other artists like Smokey Robinson.

 

Nice to see it all as a complete story

It did bring back a lot of memories though. Beatlemania is something that's never going to be duplicated.

Episode 2 is very far from dull.

It was incredibly good; there's a lot being developed....
