Let's talk movies & streaming shows

[hoohoohoo]

Department Q is great and set in Edinburgh... It's based on the Danish series

Was on my list to watch, don’t think I’ll bother now…

Think I’ll go watch the first series of Karen Pirie based on the Val McDermid books - got half a dozen of the books on my kindle that I haven’t started yet…

Yeah, watched that, it was good.

A Man in Full I - Netflix - based on a novel by Tom Wolfe.

Think I started that and gave up as I didn’t like any of the characters…

Netflix: The Queen’s Gambit

Yes - they are vile. I think that's the point! Remember, Wolfe also wrote Bonfire of the Vanities

Hostage - Netlix. Another incredibly stupid scenario dressed up as a drama. So 'politically correct" it ends up incorrect with just about every stereotype being overacted badly.
Why MSF gave its blessing to this tripe is a mystery to me.

Netflix: The Queen’s Gambit

It is one of my favourite dramas on Netflix
I also like the film 'Searching for Bobby Fischer'.

We were also very impressed, a true masterpiece

It was entirely missable. What/who’s MSF?

Netflix: The Queen’s Gambit

Think there’s a second season on the way

Ok, with you now. Was surprised they were explicitly mentioned.

I don't suppose they were consulted. Do you think the Royal Family gave their blessing for The Crown?

I read that there won't be a 2nd season because the story is over.... Sad, but it's true, the story has already been told.

Also on Netflix and captivating: Young Wallander

...and: Be sure to check out “Mindhunter” on Netflix. Very interesting and really well acted.

Yeah, when I heard that I thought it was unusual, but iirc it was the star who supposedly suggested that. Maybe just hopeful of return fees
