The Queen’s Gambit, surprisingly good.
Coworker got me to try this earlier this year but couldn’t get past ep 4. It was like watching a group of morons trying a robbery. If I recall correctly, they trained for years over every minute detail and then proceeded to go off script an hour into it cuz of feelings. The exact thing I told her was I read NASA astronauts had to watch Armageddon and point out all the inaccuracies and anyone person with two brain cells could’ve done the same watching two episodes of this show. |

No kidding.....I can put up with most of the artistic licence that movies and tv use. Some for expediency of getting the story told in a 1 hour episode, (cop shows are a prime example of this), others just to make the story work. All one has to do is watch any Fast and Furious movie to see this in spades.....not a damn thing is plausible but they can be entertaining. So let's just suspend our disbelief and enjoy.

I love season one, but season two was kind of weak. Especially the last two or three episodes. But I am sad to see it go.

Finished watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. Despite the good reviews here, I didnt think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. Definitely recommended!
Currently watching Barbarians on Netflix. I'm a few episodes in and am liking it so far.

Germanic tribes vs the Roman empire. The show is loosely (I assume) based on the Battle of Teutoburg Forest. At least a couple of the character names are historically accurate.

That show had the greatest G-rated trash-talking ever, in the scenes with Fred and Aunt Esther, with Grady chiming on the side for good measure. Priceless.

Seriously, my fav scaling shot was The Avenger scene in the The Empire Strikes Back. We are all a little too jaded now. When I go to the movies, I go with the wonder of the 10 year old me, not jaded me or I'd ruin the experience and only read the books. With the exception of the worst movie ever made: Shark Boy and Lava Girl. I flipped coins with my now ex-wife on this one and I lost. I still have flashbacks on this one. Worst. Movie. Ever. Made.
