I just watched the first episode of The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. Brilliant stuff! Really engrossing from start to finish.

Literally just clicked to dl it five minutes ago.

Aye very good mini series.

Yup, first ep was great there alright.

Yep, we watched all the episodes over two nights. Great mini series....

Just finished Your Honor with Bryan Cranston. Got to the end somehow but good lord it's bad! Poor characters, poor script, plot holes everywhere, storylines built up to go nowhere and generally a completely unbelievable storyline. The ending is absolutely fucking woeful. Sadly having a great cast isn't enough to save it. Muck.

I'm about halfway through, the first two were OK. I was watching it week by week but I stopped a few weeks back. I'll probably finish it cos the missus wants to watch it but can't say it has been great so far.

I notice that Sky are dumping it onto their online service in one go - the death knell of any show.

S2 of The Mandalorian. All kinds of excellent.

Really enjoyed Night Stalker. Watched the first ep of that Cecil Hotel yoke. Thought it was pretty poor.

Finished it out. Could easily have been covered in 2eps. And if I never hear the term "web sleuth" again, it'll be too soon. Fuckin idiots.

I haven't watched many Netflix doc series lately but watched all this. It reminded me of how podcasts have gone lately. They don't really have a story but they create this illusion that they do with how they produce it all. It was interesting how blatant they were about it though.

It must be one of the poorest documentaries I've ever seen.

I'm on the third episode of it now, unless there's a big info dump in ep. 4, they could have covered it in one. It's shite, about as interesting as an episode of American Pickers. And the 'web sleuths'? Fuck off, jesus. What an entitled bunch of cunts.

A couple of unexpectedly funny shows: Schitt's Creek, which I thought would be annoying but isn't and Pen15, which on paper sounds ridiculous, and is, in its own way. Like Curb Your Enthusiasm, not for everyone but after an ep or 2 of each, you'd know whether either are your bag.

Clarice: Extremely loosely based around Silence of The Lambs. Basically Clarice Starling solving cases for the FBI shortly after events of the movie. Very much standard police-procedural lark. Made me realise I could do with a re-watch of Hannibal.

Doom Patrol: Sat down with my 11 year old to watch a DC show. Had to turn it off when Brendan Fraser was banging some wan from behind. Turns out it's not Arrow or The Flash. Who knew?!

I hit series record on The Terror. Anyone watch it?
