Been revisiting The Queen's Gambit for the first time since the confines of the pandemic. It really is a stunning piece of work

3 Body Problem dropped today, 8 episodes. I've watched the first two and am hooked. So far an engrossing and excellent sci-fi series.
Will look to finish the series over the weekend.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through episode 1 and I love it. I've avoided reading the books as I like to experience the different version in isolation.
Really optimistic for the adaptation of the 3 books series

Just finished a little binge watch of ' Griselda' starring Sofía Vergara as the true life Columbian drug 'godmother' Griselda Blanco. If you can ignore her strange prosthetic make up it's brutal but excellent.

I managed to overlook the odd prosthetic by focusing on the boobies that made a regular appearance

Gave up after 2 episodes. Seemed like all the Guy Ritchie stereotypes rolled into one with the obligatory cameo by Vinnie Jones

Thieving Irish travellers, Scouse crims, cockney geezers and gangsters, Eastern European muscle, the ‘token’ black enforcer who has almost no dialogue, the mixed race chilled stoner who cultivates the weed, the machete wielding female Asian boss, it couldn’t be more loaded with lazy, outdated stereotypes if GR had tried

Finished 3 Body Problem. I assume there is more to come but if there is I am not sure that I would hurry to watch it. Was well made, apart from the unnecessary swearing, but ultimately unsatisfactory.
Don't bother watching the Signal, that really is shite.
The 2 best things on Netflix remain Queen's Gambit and the Trial of the Chicago Seven.

Just watched the dark movie Prisoners (2013) with Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman. Excellent.

Did you finish it? I thought it was really disappointing.

Nyad is decent with very good performances from Annette Bening and Jodie Foster. True story about a swimmer's quest to swim from Cuba to Florida.

Finished it, but lets just say it didn't live up to its initial promise

I find it very watchable, tho fairly corny. Reminds me of 'Ghosts' in places, and not in a good way. The swearing was what struck me also, it seems to be just chucked in for no good reason. Can only assume it's in the book and the makers have just slavishly pasted it into the script

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded

I thought 3 Body Problem was great. Really interesting sci fi, with a lot of ideas to unpick. Sadly I'd be amazed if there's another series of it. It seems a strange choice to make a sci fi, epic series with a a big story with Netflix.

You missed one off of your Guy Ritchie Bingo card....crime boss in clink but still pulling the strings as he runs the prison.Thieving Irish travellers, Scouse crims, cockney geezers and gangsters, Eastern European muscle, the ‘token’ black enforcer who has almost no dialogue, the mixed race chilled stoner who cultivates the weed, the machete wielding female Asian boss, it couldn’t be more loaded with lazy, outdated stereotypes if GR had tried
Also gave up after two episodes. May give it another go if there is nothing else watchable.
