Currently watching..... on the TV

Finishing up season 11 with X-Files

oh well... i think all the episodes not written/directed by chris carter are OK or great. but the episodes he's responsible for... :offended:

[Whiskey 7]

I added The Queen's Gambit to my watch list today.
Seems it is just 7 episodes.

[Ferrao10]

"Barbarians" on Netfilx.

German show about early germanic tribes fighting the Romans invading their soil.

Honestly, just stay away.
Production design is OK, camera-work is OK, directing is OK imo but script, acting, historic accuracy are all pretty bad to outright terrible.

4/10

Mandalorian S2 episode one.

[spoiler]So they finally revealed the timeline for this series. It’s sometime shortly after the destruction of the second Death Star. So it’s not baby Yoda...[/spoiler]

Started watching The Queen's Gambit on Netflix, and it's really good.
It's the fictional tale of a girl-genius chess player in the Sixties. It doesn't sound exactly thrilling when you read that, but it's more about the personalities and lifestyle surrounding chess in that time period.
It's not a true story, but it's incredibly well researched, and is heavily influenced by the likes of Bobby Fischer and his rock star approach to chess.
And as it's the Sixties, there's also a cold war undercurrent.

Started this today - very interesting first episode

Guilty pleasure show: X-Men Cartoon (1990s).

I was dicking around on Disney+ when I found this gem. I use to watch it as a kid and so I fired it up. It actually has a pretty deep storyline for a cartoon. I mean, they killed off one of the characters during the first episode. Not exactly what you see as a kids show today...

No guilt needed - fucking excellent cartoon

[Eraser]

Was just gonna say. That cartoon was epic. Just like the Batman animated series.

[MKJ]

Yes. And yes.

Batman animated series.

Easily one of the best animated shows produced outside of japan.

Best Joker to ever Joker.

Yes. I was happy to see him also do the voice in Arkham Asylum.

Just finished a 4 part documentary on the Sydney Metro, tunnel boring mainly. Not sure if you people will view but it is very good if you get a chance.

Anybody watching a 4 episode British TV show called Roadkill?
Hugh Laurie is doing a standout role and I am just 2 into the 4 episodes.

This is on my list.

I started The Crown series 4 before finishing The Queens Gambit, which is naughty of me.

[Whiskey 7]

The Queens Gambit, mention keeps coming to mind for some reason so I better look into it. Ah yes that chess player one and only 7 episodes.

I better finish 'Raised by Wolves' first and my initial take is that it is a bit slow so I hope it picks up soon.

[Whiskey 7]

Well, 'Raised by Wolves' did pick up and I finished season 1. I will suggest, if you're into sci-fi, yes it is not too bad at all.

The Queen's Gambit

Interesting?
I went looking for The Queen's Gambit to find an episode of the same name Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (season 1 episode 5)

[Κracus]

It's the name of a chess opening, no doubt it's been used before.

Really
I have been a chess player near as long as I've been on the planet. My Dad taught me the basics and I play when I get the chance, now usually online, thoroughly enjoy the game :p
