    Actually @flashback - are you some sort of expert chess player? Could I send you a screenshot of the game so you can tell me what to do? It's my move next ....

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    I'm in the middle of a very tense game with my father-in-law which is due to resume at 8pm tonight. Hoping to (virtually) knock his kind to kingdom-come after which I will triumphantly rampage around my living room whooping. That's the done thing right?

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    I really didn't enjoyed and really expected to (actually took out a sub to TV so I could watch it). I found it confusing and annoying and found the frenetic pace really off-putting. I was actually looking forward to it ending. And the Afro-futurist episode was the one I enjoyed the most! Maybe...

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    Just finished The Watchmen. Late to the party with this I know. It was really excellent. I had no knowledge of the Alan Moore source material coming in (Dr Manhattan? Who?) and was somewhat confused about what was going on. But it was brilliantly structured in that it fed you just enough at just...

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    I'm very much on the side of awful but still watching. The last episode was a lot better in that it toned down the hysterical pace of it all but in general while watching it (a) I have little idea wtf is going on and (b) I don't really care.

    Enjoyed the first episode of Lovecraft Country but the second one ... good Jaysus .... was it really as bad as that?

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    Caught most of this. It's fantastic. Afterwards I found myself thinking ... "say what you like about Trump, he hasn't yet started an unnecessary war that resulted in over half a million deaths and the destruction of an entire country". This should probably be in the Unpopular Opinions thread.

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    I've watched all of it now (and there's a lot) and I really liked it. Takes a while to get going but the characters become really endearing after a while. I've completely forgotten about the "buying the town" part ....

    Call My Agent. French thing on Netflix about an acting agency in Paris. It's fun and actual real actors and actresses pop up playing themselves.

    Well they did have jousting.

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    My knowledge of English history is that period is dismal. Which is brilliant for reading the books. I know Anne Boleyn is ousted but I can't remember if she gets divorced or beheaded or what. Or what happened to Katherine etc.

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    Watched Unorthodox in one sitting last Friday. Very good. 4 episode series is a great format. One Ep3 of Wolf Hall. Excellent. Was dubious about how they could translate such a vast book to the screen but it works really well. Not sure how easy it would be to follow or appreciate if you had not...

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    Same. I was a bit on the fence about it for the first series but now really enjoying it. The main characters present themselves initially as the biggest bunch of assholes you could possibly imagine but they gradually become really endearing.

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    First episode of Freud on Netflix. Might be a "so bad it's great fun altogether kind of thing" but don't think I'll bother with episode 2.

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    Queen Sono on Netflix. "Killing Eve" style spy thing not just set in Africa (mostly SA but also other places) but produced/shot in South Africa too. I really wanted this to be good. It isn't.

    Yeah, I think that's the start of Season 2 as far as I remember ....

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    Fleabag - missed out on this when it was on the real telly but got a present of the DVDs at Xmas and am now just finished season 1. It's really good but I don't think it's the greatest television drama of all time as some people seem to think.

    What television series are you currently making your way through?

    Watched first episode of the Dracula thing. It was ok but I thought it went way too fast from "this dude is a bit weird" to "oh look he's a blood sucking vampire". And I really could have done without it going full Tarantino at the end as well. I liked the Van Helsing nun though.
