Re: Netflix human recommendations
We watched the first couple of episodes, it was very good.

Nicole Kidman on Graham Norton last night, said the third episode is really good (The Undoing).

Re: Netflix human recommendations
It’s on the streaming service I signed up to in order to watch The Vow, so I’ll add it to my list.

I’m trying to watch the Disappearance at Clifton Hill and the jazz music is doing my head in.

A second series of Emily in Paris is coming, I'm reliably informed (I've not seen it but I'm in the minority among my pals ).

They've put Dawson's Creek on Netflix. I'm watching the pilot. It's SO ludicrous but very nostalgic

Re: Netflix human recommendations
Ah, I meant to ask, do you need to have a vague understanding of chess for that? I don't even know what all the pieces are called.
My lack of knowledge of poker meant that I was lost during all the tense scenes in Casino Royale too.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
Do you need to know about/not hate* chess to enjoy the Queen's Gambit? Do you need even a basic level of knowledge?
*I don't actually hate it, I have just never played the boys played it a lot (reluctantly) during lockdown so it has horrible connotations for me!

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I watched a distressing film on Netflix last night - Shepherds and Butchers starring Steve Coogan. It made a good point about the death penalty being brutalising, but was so horrible to watch. I don't recommend it.
Can anyone recommend a good courtroom drama, please? Series or film.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
Oh, I missed a page. I enjoyed the Queen's Gambit, and I don't play chess. It's not necessary to understand it at all, although it might add a dimension if you can follow the moves during the matches.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
You don't need to know anything about chess to enjoy The Queen's Gambit. I'd say the first episode or two might make you think you do, so stick with it as it improves after that. I love it.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
It’s really good and also enabled me to buy the glossy green chess set I’d been coveting!
I only have two episodes left.
I can’t take the Love Actually cowboy chess player seriously though

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I know nothing about chess (I do remember the felt stuff on the bottom of the chess pieces, and that the knight felt nice to chew ) and I am loving it (only watched two episodes so far) and like Beatrix it makes me want to play. Though I haven't yet found an app that is suitable for someone as backwards as me.

George plays on an app on the iPad. I can check which one when I get home.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
It is! Well worth watching if you haven't seen it. I was a bit put off by the title, for some reason, but I really enjoyed it.sally maclennane wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 1:07 pm The Trial of the Chicago Seven is meant to be good.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I think F played chess with my dad over an app during lockdown, I’ll see if I can find it!
Thanks for the tips, chaps. I’ll make sure not to give up - not a chance I’ll be able to follow the moves. Hopefully he won’t make me angry the way poker playing in films does!
Trial of Chicago Seven was ace, especially if you like Aaron Sorkin. SBC is brilliant.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
Oh thank you both! I think a child-friendly app would be ideal, I can't even remember the very basics.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
George's chess app is from chess.com. I asked him to check and he instantly started playing. He's explaining it to Liv now
