I'm watching it already for the 2nd time. So good.

i’ve been watching THE ROOK on starz. it’s cool!



not supergreat or anything but stylish. also has olivia munn in it :D

and i like the retro theme in the opening credits. bit of an 80s flavor

^Not quite as good as the Porn

is there a porno version of it i missed? :o

It was a pun on chess pieces, y'nar...the pawn :rolleyes: :D

oh lol just had massive “whooosh” moment :( :D

The Rook's got nothing on The Queen's Gambit. Also "Awaken the Power Within" has become such a generic saying for sci-fi/fantasy shows.

yeah i expected more from the first episode but superpowers are meh. i still i like the style of it. idk why.

don’t have netfucks for the time so queen’s gambit will have to wait.

Queen’s Gambit was unexpectedly great.

Nurse Jackie is really depressing holy shit

don’t worry, you’ll be glad to be rid of her in the end :D

Slowly but surely sort of chipping away at:


Parker Lewis Can't Lose Season 1
Night Court Season 2
Northern Exposure Season 3

Wow, yeah, you weren’t kidding.

I was so sick of her shit, and I basically predicted the ending.

at the beginning, i was like “wow, she’s a hero”
then i was, “oh, that’s how she does it”
then i was “this poor bitch is sick!”
and at the end i was like “fuuuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuuuu”

btw check out homeland when you can. great seasons all around.

Miracle Workers Season 1 because I'll be damned if I don't love offbeat, weird Daniel Radcliffe roles.

Finally watching the Crown and holy crap is it absorbing, my god.

Our daily rags here have been demanding that netflix put a disclaimer before each episodes of the new series making sure people realise that they've taken liberties with the story. Imagine getting so upset because they've changed parts of the story for dramatic reasons.

Wonder if the Scots demanded they did that before Braveheart.

absorbing/boring/snoring

I saw a disclaimer before the first big Diana-centric episode (I’ve been sick, so I’ve been going through the seasons really quickly, since the week before Thanksgiving) but it was about depictions of eating disorders.

That’s the only disclaimer I’ve seen.
But I’m curious ... Are we talking dramatic creative license for effect or historical inaccuracy? Are there disclaimers before every episode saying, “Trigger warning: Some of this dialogue might have been written by writers!” or some such thing?

I guess my answer depends on the extent to which the show deviates from the actual events.

But, like, we here in the US could easily get our balls in a twist if someone incorrectly depicted JFK or Roosevelt or … uh… Kurt Cobain, I guess. So it’s not really that surprising, to be honest, but I’m curious now.

No, it’s a good show by any measure.

it was the last shows, where the Queen talks to the Prime Minister that brits have had issues with. I guess they assumed this was a documentary? ha ha. such idiots.

The Crown was good to watch, for the most part, but it is still all about the "troubles" of uber rich white blue blood wastes of life.
