I don't even like Chess, terrible at it, and Gambit isn't that good, really, but it's like a car crash with blood on the windshield; difficult to look away.

Space Force, silliness ensues, sometimes in the right amount. John Malkovich being John Malkovich.

Looking forward to Mank, Enola, and Umbrella.

Prime is now what drove me away from Netflix a few years ago. Like Cable TV, so much content, so little to watch.

Pretty dumb romance/fantasy about as historically accurate as "History of The World"...

Prime is mostly mediocre but at least I am not bombarded by unending social engineering from every NF release.

B. Scarpia	After Queen's Gambit, there's as little on Netflix as Prime but without the free shipping. Now I'm all for keeping certain flags out of the Capitol, but I was a little nonplussed when after a few minutes watching Bridgerton, it turned out to be, not a Bodice Ripper, but a "Dark" Comedy.

True story of Eli Cohen, first Israeli spy to infiltrate into Syria, late 50s-early-mid 60s time frame. Of those you mentioned, Mank, worthy, Umbrella, worthy. Don't know of this Enola. Might I also recommend Alias Grace? Nice period drama, 1850s, true story.

Loved Queen's Gambit.

B. Scarpia	Worthwhile period piece or just a 'bodice ripper'?

My wife liked it and I appreciated it a bit after three episodes, but there has to be 75 other and better series to watch first. "Once this was all Black Plasma and Imagination"-Michael McClure
