Do you have any other underrated hidden gems to recommend that the board may not have heard of?

If you are into history, Golda, was pretty good. About the Yom Kippur war. Helen Mirren as Meir (great makeup job) and Liev Schreiber as Henry Kissinger…

I’m thinking of test driving it once I’ve finished Foundation.

Foundation is mind blowing.

 

[ShadowFrog]

Is the book(s?) good?

I don’t know, but as I recall, I think it is one of those 800+ pages books.

Foundation is mind blowing.

S2 is strong as hell

a couple series that are great watches, hbo's "the gilded age" which is about new money in nyc at the turn of the century, the vanderbilts, rockefellers, carnegies, etc. https://www.hbo.com/the-gilded-age

and as someone who is a lover of ken follett's masterpiece trilogies, catholic, and son of a stonemason, if you can't read at least do yourself a favor and watch "pillars of the earth":

Pillars of the Earth features a younger and delicious Hayley Atwell. It's worth watching for her alone.

isn't that the truth. but beyond her bodaciousness, it's just an excellent look into england at the time all those great catholic, now anglican, cathedrals came to be, how, and why. brilliant series. beautifully portrayed, even though the book is better. one's imagination always paints a better picture through words than any film can present albeit haley may challenge that reality.

Just watched Righteous Gemstones episode one. Who has seen the series and what are your thoughts? It’s got three great comedic actors so I am suspecting it will be pretty good.

Really good but gets progressively dumb in the following seasons. Latest season was pretty good once you get to the third episode.

Really they just need to do a full series on Uncle Baby Billy…he saves the show after the first season.

One of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen. Righteous is right! There’s some funny as [ Finebaum ] episodes. Very creative take on mega-churches. Congo’s right, Baby Billy was a great character.

this, they could have done so much more with it, but got lazy and went after low hanging fruit with the comedy

danny mcbride to me has become a bit overplayed to be a feature player

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre…….what a scheissing snooze fest. Do yourself a favor and avoid.

One of Guy Ritchie’s worst and most boring movies.

Started watching Chernobyl on MAX. Pretty tough watch due to the realism of the story. Almost done with it. Pretty educational and a very well done show. Hard to watch overall though. Not good for bedtime relaxation watching.

Debuting tonight on Netflix is a documentary on UFOs by Spielberg called Encounters. First episode was about Dublin/Stephenville mass sightings in 2008. Interesting…
