The Queens Gambit
Sounds absolutely shit and I only agreed to watch it as I’d taken over the TV for the cricket the night before.
You know what ? It’s actually well made and pretty compelling about half way through so far.
The other half and I are already dusting off the chess set for some games.

One of my work colleagues works part time at Dymocks (bookstore chain) and she said they've been running out of stock of chess boards on a weekly basis.
I think in 12 months time there will be lots of dusty chess sets in peoples homes.

I’ll admit it crossed my mind, I already have a couple of sets though so at least no outlay

Same. A very valuable family heirloom actually.
Chess is a brilliant game, I guess it comes down to how many moves and countermoves you can remember.
There was an app I played on for awhile, level one was too easy, level two was too hard.....I guess I should try again.

@MN5 my highest achievement was beating my comp...on medium...once

I would imagine those games are programmed to expertly counter EVERY move us humans can try ?
I might download another app and try again. Mrs is watching some bachelor type shit so no way can I disturb her for a game haha.

Is that the Harlen Coben one?
Only thing that throws me with those is the 'mid-atlantic' approach where it isn't properly Brit but is also obviously not Yank.
Like that Sex Education show where the school setup is very American yet they are in the UK. -

The Undoing
Really got into this eh and thought it built it all up brilliantly. Not sure about the end result, thought they may have come up with something more clever but a bloody good watch I'd say.
I liked it.

The verdict was never really in doubt, but the wife taking the stand to cement his guilt was the highlight (if you can call it that)

Yeah...

That annoyed me a little as if she was going to throw him under the bus I don't know why she wouldn't have done it earlier and/or more obviously. But yeah I guess the verdict wasn't in doubt so she could do it her way.

That’s actually one of the storylines. They get sued by a porn producer.
Edit: if the prospect of titties ain’t enough, Keanu Reeves guest stars with a really funny twist. I won’t spoil.

A Confession - Martin Freeman as a Detective who gets his man for the murder of a local girl, only for him to offer up another body during the arrest, and causes complications with the fact that he didnt follow 'protocol' during the arrest.
Based on a true story, pretty good, highlights some of the shitty parts of the law, especially when you hear them talk about 'protecting the suspect'
