I would rate it 1-2-4-3 with two episodes to go. I worked in the service industry enough that I relate to a ton of it. It’s pretty spot on with how a great fine dining place is ran. Only thing missing is more drug use, employees relationships, and sexual harassment.

I finished the Bear over the weekend. I loved the ending, which is just a play in one setting where all of the trauma and emotions bottled up over the entire show came bursting out.

Any fans of The Queen's Gambit? I'm currently in episode 5 of 7. Enjoying it thus far.

I thought it was an amazing show. I really hoped for a second season.

Loved it back in the day.

Same show runner,  A Scott Frank has some other Netflix shows, Godless and recently, Dept Q, that are great as well.

I just finished another Netflix show, The Eternaut. Argentina based show where a mystery snow fall kills almost everyone and a small group has to find a way to survive. It goes from there, but I loved it as was a great take on end of the world type stuff.

Before that I got a 7 day free trial of MGM + and binged SAS Rogue Heroes. From Steven Knight, of Peaky Blinders. His take on the British SAS founding, Africa, and Italian campaigns. Loved it. 

I liked Queens Gambit but yeah it’s been a few years. 

I’m working through a few shows. Stick on AppleTV. Paradise on Hulu, heard a lot of great things about this. Almost done with Better Sister (Prime) and Squid Game. 

Once I knock out the last two I’ll start something else. Maybe The Bear but I’m not really that excited about it. 

I enjoyed Queens Gambit probably watched it 6 or so months ago

Watched Alice in Borderland - 2 seasons, was apparently a streaming hit and its back on Netflix because S3 is dropping at the end of September.

It's sort of like Squid Game, but it's kind of hard to follow many of the challenges or even guess at a strategy.  Toward the end of S1 it started to fill long on pointless games with little development of what was going on.  

Last few episodes of S2 sucked me back in, but I'd hesitate to recommend it with so much else on.

Anyone else watched The Pitt? This was one of the best seasons of a medical drama I have ever seen.

I think we had a decent amount of discussion on here during the season. But yeah, it was awesome.

I feel like it was mentioned before, but I hadn’t got around to watching Foundation. Wow what a really good sci fi show. Watched seasons 1 and two this week

Love Alice in Borderlands. I agree the 1st season dipped, then ended strong. The 2nd season was great with a hell of a ending. 

Looking forward to season 3.

I like it a more than Squid Game. Although, the latest season of Squid Game wasn't bad. 

This led Netflix to recommend another Korean show, Mercy for None. Your typical Kung fu punch fest crime thriller.
