Rewatched: The Queen’s Gambit 📺
What a show! I had a hankering to watch this again after a few years, and so glad that I did. Marathoned it over two days. It’s a masterclass in growing empathy for nearly every character, and showing dull things dramatically. And a triumph in set and costume design.

Watched: Pluribus S1E1, We Is Us 📺
My wife and I watched the first two episodes yesterday and were hooked. We had to pause multiple times to debate the implications and moral quandaries of what was happening onscreen. The mark of a good show! (And Severance-esque 👍)
