I recently finished a second watch of it, a rewatch. It’s the best limited series I’ve seen in several years.Originally Posted by rosarugosa
but it had great original source material, the novel by Walter Tevis. I bought the novel back when it was first published in the early 1980’s and I didn’t buy many novels at all. I kept it for many decades and it was a first edition, first printing. I sold it a couple of years ago for a little profit on eBay when the Queen’s Gambit TV production came on.

Haven't got the time I wanted to watch movies. Sound of Freedom with Jim Caviezel. It's a powerfull picture, about the human traffic of young children.
Oh, yeah. I binge-watched that one. Became a fan of Anya Taylor-Joy.

6888 on Netflix about an all female army unit in WWII. True story and stay for the credits. Simple story but got the point across.

Look for Oprah Winfrey in a small bit part.

I got hooked on Landman. Although the characters are over the top stereotypes, there is a lot of nostalgic familiarity after having lived in TX for so many years. Oilmen, cattle ranchers, old money, new money. I don't like the way they portray women but hold my nose on those parts and watch the story unfold. As they ad campaign says, Texas - It's a Whole Other World.
Anya Taylor-Joy was in a film earlier in her career The Witch about a seeming New England haunting in the year 1630. It was beautiful, eerie, evocative, and scary.
