Just finished “Mindhunters”on Netflix
I had forgotten they never convicted Wayne Williams for all those murdered children in Atlanta.
This is a series that needs to be continued.
The study of mass murderers and serial killers by doing live interviews was absolutely spell-binding.

As an aside, I’ve learned that changing the name of an airport or whatever is so trivial and far from the important things in my daily life. I find it comical that some folks are absorbed in this stuff. I’m talking about the ones who pushed for the change.
I hope they are all happy with their enormous success.

I just finished watching this and I definitely agree. Got my wife and I back into playing chess.

I get good ideas out of these threads (Longmire, The Amazing Mrs. Maisel, Schitt$ Creek, Bosch, etc.)

I just watched "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix last night. Holy Moly. When the officers of social media companies will not allow their own children to use the product that they created, alarm bells should go off.

I suspected that this stuff was happening somehow, but these guys lay right out there for the public to consider. Worth 90 minutes of your time.

Raced through the Queen's Gambit as well. It was superb.

I watched this and really liked it as well. Very eye-opening.

Kind-of related , I highly recommend a book I just bought,
“Permanent Record” by Edward Snowden

I'm watching Enterprise on Netflix. After I done with it I'll go back and finish watching Voyager. Maybe by that time there will be new episodes of some of the Netflix original shows that I was watching.

Looks like a winner.

I read all the reviews here and jumped on it last night and watched two episodes. Outstanding.

Enterprise and Voyager are fantastic, as was TNG. Did you watch Enterprise when it was on tv? Or is this all new?

Enterprise is new to me. I was never a fan of Scott Bakula, but in this show he fits the part.

Just started re-watching the original 2007 Danish series 'The Killing'.
3 seasons with a total of 40 episodes.

My wife and I don't mind reading sub-titles.

Bakula did a great job in Enterprise. I was disappointed when he was hired for the role but that quickly changed.

The Killing - what a great show. I saw the American version where the show is based in Seattle. Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman were fantastic. I've never seen the original Danish version ... don't think I could watch it with sub-titles.

Have you seen the American version?

I watched it, fantastic. Disturbing and deeply dark, but incredibly well written and acted. Highly recommended.

No, don't think it's been on here.

Another incredible Danish/Swedish series was 'The Bridge' which the Brits re-did as 'The Tunnel' and then US/Mexico did as 'The Bridge' and Germany/Austria did as 'Der Pass' and Estonia/Russia did as 'The Bridge' and finally Malaysia/Singapore also did as 'The Bridge'.

I have seen the UK, US and German versions.

I was initially disappointed with the UK first season - it simply moved the same plot from the incredible Danish/Swedish 'Oresund Bridge' to the UK/France channel tunnel - but the subsequent series were UK written and well done too.
