    Back in 1971, I spent 6 months going all over Europe. I had been there before, but not for that length of time, and not literally all over the place. Anyway, I kept meeting Australians and they were invariably friendly, funny, and just a trip to hang out with. There were a couple of guys I kept running into. They weren’t traveling together, but we would end up in the same place for a couple of days, have a great time drinking too much, and then go our separate ways.

    Almost all of them were either eventually going to work for several months in the UK, or had just finished doing that and were traveling around having fun before returning home. None of them intended to be gone from Australia for less than a year. I also met an Australian girl I got to know very well. She had just finished working in London for about year and we hooked up until she flew back. I met her in Amsterdam and still remember seeing her off at Schiphol, the big airport outside of the city.

    Rake is a crazy Aussie TV series about an attorney who’s strung out on various drugs and drinks too much. The irony is that he’s a really good attorney when he can hold himself together. We enjoyed it.

    She had red hair, freckles and was really good looking. Passionate, with a great sense of humor. It’s a good combination. She hated to leave, and I hated to see her go. That was a great trip.

    So I'm watching Perry Mason and The Alienist now...which is kinda ****ed up because both have plots that revolve around dead babies.

    They're both good, but maybe not exactly what I needed to watch right now.

    Nurse Jackie- Really great watch. Don't know how I slept on this show considering it was from "Showtime". It could be due to the lead actress', Edie Falco. Never was a fan of hers in the Sopranos. The episodes are 30 minutes and they fly by. Dark high brow humor about an oxy addicted nurse with a heart of gold even though she tends to do highly questionable things. I read that in 2009, the Nursing Association attempted to 'cancel' the show as she portrayed them in a negative light. I think it's the opposite.

    Man, Queen's Gambit on Netflix is really great.

    The visuals of the period, character development and story have been excellent.

    Yes one of her classics. Interesting take on a revenge tale.

    Blood of Zeus - 8 episodes (30 min each). It'll go by quick. An animated show. Bit of a fresh take on the Greek mythos. Actions scenes are well done. It's hand animated which you don't see much anymore (not even from Disney).

    Re-watching Dollhouse. Can't decide if this would work better in 2020 or if it would be DOA.

    Just watched the last episode last night. Amazed by how good this limited series was. The acting, writing, *film-making" was perhaps the best I have seen so far this year. I hope this isn't a spoiler, but the actors that played Beth, Harry, Benny and her birth mom were all British. And the woman that played her adopted mom was more famous for being a director (the movie about Fred Rogers).

    Yeah, I was suprised how good it was. You can tell it was not just an entertaining story, but they really took time to craft a good film when you look visual details and acting. I liked watching her experience her gift; and battling to overcome her past and grow as a character was great.

    I haven't seen someone make chess (which I enjoy also) look this entertaining since the movie Fresh years ago. (very different but also an excellent chess movie)

    Those chess matches are based on real ones with improvements made to them. Harmon is based on a mix of different famous chess players as well.
