  • I enjoyed The Diplomat (Keri Russell) very much. Among other reasons, it provides the satisfying (if inaccurate) impression, as with The West Wing, that everyone at the top levels of government engages in very clever and quick repartee. It's not as clever as TWW, but it's still very good. It moves quickly and leaves one yearning for Season Two, although it's not certain there will be one.

    • Concur. Just finished it last night and immediately searched if there was a season 2 in the works.

      • The Night Agent....I have two episodes to go, but I am enjoying it. Some good acting and some terrible acting though.

          I watched the whole thing. It was thoroughly preposterous, but highly entertaining.

          • Any Formula 1 fans here? The Formula One - Drive to Survive series is one of my all-time favorites on Netflix. Season 4 (covers 2021) was especially amazing.

              They do such a great job. The same guys do a Tour d France series and a tennis series called Break Point. All are excellent and leave you wanting to follow those sports closely.

                  So many great personalities/characters in F1. I really like most of the drivers and principals. At first I didn't like Gunther Steiner (Haas principal), but the poor guy catches so many bad breaks that I can't help but pull for him now.

                    Tour de France: Unchained

                    I haven't watched it yet, but I did watch the tennis docuseries, and it was fantastic.

                      Thank you. I barely had time to watch the 25 minute summaries of each stage this year. But once I get done with those I will try this out.

                      • Tour de France Unchained was very well done and was a nice prelude to this year's tour. Still very good. even now. I

                        n the middle of that we followed a recommendation and watched Tour de Pharmacy, a 2017 movie with a great cast that was hilarious at times, but over-the-top and a little raunchy. It reduced my considerable contempt for Lance Armstrong. If you haven't seen it, watch this clip...

                              I have always like him. Hope it is the same after watching.

                                You will love him by the end. Great family, too.
