Senna Netflix series

Anyone else watched this yet?

Just halfway through the first episode and I don’t think I’ll make it through. I’ve never seen Norfolk with so many hills/mountains. Terrible fast and furious gearshift sound effects.

Does it get better?

Watched the first episode last night, I will force myself to watch the remainder.

I wasn’t expecting much , but, fking hell, it’s bad!

Glad it’s not just me then.

The portrayal of the Formula Ford season…seemingly all rounds were at the same circuit that had about 4 garages and a tent for the pits…and looked like it was half way up an arid mountain, was laughable.

Just finished the first episode, going out for lunch now. Might try episode 2 this evening after a few glasses…it might make it better!

I’d suggest a full blown pub crawl might be required to improve it!

Gets better once we get into the F1 era.

If you watch the "Making Of" doco you'll see a lot of thought and attention to detail went into it. Not the mountainous Snetterton of course.

lol, it wouldn't have taken much to CGI them out surely!

Just finished watching quali, thought I’d look at episode 2.




C’mon, this is ridiculous!

Oh dear lord!

I did have a look but couldn’t find a thread running, thank you sir.

Keep with it, it gets much better

Ah, this is something totally different.

I was rather hoping that Netflix had licensed Manish Pandey’s wonderful film from a few years ago.

After about 20 minutes of the first episode I was thinking "oh dear", but now I am 20 minutes into the second episode I am really enjoying.

You just need to switch off your F1 Nerd brain and just accept it is purely entertainment.

That's on Netflix as well.
