Netflix - What gems have you found? (NO SPOILERS) (Vol. 2)
Discussion
Skywalkers: A Love Story. A documentary about a couple of extreme climbers who illegally scale skyscrapers. It’s part climbing documentary and part love story (as the title suggests) but it’s really interesting to see their relationship developing and how their attitudes to taking risks change.

hole was twitching like a rabbit’s nose most of the way through but it’s well worth a watch.

Do you need to have watched the previous series to follow this one?
I have and still only have a partial idea. I don't really know if that's helpful or not though. I'd highly recommend you watch Vikings anyway as for the most part it's truly excellent (it's on Prime). The later seasons are a bit up and down in terms of quality but overall I still really enjoyed all of it. It's fantastic.
If looking on Netflix, The Last Kingdom is also really good and I found that to be much closer to the original Vikings show than Valhalla. Set about 100 years after Vikings so there's a little overlap in events as well which is interesting.

Has anyone watched Ripley? I watched Ep 1 last night but gave up half way through Ep 2. Is it worth persevering?
It's beautifully directed and shot. The cinematography is really compelling. I think the series is better than the Matt Damon / Jude Law film. It feels a little slow from time to time, but IMO it's well worth sticking with.There are lots of stairs.

Ripley is one of the best things i have seen in ages. It's amazingly well filmed, I loved the way the plot thickens and develops over time. I also loved listening to the Italian in there - particularly as I have loosely been learning for a while.
I watched it twice as my GF wanted to watch it too
Just started season 2 of Legion. Was a bit of a mindfk at first, but I'm well into it now. Enjoyable if you can get through the first 3 episodes of season 1.
On the other hand, Kingstown was a bit meh. Season 1 was good, but it went tits up after that. I had to stop watching near the end of season 2 as it was so badly written.

Wrong thread I think, those are Disney+ shows (you're quite right about Legion though, amazing show). k at first, but I'm well into it now.
