For those who have Netflix.

[2greys]

I can highly recommend this mini series. Seven one hour episodes.

Based on the novel by Walter Tevis, the Netflix limited series drama The Queen's Gambit is a coming-of-age story that explores the true cost of genius. Abandoned and entrusted to a Kentucky orphanage in the late 1950s, a young Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) discovers an astonishing talent for chess while developing an addiction to tranquilizers provided by the state as a sedative for the children. Haunted by her personal demons and fueled by a cocktail of narcotics and obsession, Beth transforms into an impressively skilled and glamorous outcast while determined to conquer the traditional boundaries established in the male-dominated world of competitive chess.

Always looking for Netflix tips so thanks.

I can recommend The Trial of the Chicago 7. True story.

[2greys in reply to deni-123red_]

I may not have been there in Chicago. I was in Grosvenor Square, March of 1968 though, when Vanessa Redgrave delivered a letter of protest to the American embassy. Proud to have been part of it then and now. There were thousands there and it did get ugly!

Good for you! I was only seventeen and it was too far from here. I made it to Hyde Park the following year for The Stones and one of our number ended up in 144 Piccadilly, a protest squat. No idea how that happened. I did go on the anti-war march in Glasgow. It seems a lifetime ago....haha it is.

[2greys in reply to teenieleek]

I was only 18 then. As you rightly say a lifetime ago, a lot of pooh sticks have gone under the bridge since then.
