TV Series - What Are You Watching?

Was looking for some easy viewing last night, started "Emily in Paris" on Netflix. Can't say it was great despite a 7.2 rating on IMDB, certainly very predictable, young American moves to France, can't speak the lingo but charms most to become the best marketing exec ever. Still not sure I like the main character, she's a bit too twee, but, I quite like the politically incorrect French colleague and he made me chuckle a few times. Mrs wedge gave up after the first episode, not sure how but I somehow ended up sitting through 5.....

Two excellent new shows on Netflix

The Queen's Gambit. Never really thought a show about chess would be quite as riveting as this.... well, not really about chess, although it is, but 3 episodes in it is quite gripping.

Barbarians. For all that like "Last Kingdom", this is a similar premise but set in Germany. Two episodes in and totally hooked. It's a Dutch show, but the characters speak in their native tongues, German, Italian/ Latin etc. Best with subs on.

Like many of its ilk it gets better with each series. We are halfway through series 5 now and it is getting stronger. Some lovely characters in it.

Can someone time it for me please?
I think it is based between the prequel 3 movies and the original ones? That would make baby Yoda not the actual baby Yoda but just a baby of the same species?

Just finished watching Truthseekers on Prime, I enjoyed it and hopefully there will be a 2nd series.

Finished Power last night, but if a slog towards the end and not sure I'll bother with Power book 2.
Think Narcos mexico next season is out soon so will have a trawl for something in the meantime tonight.

How disappointing an ending though? I feel the same about S2 which is a shame.

I had to check the episode guide to see if there was one missing ?
