Just watched "Winter on Fire" from Netflix.

Documentary about the Ukraine 2014 Maidan revolution. Very moving. Helps explain the ferocity of the Ukrainians in defending themselves.

I watched a Beeb doc a while back about Afghanistan and its history of being invaded by colonial powers.  The interviewer asked an Afghani why they were so ferocious in defending themselves.  That is just so patronising - I've seen no docs where someone has questioned why Britain fought off Germany in 1940 or indeed how the US responded to the attack on Pearl Harbour.

"Winter on Fire" is not patronizing. If anything it is inspiring.

I caught the first episode of, "Vikings Valhalla" on Netflix tonight. Not great but not bad either. I'll definitely  stick around for more Hot Viking Babes with swords and Battle Axes. Anybody else watching?

[Gusington]

I will be soon. There are hawt valkyries in this one too?

[Grim.Reaper]

Watched the whole Valhalla series over the weekend, I like when they release all episodes.  For me it was typical Vikings, watchable but nothing unexpected or great.  It felt maybe a little too much the same but for all know maybe that is historically accurate.

I'm on episode 5 of a show on Netflix called, To the Lake.  It's a Russian show, dubbed into English (sort of like Squid Game with Korean-English).  If that doesn't bother you, then I'm giving it a very high recommendation.  The premise is a plague erupts in Russia and it turns into a Day Z situation, but without the zombies (so far).  The chicks are all Russian and super hot, and there's a satisfying amount of skin.  Oh, and the acting is pretty good, too.

Only one season that I can see, so it might be an ongoing show.

Each episode is about an hour long, so there's still a lot to get through in just what's currently available.

Just finished watching Book of Boba Fett on Disney +

What a show.  Good stuff.  I hate Cad Bane. 

[GDS_Starfury]

Cad Bane is awesome.  the character was kind of wasted in BOBF.

Cad Bane is awesome.  the character was kind of wasted in BOBF.

Definitely agree.  But what he did in BOBF kind of really pissed me off.  I won't get into details so as not to spoil the story.

Maybe they should do a series on Cad Bane.  His shrewd mind and his fighting skills really need to be showcased more than they were in BOBF.

I just got notified that Season 5 of, 'The Last Kingdom' is now available on Netflix.  :D  This is the final season and I'm kind of afraid to watch it end.  :'(
