    I saw it and I thought it was just ok. I do know a lot of people really liked it.


    What I really enjoyed was Queens Gambit.

      Nice. That’s on my list. But I don’t really do a lot of tv shows. I have a habit of not finishing them.

          it was a great story it proves with hard work, determination and some basic common sense and logic an individual can overcome poverty, and the politics of tribalism and crazy.

            Haven't seen it, but heard it was an offshoot of a 1960s book entitled something like "The other side of America"

            An unfortunate truth, IMO, is that they'll always be scarcity.

            With social programs though, IMO, no-one in today's world need suffer depravation.

            Fraud (IMO) must be eliminated though as 3/4 of the claims are bogus.

                I liked it. Ron Howard tells a good story. If you want a bit of a darker tale set in the same region try The Devil All The Time.

                      If you see the real pictures of the characters, they made Glenn Close look exactly like the real grandmother.

                        Glenn close looked a lot like a cross between Mrs. Doubtfire and Woody Harrelson.
                        It was okay.
