On your recommendation I saw it listed on Netflix tonight and watched first 2 episodes. Liked it a lot ! Thanks for the tip. This is a good one I might well have passed over. Always searching for a good book or a good film... They can be hard to find.

Yes, watched all 7 episodes in 2 nights, Sun & Mon. Good movie!

So happy to read this string; I've been looking at that series and wondering if I would like it. Now it's on my list.

Anyone Else?

Great book ! Don't have Netflix but the whole series will probably be in our Villages/Sumter library like the other series.

For history buffs or others, the library has a good series called "The Crown" about the present English queen, all done more like a novel with very good acting. Takes queen Elizabeth from her childhood, to marriage, queen, etc. but presented more like a movie, not a documentary.

The car continues to the airport with the government handler who was supposed to look after her, and did so throughout her stay in Moscow. Given the way his role was portrayed, he would have left the car and walked after her, not continue alone to the airport. This scene is simply not realistic.

Small - The night before her match with Borgov in Paris, she slept with the model. There was no hint before that she was attracted to women, and no explanation or follow up afterwards

When disclosing such details it's best to preface with "Spoiler Alert"

Loved it. Too bad there is not a second season.

After reading all these comments, we watched it and were completely involved from the beginning. Loved her interaction with Mr. Schaibel. Thanks, all.
