I was beginning to lose faith in Netflix, they're pouring millions upon millions of our subscriber money in really average 5/10 movie productions, when their strength has always been in solid tv seasons.
Then this beauty came along. Gotta be honest, I almost didn't watch this show, saw trailer about a woman chess player and didn't think I'd be too into it, but all my friends kept recommending I watch it.
...so I did, and I ended up binge watching the entire thing. What can I say, perfect casting, stunning script, beautifully shot, exceptional sound with even more exceptional soundtrack. Perfect editing. This series is like a perfect storm of elements that felt like a wonderful breath of fresh air, a sheer delight in a year of darkness that is 2020.
No spoilers, no details just, just go watch it, you will not be disappointed.
Netflix still can't seem to make decent movies yet, so please stop wasting our money on average to poor films, and invest more into shows like this please!

I've recently been re-watching all of DS9 from scratch and was working my way up to this episode, an episode I knew I was very much looking forward to watching again.
Now normally I'm not a fan of what you might call the 'filler' episodes you get in Star Trek, you know nothing especially exciting happens its usually some basic moral story cause the writers were having a lazy week blah blah yawn.
The very first time I saw this episode I got that impression from the first few seconds that this might be a filler episode so wasn't that excited... but then I watched, and kept watching, and became glued to the screen and so emotionally involved. By the end of it I had tears streaming down by face.
There's a good reason why this particular episode of DS9 has so many reviews of it, because it really is THAT special, not just for DS9, but any television show ever made. It's such an incredibly moving script about the love between father and son that it seems to have elevated everyones A-game. The directing the acting cinematography, even music, the music especially felt far more raw and emotional than any episode before. I think everyone working on this particular one felt truly inspired by it.
But especially the acting by Avery Brooks, Cirroc Lofton and Tony Tood just killed me. It's like they all drew from some deep personal experiences to deliver those performances. Just wow, honestly, if there's one episode of DS9 that is not to be missed, it is this one.
If one really had to nit-pick, you could argue the older Nog wasn't so great, but it doesn't matter. Watching it again after all these years it still brought me to tears, and for it to move me that much emotionally and really cut right through me....deserves a 10/10 from me.
