What are you watching on Netflix?

[dbnm]

Take a little time and watch Marc Maron's "End Times Fun" which was recorded in late 2019. Super funny and relevant.

*If you are sensitive to bad language, viewer beware.

[sjbraun]

Outsider- binged three episodes last night, really good

[Jaybee]

Rewatching The Expanse on Prime Video

[robt57]

Not watching Pandemic or Outbreak, which seem to be trending...

Waiting for The classics to show up, Omega Man, Andromeda, 12 Moneys, Legend variants, zombies zombies zombies, etc etc..

[tuscanyswe]

Better call saul. Best series on the network imo.

[Davist]

Rewatching The Expanse on Prime Video

considering this as well, great program. Travelers was also good recently (forgot if Netflix or prime)

[William]

Better call saul. Best series on the network imo.

Ditto, wish they would add more seasons. They just added the fourth after like a year or so and I breezed through it.

Our daughter got me sucked into The Great British Bake off.

Shawshank is on NF.

Paddle to Seattle on Prime was good.

[colker]

A very cool vampire series. I love vampire movies. It´s french btw..

[coreyaugustus]

Drive to Survive... If I can't have F1, let's at least have a gossipy behind the scenes show.

Sex Education... Gillian Anderson just gets better and better.

Babylon Berlin... A bit soapy, but good.

[robt57]

Our daughter got me sucked into The Great British Bake off.

We watched also Best British Bakery on Pluto TV.

Pluto is cool, just need to hack my Smart TV code to be smart enough to skip the commercials...

[cgolvin]

Schitt's Creek.
Catherine O'Hara is a treasure, as is Eugene Levy (and the rest of the cast is outstanding too).

[jimcav]

have gone through PBS shows like midsummer murders and now am now doing foreign (dubbed) versions. Just finished Valhalla Murders and am currently watching Bordertown
I'd prefer to read but local library is closed and was before even the SIP order

[arimajol]

I'm on the last season of The Good Place, which I've been watching on the trainer for the past month. I just started rewatching Downton Abbey the other night too. I'm not a big tv watcher.

[Dave]

I just endured Marriage Story. It should have been titled divorce story. Been there done that.

[Jaybee]

Schitt's Creek.
Catherine O'Hara is a treasure, as is Eugene Levy (and the rest of the cast is outstanding too).

Levy's eyebrows alone are worth the watch. Great show.

[nobuseri]

Finishing up Frontier. Before that, I watched Altered Carbon and Wu Assassins and Peaky Blinders (binged).

Ready for Ozark, season 3 at the end of next week. :)

These are all watched when in endurance sessions on the trainer.

[Clancy]

Really enjoyed “With These Wheels”. Amazon Prime

How bicycles changed the lives of 4 individuals. Very good movie!

[tbike4]

The End of the f****ng World. Quirky, unusual, weird. I like it.

After you’re done, check out ‘Trapped” - set in Iceland. It i excellent.

[rrudoff]

Midnight Diner-Tokyo Stories Really good, first saw a couple episodes on a flight a month or so ago, then watched both seasons, short 25 minute or so episodes subtitled in English. About a lot more than food.

[Spoker]

Can a series jump the shark and still be good?
Peaky Blinders is.

[AngryScientist]

I'm planning on re-watching lots of Bond movies starting tonight.

[tjk23]

Schitt's Creek.
Catherine O'Hara is a treasure, as is Eugene Levy (and the rest of the cast is outstanding too).

Levy's son on the show is his real life son and his real life daughter is the waitress at the diner. Talk about keeping it in the family.

[tuscanyswe]

I'm planning on re-watching lots of Bond movies starting tonight.

I just saw casino royale yday.
I think its the best bond of the lot.

[choke]

After you’re done, check out ‘Trapped” - set in Iceland. It i excellent.Trapped is excellent. I'd also suggest Borderliner (Norwegian), The Break (Belgian) and La Mante (French).

[BryanE]

Rectify
Occupied
Rake
Ragnorak- Swedish version featuring a young Thor
Norseman
Travels With My Father

[Dave]

Peaky Blinders and Ripper Street are both good series.

[72gmc]

Levy's eyebrows alone are worth the watch. Great show.

I’ve probably seen Father of the Bride 20 times because my wife loves it. I laugh at his wedding singer audition every time.

Last 2 series, both good for me:

I Am Not Okay With This
Reprisal

[jimcav]

After you’re done, check out ‘Trapped” - set in Iceland. It i excellent.

I forgot to say I watched "the sniffer" and enjoyed most of the shows, although the premise was a bit silly.

[makoti]

Rewatching The Expanse on Prime Video

Just started this today!

[josephr]

I really enjoyed the first season of Schitt's Creek, but the show didn't seem to be going anywhere in season 2....y'all missing the good stuff though.

Narcos and Narcos:Mexico --- drug cartel drama stuff based on DEA case files and interviews and stuff. Incredible.
Also really enjoyed the 1st two seasons of Mindhunter. Can't wait for more.
Also, Better Call Saul season 4 is on Netflix.

The series that really has me going right now is Ozark with Jason Bateman, Laura Linney and some really great casting, writing, cinematography, etc. Its like Breaking Bad meets Narcos, with a little of Deliverance thrown in.

Really want to watch Peaky Blinders too....maybe after done with season 3 of Ozark. :)

[oldpotatoe]

I started watching the Tiger King series. So many crazy people that I couldn't turn it off. Joe Exotic is a nut

[pcxmbfj]

A very cool vampire series. I love vampire movies. It´s french btw..

Missed name.

[veloduffer]

I like The Crown, which gave me a much better appreciation of the royal family’s place in history and government. I actually feel sort of sorry for them, often trapped in positions where you can’t really be yourself.

My current fav is PBS series, Endeavour, which is the prequel to the long running Inspector Morse series. It features Morse as a young man in the 60s -70s

If you like PBS mysteries, I also recommend Grantchester whose main characters are an Anglican priest and cop in the 60-70s.

A good cycling movies was “All for One” which is free with Amazon Prime. It’s a behind the scenes look at the Orica-Edge team - fun and some uplifting stories too.

[cash05458]

The big cat thing is sorta interesting...watchable I guess...but...

most folks here don't know good film...sorry but true...get Criterion if stranded at home and learn a bit about real stuff...watch all those Kurosawa and Bergman movies...I would be glad to provide a list for anyone interested in actual film...a lot there on criterion...those are good movies if you root thru...otherwise, stay home and watch stuff made for 13 year olds like most things these days...check a few good movies out and open your heads...you guys are adults suppose I guess...maybe that time to act that way via movies and books...there is a ton of stuff and incredible you might have totally ignored while settling for pure child bs......might be time to educate and check it out...good time to do this maybe...up to you...

I watched "A serious man", a Cohen brothers film on Netflix last night, I was entertained.

[cash05458]

Any recommendations for funny films on Netflix?

Watched "The Other Guys" with the family last night. Mindlessly funny.

[paredown]

We had a good deal for a while--we can get NYC library cards even though we are in the 'burbs--and with that came access to Kanopy (and that included access to classic films from Criterion)--I did get to watch some stuff that I haven't seen in years or classics I had never seen.

Then the library decided it was too expensive and stopped the service...

I've been watching Altered Carbon on Netflix--yet another fairly mediocre sci-fi thing filmed in my old home town (one of the sports is trying to identify local landmarks in these productions). Pretty lame--but it is mainly just 'unwind' material..

I really enjoyed Unbelievable (I think Netflix), thought Fleabag was extraordinary as well... And for a network show, I enjoyed "The Good Place"

[Dsteiker]

Ultimate Restorations is really good. Can watch on Amazon prime. The attentions to detail and the process involved in these projects is pretty amazing

https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Restorations/dp/B071GMTCGJ

[Veloo]

Love, Death and Robots.
Animation shorts. Really only 2 that I liked.

[chunkylover53]

Don’t forget that there’s lots of great tv content on YouTube. Have a preference for British humour? Try out Would I Lie to You? Love that show.

[buddybikes]

Thanks for this thread, we are new to Netflix (yes consider us old geysers) and began a series last night. So great to turn off the depression stations

[Velocipede]

The West Wing. Wishing we had cool, calm and honest leadership right now.

[jeffkoller91]

I've been liking "The Good Place" if you're looking for something very light

[texbike]

We've caught up on "Picard" (CBS on Demand) the last few days. It's pretty solid. We're down to the last episode of the first season. Romulans, Borg, Synths and Seven of Nine. Not bad.

I've been a bit burned out on TV for the last couple of years, but will probably catch up on a few shows/movies that I've tuned out or forgotten about. Better Call Saul, Atlanta, and Westworld will be high on the list. Although, a steady stream of comedy might be a better choice. ;)

Texbike

[choke]

Suburra: Blood on Rome is a great series IMO. There is also a movie, Suburra - the series is the prequel to the movie.

There's a new documentary on Netflix that I just watched and really enjoyed; A Life of Speed: The Juan Manuel Fangio Story.

[mac.]

+1 for Ozark. Just started watching and I'm already looking forward to the new season coming out soon.

[vqdriver]

i highly highly recommend Terrace House. you'll need to turn on subtitles for it. it's a japanese reality show a la big brother but without any sensationalistic casting. the residents are free to come and go as they please and continue living their current lives with only a change of address. the people are real, relatable, and genuine. quite a change of pace from american tv which makes it eminently watchable. i find american tv can get exhausting after a while and need a break. it's like turning down the volume on life.

[Velocipede]

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot on Amazon Prime Video.

[speedevil]

I'm halfway through season 2 of Ozark, good stuff.

Finished The Ranch - Sam Elliott is great as the patriarch, and Elisha Cuthbert as his daughter in law is unexpectedly good. I wouldn't quite call it a sitcom, maybe an adult comedy series. Wendy Malick is good as an adversary. Dax Shepard is a good surprise too.

My wife has been binge watching Medium. I think that it fits the title - not horrible, but not great either.

If you liked Downton Abbey - on amazon, take a look at Dr. Thorne. I've read several of Anthony Trollope's novels and this was one of my favorites. Stefanie Martini is stunning, and Tom Hollander is good as always.

[CSKeller]

Season 2 of Formula 1: Drive to Survive
Superb program. Even my wife likes it and you get some insight into the driver personalities.

[Tim Porter]

Not Netflix, but Mhz Choice: All the many years of the Montalbano series, plus the prequel.

Also on Mhz Choice: Banking District (Switzerland), and Murder in . . . (France), the latter being more light entertainment with beautiful regions of France standing in for the TdF.

All Mhz series are in their respective languages with pretty good subtitles, btw.

[Velocipede]

On FX on Hulu, Devs. Super trippy show. Only 4 episodes so far but it's really good.

[Thrust]

F1 Drive to Survive S1
Westworld S3 (HBO)

and a bunch of British crime series like Shetland, Broadchurch and Endevour on the BBC.

[kppolich]

Cheers!

Started about a month ago and just met Fraiser in season 3. Man, this show wouldn't be allowed to air today, but I'm glad it's available. Only 190 more episodes to go. If I skipped the theme song I'd save 190 minutes in the future....

[BdaGhisallo]

I have been trying to watch netflix but find everything derivative when it´s not just plain bad. Some would make great feature films but extend the content to fit the series format w/ not so good results. I have abandoned quite a number in the last couple episodes then i gave up. I rather look out the window now: it is fresh and original out there.

[Whit51]

Tiger King and Dirty John

[soulspinner]

The Republic of Doyle.

[fignon's barber]

Older movie I'd not seen: Mystic River. Very good. (Netflix)

Tiger King
Season finale of Tiger King was a doozy. Can't wait for the second season

[paredown]

Not Netflix (and slightly outside the mainstream)--but the National Theatre in the UK is going to broadcasting free versions of its recent performances--one per week (and I think they will stay up for only one day).

First up on Thursday April 2 is 'One Man, Two Guvnors' starring James Corden.

I saw this in a close circuit broadcast eight or nine years ago, and laughed more in one performance than I probably had in the previous decade.

We were able to view it again last night--and it is still the best piece of theatrical farce I have ever seen.

Here's the National Theatre youtube channel (it seems like their are some problems linking from their home page):

On Kanopy streaming, (available through some libraries). Four stars.

In the Otztal Alps, more than 5300 years ago, Kelab returns from a hunting trip to find his settlement raided and his entire tribe, including his wife and son, murdered. Driven by pain and anger, Kelab has only one goal: revenge! Nominated for the Art Cinema Award for Best Feature at the Hamburg Film Festival. "Marked by stunning locations and Jakub Bejnarowicz's fleet, evocative cinematography, Iceman" is almost like something unearthed itself: a recognizable B western sharpened as much by its glints of psychology as by its kinetic savagery." - Robert Abele, The Los Angeles Times

I'm kind of with you on this. I had just cancelled it last month after several months of checking in and just feeling uninspired by 95% of what's on there. It all just feels so mass-produced. TV junk food, which is already junk food anyway, right? Unfortunately, I caved mostly due to the virus and being shut in with a family of 4 becoming increasingly bored. But I tell ya, if I lived in a more scenic spot, near a treeline, with a few bird feeders outside some good, large windows, I'd forget about netflix pretty quickly.

[72gmc]

Paredown, thank you for the National Theatre link. I saw a a story on it, but forgot it amid all the other news.

[SlowPokePete]

I really haven't watched much TV in years.

But I've watched the first two episodes of "Tiger King."

watched a newly-released docu about ZZ Top last nite...have a couple of ties to them, so was entertaining to me.

saw them in Indianapolis in the 70s, and got to sit on the stage during the performance (long story).

in the late 80s, had an office mate who had worked for the band as a guitar technician. turns out he was on the same stage in Indy...small world thing.

the film was ok, probably 15 min too long. but, if you like the group's music, worth a watch. you'll at least learn how they came up with their name...

[djg21]

I just watched “Once Were Brothers,” Robbie Robertson’s documentary about The Band. It was exceptional. https://www.oncewerebrothers.com/. It’s available to rent on Amazon Prime.

[proxient]

Check out The Girl With All The Gifts. A really good Zombie film that flew in completely under the radar a while back. I re-watched it last night on Netflix and liked it even more the 2nd time.

Yeah, my older son started watching while at college...says we have to get caught up....probably start this week.

"Luther" was another good Idris Elba show....

Watched "Uncut Gems" over the weekend....very missable….gave me a headache....most scenes have 5 people talking at once.

Watched "Uncut Gems" over the weekend....very missable….gave me a headache....most scenes have 5 people talking at once.

have been a huge Adam Sandler hater forever, but some friends convinced me to watch Uncut Gems with them...some critics had given it good reviews, so thought it might be ok.

absolutely awful. I'd rather have a triple root canal than watch this horrible movie again.

and anyone offended by the F-word will only last thru the opening credits. it probably makes up 70% of the dialogue...

[hellvetica]

Bound By Honor: Blood In Blood Out

Classic.

[wgp]

Adding my voice to the chorus - watched “Uncut Gems”with my 20 something son on Friday night, and we both thought it was terrible. I’ve never been an Adam Sandler fan, but it got such good reviews that I thought it was worth trying it. As a teen, my son was a big fan of the Sandler comedy films, but he too felt it was a waste of time.
Sandler plays an even more miserable human being than Larry David does on his HBO show, and that’s saying a lot! It’s well acted, but the character is so grating that it stretches one’s capacity to endure him through the entire 130 min film.

[tbike4]

So we could flip this thread a little and list the things that might look good but suck- REALLY suck. Or did that already happen. I'm behind here I guess. Watch the end of the f••••ng world.

I actually started watching The Crown and surprised the sƥt out of my wife and I don't give a hoot about the royals but I am kind of hooked. Witnessing the historic extreme of such a class system is a bit eye opening.

[Ozz]

Since Eva Green and Timothy Dalton were mentioned over in the Honor Blackmon / James Bond thread...."Penny Dreadful" is pretty good

Sort of an supernatural / occult mystery thriller set in in Victorian London...vampires, werewolves, witches, and guns.

Victor Frankenstein (along with the monster and "bride of"), Mina Harker, Dracula and Dorian Gray all involved.

[charliedid]

I made it through one episode of Tiger King :(

I watched that entire GD show, I thought it was a single movie. If I wasn't stuck in the house I too would have bailed.

I don't mind weird but those people...

[dustyrider]

As for films to watch instead of focusing on Sandler dislike(he's amazing)...
I discovered YouTube Movies recently. There are loads of free movies, and if you have an adblocker they're truly free!

Some good ones off the top of my head which I really enjoy... though you may disagree:

Ronin- stellar cast, gun fights, and car chases!

Quigley Down Under- good score, excellent cast, and a real good guy protagonist vs real bad guy antagonist.

Cherry 2000- B movie one-liners for days, cool car, lovely leading lady

Lone Wolf McQuade- Chuck Norris at his absolute finest!

Over the Top- Stallone being Stallone while surprisingly not being Stallone...

Into the Blue- Underwater breath holding challenge, and incredibly beautiful people wearing swimsuits!

Navy Seals- Glamorized war carnage and Bill Paxton

4 Minute Mile- A real tear jerker for the runners

Blown Away- explosions and surprisingly bad accents from such an excellent cast

Muscle Shoals- Music Doc. of some of the greatest music ever created

There are still plenty I'm looking forward to watching, and there were some others I had taken note of, but it looks like YouTube must rotate out pretty regularly to the buy/rent option.

Enjoy!

[jlwdm]

Senna - subtitles

A Life of Speed: Fangio - lots of subtitles

I enjoyed both of these movies. Interesting to watch the old F1 races. Very dangerous.

I just finished both seasons of Formula One: Drive to Survive. That was a very well done series.

I used to follow F1 with more dedication but my wane of interest coincided with the birth of my daughter. Watching the series brought some fresh air and now I will be more interested to follow the races when the season restarts.

Audience dependent, all on Netflix...
Wife and I enjoyed series The Crown
Teen daughters like series Anne with an "E" and Heartland
Pan's Labyrinth is a great movie - haunting
Giri/Haji good detective series (Japanese/BBC collaboration)
Black Earth Rising another good series
Mudbound

Beasts of No Nation
The Two Popes - surprisingly good

Babylon Berlin.

As the Berliner on this forum, I feel it is my duty to highly recommend it.

It's an amazing show.

The song that the photographer sings at his birthday, that whole scene. That was worth watching.

Money Heist - but you must watch it with subtitles. Just doesn’t sound right in English.

On Netflix, I'm just getting to Ozark (my wife had several other dark serials to finish first) and The Death of Stalin.

On youtube, I'm missing the ski season by watching Cody Townsend's The Fifty series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSj-6RsDycxnKiIFFm0BFYoLLV5Np3K49

[Seramount]

On Netflix, I'm just getting to Ozark...

season one showed promise, some interesting characters and a plotline somewhat similar to Breaking Bad (the 'good guys' are criminals).

but, as season two grinds along, it's becoming harder and harder to accept how many times the Byrde 'organization' avoids consequences of their acts.

also getting tired of how often Marty / Wendy justify the ever-rising body count by saying 'it's to protect the family'...

the writing needs to tighten up or I might ghost on season three.

IMO season 2 was looking for a direction and was sloppy. I think S3 found where to go and was better. Sometimes it seems Marty should shut up and just let Ruth f-bomb her way to the top of the gang.

[Toddtwenty2]

I haven't had a taste for anything too serious lately. The following two have been playing here:

1) Parks and Recreation - I never tire of this show

2) Longmire - Like a male version of a soap opera... A direct, manly man, that is a sheriff in rural Wyoming and hasn't adopted technology.

Keeping it light around here.

I always liked Longmire. It was AMC’s highest watched show but they canceled it because it skewed toward older demographics (40 and over). I was so glad that Netflix picked it up and finished the series.

I am also quite grateful they picked it up.

I can see how it would skew toward an older demographic. Most of my Uncles would count themselves as aspirational Walts. It's like an updated John Wayne flick.

Absolutely delightful and at PG the kids can watch too. One of the most enjoyable movies I’ve seen this year.

Seemed weird enough it might be fun.....

Season 2 of dead to me (disposable, but fun)

Season 3 of Ozark. Just gets better and better.

[Black Dog]

Sorry fo this has been mentioned. Season 2 of After Life. Just as good if not better than season 1. Ricky Gervais has done a great job again.

[sleepyfelix]

I can highly recommend 'The Last Dance' - great documentary on Chicago Bulls and their rise to prominence in the late 90's. I forgot just what an amazing athlete Michael Jordan was, and the soap opera/politics going on behind the scenes with Rodman and Pippin as well.

Jordan's influence as a producer and what he is choosing to leave in or leave out is pretty interesting. It becomes honest and illuminating in its obvious bias. I'm glad he found basketball, because otherwise he'd be a serial killer.

Seems its can be quite hard to reach sporting superstardom without being a bit of a dick. As a non US citizen growing up I only saw the Nike propoaganda at the time, so I found the documentary fascinating all the same.

I think it's fascinating as well. And this from a US born basketball obsessive, who admittedly can remember every time Jordan shivved the opponent in crunch time. Was there any doubt that poor Byron Russell was getting cooked?

Any of you watching Marcella?

Just finished the second season, pretty good but think each season has had some significant problems in the crime story. Curious if others feel the same.

[retropean]

I think you should leave. So absurd but you can’t help but laugh. Almost on the same level as Nathan for you. Any other good comedy on Netflix? I’ve been re-watching people just do nothing after watching the movie big in Japan.

I'm halfway through the Korean series "Hellbound”. Its been a tough slog, very gruesome in many ways but, at the same time, a bit captivating. 96% on Rotten Tomatoes for what that is worth.

Curious if anyone here has watched the German series “Dark” this is outstanding TV. I think it being on Netflix has somewhat limited the success since it seem to me that NEtflix does not invest in popularizing as many shows as other networks/content producers. This is not a new release, in fact this series has 3 seasons and out.

Also, if you like animation, Arcane is great.

Finished recently the 3 seasons of Narcos. Have watched some of the Mexico, likely will keep going on this one too. And then Chapo.

Midnight Mass was well done, recommended too, this is dark sci-fy can’t say much more w.o spoilers

Watched “true story” is it was ok. Good to see Kevin Hart on a different tone.

It's one of the most well thought-out Sci-Fi themed shows ever. Add to that some really good choice of music, and the entire thing is just chef's kiss level of perfection.

My wife seems to be obsessed with serial killers so was watching the other night.
Pretty good so far if that is what you like.

[aydraper]

Just started Schitt’s Creek. Did not like the first episode but everyone says it’s great. So I’ll keep trying a few more episodes.

Just finished the Kominsky Method. Loved it. But you might need to be over 50 to appreciate the humor. Season 1 and 2 were brilliant. Season 3 was not as good IMO

Unless one can speak German, there will already be a language barrier.

Then there's the fact that even the somewhat peripheral characters are important, and the audience gets introduced to them fast, and it just really never lets up from there.

It's good....we watched it a few months ago.

The dubbing and subtitles are interesting....they don't always "say" the same thing...quirky, but not a problem.

Yeah, pay attention...characters can get confusing as there are often **********************.....

We also just wrapped up "Locke & Key" which is pretty good, although characters do typically stupid "horror movie" type things.

A new season of "Lost in Space" was recently released...I enjoy it...nice reimagining of the TV series.

Looking forward to new season of "The Expanse" although I should probably rewatch last season to remember what is going on....

"Britannia" (Prime Video) was interesting enough....weird music choices....odd ending though, like the writers were told to wrap it up cuz there was not going to be another season.

I watched Dark. My wife loved it, for me it was okay.

Just finished the live version of Cowboy BeBop. Most of the episodes are pretty good but the jazz intro and music are great. My wife and I both enjoyed.

Just started Arcane, about three episodes in and we really like it so far.

Looking forward to season two of the Witcher.

Dope Sick

Its excellent, very sad but so is the opiate crisis.

At the mention of Dope Sick I'm going to recommend falling down the Michael Keaton rabbit hole ...

... all the way to Mr. Mom. Keaton, Teri Garr, Martin Mull, I forget who plays the naughty local housewife (Ann Jillian?), Christopher Lloyd, Jeffrey Tambor. I can't remember why I watched it recently, but it was good to remember how funny those actors were.

We recently finished all three seasons. I dont recall any issues with Season 1. I do remember a couple times I guess Season 2 where my suspension of disbelief was strained or broken, if that makes sense. But I guess I was entertained enough to keep watching. The first season was better than the second. The third season does offer up a fresh new plot line and characters.

Succession. Okay it's HBO, but it's really good.

Like bandaid, kleenex, xerox, at this point we can treat Netflix as generic netflix, to refer to any subscription streaming service.
succession is good. There is a bit of spinning of wheels this season compared to first two but I am still watching it.

Anyone done 14 Peaks on Netflix? Really enjoyed that. Wild, wild challenge. If anything, I wish the film highlighted how insane climbing an 8000m mountain is, but there’s only so many minutes of the film to really display that when someone’s climbing fourteen of them. Nice for Nepalese climbers to finally get the recognition they deserve in front of a wider audience, too.
