My house is not on it 😉

Could be a double-edged sword. Taking the F1 Drive to Survive experience it has certainly increased awareness and interest in the sport, but there is an undercurrent of F1 snobs who deride anybody new to the sport as a "Drive to Survivor", a term used to suggest someone who only knows what Netflix has told them, which is often slated as being deliberately sensationalist and provides a narrative that is more fiction than fact.

I'll be watching it though, as I do DTS.

Don't suppose it's going to be anything like Django Unchained which I've just watched on Netflix, a Tarantino film which I can highly recommend.

If you don't have Netflix you could beg or borrow someone's log in details. I wouldn't have said Netflix is worth paying for.

We were going to cancel Netflix but I want to wait till July

Not everyone's cup of tea I know, but Netflix also did a cracking series on the PGA tour called Full Swing, so if its anything as good as that, I'll be watching. To be fair, I've never watched DTS, but I've always been interested in what drives individuals to be the best and what separates them from the rest of us. Programmes like this can really be quite insightful.

Just watched the advert.

I'm in.

Two more days to go! I’m finally grateful to be in pain and on the sofa because then I can watch this guilt free!

On reminder - looking forward to it.

Yes, non-golfer here but Full Swing was very good.

They are clamping down on that now. I am now on an official sub-account to my sister's account for £4.99/month.

Thoroughly enjoyed the first episode! What struck me is the terrifying speed and proximity within the peloton. I knew they were fast and close but the on-bike camera really brought that home, I could hardly watch at times. My respect for the riders has increased enormously!

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I got fed up with the disjointed mish-mash of talking heads, slight delays in translated talkover commentary etc and general lack of cohesiveness.

Very messy and not in the same league as F1's Drive to Survive franchise.

Disappointed.

Ohh something for the weekend - MrsF is off to the caravan with her sister, son and daughter away, so it's me, my bike, and stuff I want to watch on TV. Yeh !

I subscribed on the understanding that was about something other than Golf.

Cancelled after 20 disappointing minutes
