Some of these audio comics are pretty good if you are a star wars fan

Just watched a quick episode of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' before bed. Bunch of narcissists who run a bar in Philadelphia. Seriously funny and sometimes very very cruel.

Danny Devito is in it although not until the 2nd season.

Smashing through Gardens of the Moon so thanks for recommending the Malazan Book of the Fallen series.

Be warned about 2nd book, it jumps to a different continent, different set of characters. Same empire though. Book 3 then comes back to follow Gardens of the Moon.

There’s another author writing in the same universe as well isn’t there?

Will try his when I finish this lot. Thanks for the warning though

Yes I think Castlemount is his name. They co created the universe to be an role playing system years ago I think.
I haven't read any of the Castlemount stuff yet but I think its set slightly before what you are reading now and only loosely connected.

Pretty much. I think. I’ll be a while getting through these and then my daughter bought me the Altered Carbon books so it will be some time before I get near looking at them.

Watched Motherless Brooklyn last night about pi with tourettes. Real noir feel to it like Chinatown. Ed Norton wrote, directed and starred. Prob one of my favourite actors although not done much for a while.

@john-folan If you like Gardens of the Moon then you will like the rest as they get better and better.

@ryan Very gritty in relation to the stylised mob stuff. Very shocking and real at times but highly recommended.

Ryan

@richard-latimer never seen it, I’ll give it a look.

Any fans of Gomorrah here? Not always an easy watch and subtitled but prob one of the best mafia dramas out there and I include Sopranos in that.

Just finished seasons 2 of Cobra Kai and have just about nostalgicised my pants off!

The school fight seen is epic, despite the fact that the 'fight' scenes are comical. Some of these young kids are decent actors!

Such an easy watch isn’t it? Johnny is the greatest.

Thats exactly the right description, 'easy watch'. Its great. Hoping season 3 doesn't go off the rails now though. Seen rumours that Terry Silver is going to be in season 4, wonder if they will get Mike Barnes too?

@john-folan did you get Sackboy? That's another platformer on my PS4 list but again I'm waiting for a price drop. I played a bit of Crash 4 but that games pretty brutally difficult.

Yes my daughter (18) loves it. I’ve not had time to give it a going over. I finished Crash 4 but that was brutal. I get like I’d had a prostate exam after o finished it
