Just finished season 4 of Cobra Kai. Bloody love this show. Can go OTT on the teenage but it’s brilliant. The old school cast just own it.

The Terry Silver twist was fantastic! I thought it would go another way there. For a very nearly 60 year old dude, he can clearly still fight!

He really can. I’m guessing the next season will be the last. Have to say Johnny Lawrence is just the best character ever.

Yea I think it will be the last. They will hopefully try bringing Mike Barnes into it too.

@simji Love Ballers!!!

Yes, I was the same with it - Wife loves it. It's alright to zone out too, don't have to think while watching it.

Simji

I'm trying to get through ballers at present.

If you like good intense Police Dramas, which I do as an Ex Cop, then Stay Close is excellent on Netflix. James Nesbit stars.

I like well written powerful dramas, as I studied to be a copywriter an do write some good stuff, so I have an interest in this type of stuff

Afterlife season 3, loving this!

John Folan

The final series of the expanse is shaping up superbly. I cannot recommend this programme highly enough.

@matt-wood on book 2. Persevering as so many people tell me it’s worth it.

I like a couple of books on the go though.

If anyone like their fantasy novels I can recommend The Dragons of Dorcastle. Book 1 of the Pillars of Eternity. Fantasy with a steam punk element. I have picked up the 2nd book as I enjoyed it enough to commit to the series.

Gracias. I was looking for something new to read

Out of curiosity how far did you get with the Malazan books?

Just back from Spider-Man. Pretty epic!

Glad you have enjoyed it. Plenty of surprises hey?

Well I didn't want the main surprise so I needed to find out as soon as I could. That said, I avoided reading anything about how and what happened as much as possible haha!
