@john-folan the same lot who moan about every fantasy series based on books. Let’s face it if everything is the exact same what’s the point? Just read the book! I thought first episode was up and down but second better. That’s all I’ve watched so far. Just finished second series of the Witcher which I loved, first series was good overall but had some up and down episodes, thought this series was solid throughout.

Can’t argue with that. Oh so you haven’t had episode 4 yet? You are in for a treat .

Love the Witcher. You are right. Has been up and down.

People love a moan don’t they?

@ryan a lot of people moaning about the wheel of time as they have changed it quite a bit from the books. However despite the facts it gets on my nerves sometimes as I loved the books it has moments of sheer genius in it.

Boba is shaping up as well as the Mandalorian

Ryan

Boba good?

Wheel of time too?

Both on my list.

Anyone watched Dopesick? Michael Keaton brings his A game

Akiva Anderson

‘Come From Away’ the musical is on AppleTV. Better still, catch it live at the Phoenix Theatre in London.

My wife and I are booking flights to see it again in April.

Just smashed through seasons 3 and 4 of Cobra Kai in the last two days. Its really great how many of the original cast members they have managed to get into the series Makes me feel old though!

Richard Latimer

Finally got round to watching 'Don't Look Up' before I caught anymore spoilers. Very funny, very clever, very f*****g depressing haha!

Ryan

@john-folan Nope! Finishing Hawkeye then will do that, I want to do the Will Smith one on Disney too looks good!

Richard Latimer

Netflix dragging me down another serial killer rabbit hole with its latest doc. The Times Square Torso Killer. A lovely little guy I'd not heard of until it came up on my home screen haha!

Richard Latimer

Tiger King 1 & 2. What a wild ride. And I thought zoo ownership was all about conservation of endangered species, not getting laid by loads of hot chicks and trying to get your rivals banged up haha!

Makes me wonder what's going on at the 'Cotswold Wildlife Park' haha!

Anyone watched the first episode of Boba Fett yet? I think I’m going to enjoy this series.

Just finished the 6th and final season of 'The Americans' over Christmas. 2 KGB agents posing as a typical married couple in suburban Washington during the Cold War in the 80's.

Probably a bit far fetched at times but really excellent overall and unlike anything else out there.

You can always forgive something if it's not as amazing as say Game Of Thrones (for most of the show) when what it's trying is something completely original. There is nothing to compare it against because as far as I'm aware no other show has attempted to infiltrate the cover lives of KGB agents living in the states.

Ryan

@matt-wood Ahahaha yes indeed! They love him, he's a unit as well.

Matt Wood

@ryan Haha I bet your mate is popular with the ladies then

Ryan

@matt-wood watched it too, thought it was great very funny too. Statham is a best at those roles, got a mate in the gym who looks exactly like statham - scary as lol
