Netflix/Amazon/Gaming and Book Recommendations

Those of you who like Cobra Kai, I won't spoil it but you will not be disappointed with season 5.

Also Just finished Hellbound on Netflix, really interesting idea for a show, enjoyed it even though it was not what I thought it would be. Koreans are really producing so refreshingly new stuff.

That's like James Felton's book '52 Times Britain Was a Bellend' History we're not taught!

Absolutely nothing like it To say Robert Kiyosaki would be insulted by that comparison would be an understatement

OK sorry

It is very enlightening all the same!

Currently listening to an audiobook called "Rich Dad Poor Dad" which offers very interesting insights into training your thoughts around money.

Was another of the review bombed ones. I looked at imdb.and thought nah......then I read that people had intentionally trashed it and saw the number of 1 star reviews.

I’m watching it. Slow burner I think. I quite like it. On the second episode and it’s picking up.

As for source material I’ve given up on getting true versions anymore and just decided to enjoy what they throw at me

Just got the final book of The Wheel of Time left now. Brandon Sanderson has done a great job of finishing things of. A real shame Robert Jordan didn't get to finish it himself though.

Ryan

I loved this film!

Watched Hustle on Netflix last night, really enjoyed that. I am an Adam Sandler fan but sometimes he kinda just plays himself in films. Hustle is great though and I'm not at all a basketball fan.

22k 1 star and 29.5k 10 star.

Seems review bombing goes both ways. Ruins it for people trying to actually make a sensible choice about something.

No matter the type of show, to get either a 1 or a 10 it would have to be horrendous or amazing. I would imagine most things are somewhere inbetween.

I would give it a go if I were you, it might bake your biscuit. Ignore all the stupid reviews.

I'd be more inclined to give something a genuine 10 than a 1. When something has a large amount 7's, 8's, 9's, 10's and 1's......I'm going to discount the 1's......unless there's a similar number of 2's and 3's!

@matt-wood That could be a shame! I'm with you I loved the books, so so good. Just finished re reading them as well.

Matt Wood

@ryan I saw it but its not going to be for me. Visually it is fantastic, but as a fan of the original books it is a little too far removed from the source and doesn't 'feel' like Lord of The Rings. Thats just me though.

Ryan

Anybody seen the Lord Of The Rings one on Amazon yet?

Want to watch it but wasn't sold after the trailer.

Richard Latimer

I usually look at reviews on IMDB when deciding what to watch. I now see the phenomena that is review bombing so I've gone back and added Moon Knight, She-Hulk and Ms Marvel to my list!
