anybody else's wife making them watch Cheer? Only to realise it's not too bad!

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!

@john-folan now both sound ok to me, I haven’t actually done the books! They are downloaded on my kindle, but I thought I’d do the show then read them as it’s usually very very different.

Boba will be mega then!

Yes do it that way. It will take you a while to get through the books anyway..

First episode of Boba kicks off lovely. Haven’t seen the second yet.

@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.
