Finished the final Wheel of Time book yesterday. Branden Sanderson has done a great job of finishing the story off. A shame Robert Jordan did not get to finish it himself.

Last 4 books were really good.

Love those books.

Try Magician by Raymond Feist

Love Feist books.

I did them in a janky order though lol. Read The Serpentwar Saga 1st, thought it was amazing so went and found the Riftwar Saga (which Magician is the 1st book of). Also amazing.
Had to keep going then and read The Riftwar Legacy as well, not quite as good as the others but still fantastic.

Have just done a google and seen he actually has written more stuff set in that universe, will have to get those now

Have you read his Druss novels? They are really good too.

I have. Him, David and Leigh Eddings, Peter Hamilton and Robert Jordan are my favourite authors along with Jim Butcher writer of the Dresden Files. Those are brilliant and there is a good 15 of them now. A Wizard Detective. What’s not to like? They really turn as well as you go through them. Fantasy series.

Started watching The Silent Sea on Netflix. Really good so far. Dubbed into english and I think some of the delivery of lines is lost a bit in the translation but really good story.

Just finished. Top quality series with an excellent story. Some of the camera work for certain scenes was superb. Really hoping for a second season of this, think I may have preferred it to Squid Game, which was also really good.

Anyone watching Andor? Absolute class.

How good are these Hobbit movies? A rewatch of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is next. All of this on the back of the truly excellent series on Amazon Prime. What a time to be alive!

John Folan

Anyone watching “SEE” on Apple TV? Absolutely brilliant. Fantastic concept. Jason Mamoa is a beast!!

Matt Wood

Did anyone watch this as a kid?

Nostalgia overload!! I used to get up REALLY early on a sunday morning to watch this

Ryan

Yea both were crackers, Tom Hardy was mega in this.

But then I loved Hugh Grant as well, what a performance!

@matt-wood I love this clip, soooo good! One of the best clips from a movie for me.

Let me tell you a joke...

It really is. I love this film and I love The Gentleman. Which is mad as I am a real sci fi nut usually.

You do. It’s really slow to start but definitely livening up.

Makes me laugh every time.

Tom Hardy does a great job playing two people in this film.

The LOTR series is warming up nicely. Wonder who “the stranger” is?

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.

I forgot Cobra Kai was back. Been trying to catch up on a multitude of programs. All over that now.
