But my sister adores it and has been trying to get me to watch at least the first episode. I watched the whole first season. Its well done. Cheerful. I was impressed by the intricate skill and artistry involved. It didn't hurt that Kate advanced to the semifinal, either. I likely won't watch any more of it though. But it was a good binge this past week. I needed a complete switch off from watching the news. The reason why its so popular over here in my opinion, and the same for Strictly (our version of Dancing with the stars) is that its a nice gentle break from the shit of the news. No malice, just people doing stuff. See also Pottery throwdown, repair shop, sewing bee etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The Expanse season 5 is out so that's what's on my radar. Pretty much the best tv show ever made imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was suggesting that although Mandolorian and Cobra Kai are fantastic in their own right, that part of their popularity may be down to the nostalgic charm giving us a happy glow during the current shitstorm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Episode 5 tonight (managing to restrict to one a night) very good so far, he is a very naughty boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Will be starting the Serpent tonight but also recording Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains on Comedy Central tonight. However, really looking forward to sky Arts Landscape Artist of The Year 2021 which kicks off tomorrow. I really enjoy both the Landscape and Portrait competitions - some amazingly talented people out there.

wilko154 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Watched episode one of The Pembrokeshire Murders on ITV last night. Good so far, I know very little about them which always helps make it more interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before but there's no way you're going to appreciate Cobra Kai if you were never into Karate Kid. That said, I bloody love it with the exception of Samantha LaRusso's latest boy dramas.

They show a flashback of the old scene when i need context, though really don't even need that, just need to know two old enemies hated each other at school and thats about it.

Hard work first few episodes for sure, is it me or does anyone else say out load 'two months later' in a French accent like on SpongeBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it’s cheesy and predictable as hell. Maybe you can still enjoy it but without the nostalgia factor it is greatly diminished. Part of the excitement is which character they’ll bring back next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
