GarethRDR Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I'm with @ender4 on that, I think I've watched the original Karate Kid movie maybe once in my lifetime and it was... fine. Never watched the sequels, never been particularly attached to the franchise but have immensely enjoyed Cobra Kai. Helps that it just embraces the sheer ridiculousness of the whole thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted January 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2021 Someone mentioned Bosch in this thread at some point and it's pretty decent. So many actors from The Wire feature in it. On S6 and enjoyed it. Think I need to try The Expanse again after Bosch. Tried to watch The Expanse about 5 times but can never get past the first episode. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 binged Cobra Kai and have to say its super impressive. I was expecting something super cheesy and for children but its quite dark as well as funny at times. William Zabka deserves awards for his performance and hopefully can get some movie roles going forward 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I love Bosch. It's basically a cookie-cutter cop show, but I find it oddly compelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2021 Don’t really watch itv much but fair’s fair, I enjoyed the Pembrokeshire murders drama. A solid watch throughout, doesn’t outstay it’s welcome. I really like Luke Evans, maybe I haven’t got a decent read on things, but to me it feels like quite a big “get” for itv getting him on board. And I can’t remember the last time I saw Keith Allen in anything, not a huge fan of his football anthems, but he’s always watchable. Spoiler Grim subject matter obviously, but I couldn’t help but smile when a crucial point in the drama is accompanied by the Bullseye theme tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I know why Cobra Kai is so succesful, it's because people, perhaps without realizing it are fed up with how boring and stale current TV dramas have become, most of them using the same tired old formulatic cliches in order to become the lastest big event "binge watch show".

I've binged all of Bosch. Took me 3 weeks. A strange feeling of emptiness when I realised it was all over. Apparently, the next season will be the last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 finished Cobra Kai, season 3 starts weak but gets better. Daniels wife is one of the underrated gems of the show with a bit of sarcasm thrown in every so often Spoiler Robby Keene changes sides more times than his namesake.

Reminded me a bit of oceans 11, the good parts... You know what he's going do but you don't know how he's going to do and then I think Sy has the same kind of charm as Clooney and Pitt in that film Really enjoyed it Edited January 17, 2021 by villa4europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Watched a few things recently. I’m 6 episodes into The Serpent, and throughly enjoying it. It’s a mad story and one I’d not come across before. Charles Sobhraj is a sinister character that I’d never heard of. I agree with @PieFacE on the drink taking point, I wondered that too. But then they are space cadet ‘long hairs’, not known for their common sense. I watched the first episode of Lupin last night, it looks very good. I always watch with subtitles so didn’t really notice the dubbing too much. Cool story though. Also watched the Pembrokeshire Murders this week, after someone recommended it. Had to endure adverts for the first time in ages but it was worth it. Again I’d never heard of John Cooper, which surprised me as I’m sure it would have been all over the news at various times in my life. There’s another programme that explains the case on ITV, with interviews from the detectives. That’s worth a watch too after you finish the main series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All too often I’m watching something and get distracted by my phone so have to actually put my phone away to concentrate on the programme. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
