Watched the third season of "Cobra Kai". Definitely weak. As mentioned, the first season dynamic between Johnny and Daniel was interesting and could definitely have been explored in a more meta/comedic fashion.

Yep, this was exactly where I hoped it was heading having watched the first few episodes of the 1st season, but it became apparent by season two that this was turning into another 13 Reasons Why or some similarly insufferable teen drama. I'm three episodes into Season 3 and it's pretty much more of the same.

Nah it's class. The cringe is part of the craic. You're meant to feel really uncomfortable about it and then the No Mercy stuff kicks in. It's a tease of a series. Love it.

Anyone watch Devs? 2 episodes in and not moved by it as of yet but told to keep at it.

Intrigued to see just how good season 2 of The Mandalorian having just finished up a thoroughly enjoyable first one.

Season one I would rate 8/10. Season 2 is a 9.5 with the last 2 episodes turned up to 11. The last two episodes are fucking amazing.

Given everyone has been anxiously waiting for an update; I enjoyed Devs. Visually pleasing and a nice warp for the brain. Alex Garland must not get much sleep with all his dystopian musings.

Where did you watch that? I missed it when BBC had it originally. Nick Offerman is always worth a watch.

Vikings is finally done and dusted. Wrapped up very suitably. What a great fuckin show.

Yup, The Mandalorian was class. Bill Burr was excellent in it; his unique off-the-cuff natural bark gave perfect grey shade to the otherwise - let's be honest - slightly too black and white Star Wars universe.

Aye Bill Burr was brilliant in it. Did you see the bit halfway thru the end credits of the last episode. Now watch Dark lad.

We did. Since the concept art during the end credits of every episode, along with the just perfect theme music, was so stunning, we were already in the habit of watching right to the end of them each time.

Dark, right, it is time, haha!

Aye the concept art is fantastic. And special props to the music at the end of the last episode. Whoever did the music for the series is a genius.

Mandalorian $$$$ SPOILER!!!!!! $$$%%%%%

There was some sci-fi mag, Starburst I think, that had a series review section whose pages could only be accessed by ripping off a perforated section. That's proper spoiler etiquette. Having watched the finale tonight, as far as spoilers go, you can't get much spoilier than that one there!  :laugh:  :abbath: :abbath:

Hey Ollkiller, I've started Dark, a'ight, now get off my case!  :P Great vibe to it just from the first episode anyway. I'm sure it's going to evolve all over the gaff across four seasons, but it's interestingly evocative of both Dublin Murders and True Detective S3 in its starting point.

True it might start off like them but trust me, it ain't  like them (style wise and that's it way better than those 2 shows). By episode 3 or 4 it really takes off. Only 3 seasons of it. Season 1 and 2 are stellar. IMO season 3 dips a small bit but is pulled back to brilliance by a fantastic ending.
