Mr. Inbetween: this is a great show that went under the radar. Dark, gritty Australian drama about a hitman/debt collector/fixer. Violent with some great and very, very funny dialogue.

Mayor of Kingstown: thought it was gonna be a run of the mill police procedural but it's much better than that.

Cobra Kai: still good but think they should call a halt to it after next season.

I've probably said it before but I don't know how folk have managed to persevere with Cobra Kai. It started off really well and managed to run out of steam by Season 3. Apart from descending into a run-of-the-mill teen drama, the fight sequences are like something out of Power Rangers. Daft stuff altogether.

I managed one episode. Shite.

Even though I had had headphones on watching Cobra Kai my wife asked me if I was watching some sort of karate home and away.
I had to eagle fang the head off her.
It’s terrible shite but I can’t stop watching it.

I feel the same, I know it isn't brilliant, but has a charm too it all the same

Ya, that's the way I'd look at it too. They're kinda dragging it out now though.

2 episodes of Boba Fett out. 2nd episode has a killer last 20 minutes.

Really enjoying Boba Fett I have to say. I think John Favreau is really doing Star Wars justice. He should have done some of the movies too, still really strong series so far. The Mandalorian was A1

Aye John Favreau is making the best Stars Wars content since the first 3 films. The new films were terrible except for Rogue One which was class. Loving Boba Fett so far. And they're filming Mandalorian season 3 now as well. Disney should just throw all the money at him.

New Toast out. Toast has gone to the US. Only watched 2 episodes so far but as enjoyable as ever. Stacked with cameos.

Michael Keaton, Kate Winslet, and Jeremy Strong all took home very much deserved Golden Globes last night.

I'd never heard of that til I was browsing yesterday and the Tinseltown one popped up. Watched the first 2 eps of the London series. Very much Matt Berry doing Matt Berry, which is fine with me. I see Larry David is in a coupla eps of the new series. Looking forward to seeing that.

Watched "Superstore" on Netflix over Christmas. In the vein of "The Office" and "Parks & Recreation" - not as great as either of those at their peak - but after an average first season, it gets really good.

Watched the Landscapers the other night, pretty decent and only four episodes so doesn't drag too much. Olivia Colman is brilliant in it

She was brilliant alright (she always is) but it wasn't great overall IMO. Very irritating format, slipping in and out of reality, and the characters moving from one set to another was just jarring.
