Has anyone mentioned “Cobra Kai” yet? Brilliant series full of nostalgia if you are a child of the 80’s and enjoyed Karate Kid.
I was always going to love it, but I’m still blown away by how well written it is. The guys behind it have a sincere love for the original movies, and William Zabka (Johnny) has been a driving force too.
I’ll pretty much watch anything so I’m not a great critic but... Loved Ozark and Cobra Kai (really fun). Currently going through the Last Chance U series about junior college football in the states. Looking forward to Stranger Things returning.

First school was good Second school hated the coach
Third school had a nice guy as coach and was good too.
Ah man, can’t believe I missed the @Sarrf_London meltdown back at the end of March, could have been some valuable peak lockdown entertainment to keep me going once I’d got through Tiger King.

If you like Last Chance U I think you'd like QB1. Follows the best QBs at high school level.

Sounds like you guys might both enjoy a YouTube series about amateur football!
Surprised no one has mentioned Queen of the South (not the Scottish football team) I’ve binged it during my isolation and am now starting ozark.
The first season of Ozark is painfully slow until the brilliant last episode. The second season is much better.
Yes too slow for me. I gave up after a few episodes...
Keep going, it really is worth it!
The Wire and Breaking Bad are both slow starters but are both amazing. To get real depth you kinda need a slow start.
Breaking Bad is not a slow starter. It hooked me in from the pilot episode.
Has no one made a shout for White Lines yet? It's not really a slow starter either but it does get better and better. The music and general feel for the time it's set in is great -similar to Stranger Things in that respect although that's the only similarity. I'm not a fan of crime solving type things but White Lines has a whole lot more going for it than just the main plot.

Saarf London Meltdown is being made into a Netflix series actually. Sorry I didn't mention it before.

The question is will anyone put it in their top 10
Because remember you cant mention just single programme's you have to do a full top 10 list

Funny how people can see the same thing so differently
I watched all of white lines and loved the idea of it but was pretty disappointed.

Look, if you can’t give a list of your top 10 or 20 meltdowns then don’t bother. There’s hundreds of meltdowns on other threads, I can’t be arsed to trawl through all of them. I just want everyone to do exactly as I say, following some very specific and slightly unnecessary conditions. Are you thick or something?

Agree on Breaking Bad, has me hooked. I guess in hindsight Season 1 isn’t a patch on 2,3 or 4, but still great television.
Can’t agree on White Lines though, thought it was garbage. Quite like Daniel Mays’ work but having that and Code 404 in the same year was bad luck for him.
It’s the aesthetic both visually and musically of Stranger Things that sets it apart, the look is fantastically on point, but the music choices are exceptional and make it work. Playing Elegia from New Order at the funeral was a masterpiece
Watched the last episode last night, would love to know what you think when you've finished @hawksmoor
My Mrs watches these series on Netflix and I either watch too, or when I fancy it, but this was one that I watched every episode of.
Also got Designated Survivor on the go. Started off okay, but is a bit repetitive.
Apart from the odd couple, Ozark being one, I generally find these Netflix originals are not very well made and the acting leaves a lot to be desired. Anyone else think the same?
I found The Stranger very good. Was like watching a BBC drama.
I think I’ve mentioned this on a different thread, but I thought The Stranger was ludicrous.
So many unbelievable things happening to the same people at the same time. Made more annoying by the fact it draws you in because you’re wondering who did this, who did that. Then all is revealed at the end and you realize the writer didn’t know what to do with it all and decided to make half the events irrelevant to the plot. Idiotic writing.
My (now thankfully distant) memories of Stranger Things was a random killing of a restaurant owner by men in black official forces for no reason, a science teacher as clichéd as you could get. A rather predictable bunch of school kids reinforcing the notion that only misfits and nerds like science, and worst of all this totally rubbish concept of the 'upside down', which I took to be an unregulated licence to introduce anything when the story ideas evaporated.
'What shall we have next?' 'Dunno' 'OK. we'll have an intelligent spider, a speaking tree, and wet water that's dry, and if anybody asks, shrug and say it's the upside down innit'. 'Can we have living wallpaper too?' 'Yeah why not, it's the upside down innit. See you round eleven?' 'Sure'.
It was neither fish nor fowl, neither science fiction nor fantasy. If series two or three or four resolved matters then fine. But if you're invited to believe in a fiction, there has to be something worth believing in.

The theme tune itself is epic.
Finding out the other week that Lily Allen got married to David Harbour blew my mind at its randomness.

Thought it was a pile of chite.

Heard it had very Stranger Things vibes (a few years earlier).
