    Not a new series as its been on YouTube Premium for a while but if anyone was a fan of the Karate Kid franchise its worth giving Cobra Kai a watch on Netflix

    They've just added the first two seasons with the third coming out next year

    Everyone is in it from the original (apart from Mr Miyagi), whilst it centres around Daniel LaRusso from the original films it covers a lot more around Johnny Lawrence who was the main bully in the first film, basically the two all but swap lives with LaRusso becoming the rich, successful businessman with Lawrence having an unsuccessful life and struggling as they both continue their rivalry

    There are certainly enough flashbacks from the original whilst there are also a good few Easter Eggs

    Just a shame each episode is only 30mins long

    Anyone watching  Lovecraft Country on Sky Atlantic ?

    Pretty gory at times and mad but it's my kind of series.

    I watched the first couple of episodes and quite liked the show but the deep south accents were hard to follow.

    Ted Lasso - not great but Chris Powell does make an appearance on episode 2. Sadly the episode closes to the sound of glad all over.

    I quite like it, Ted is quite endearing, some good lines, however, sorry to say but SCP is very wooden in his fleeting appearance

    I Hate Suzie on Atlantic. 
    Written by and starring Billie Piper.....about a C list celebrity caught up in a tabloid sex pic phone hack scandal. Really enjoying it.

    only watched the first one so far and we had to put subtitles on at one point. there was a lot of mumbling as well as the accents

    Thought I'd give Snowpiercer a go. 
    The first episode is dull and doesn't shout out that this is a show to stick with. I left it over a month before I gave it another go.
    The first half of the season remains slow moving but gradually pulls you in. By the end of the season things really pick up and now I'm hoping it has multiple seasons. Season 2 has already been filmed and will come out next year.

    Series 4/Book 4 of Strike starts Sunday on BBC.

    the previous 3 series (7 episodes in total) are on iplayer
    Binge watched these over the last couple days and really enjoyed it. Thought the 2nd series was the weakest but still good.

    Incredible 4 part documentary on Amazon Prime called ‘The Last Narc’. 

    If you ever wanted to see how corrupt governments are, especially The US in the 80’s, watch that. 

    Some of the personal accounts on there are amazing.

    Late to the party but just started watching The Fall. The opening sequence with Gillian Anderson *ahem* grabbed my attention and good so far after the first 3 episodes

    I've been watching Cobra Kai solid, I absolutely love it. It knows what it is, they absolutely haven't fucked up the original Karate kid and its a perfect balance of nostalgia, humour and the spirit of the films 

    The two leads are great sports, really good soundtrack too

    How are they addressing lovecraft’s vehement and vicious racism? Notorious for his passionate white supremacy

    Unfortunately I found the 2nd series a struggle and the 3rd series is woeful.

    We're on the penultimate episode of 3rd series right now and woeful is an understatement. Entire third series has been a complete waste of time so far.

    Yeah,cobra Kai is pretty good. We're all watching it.

    Me and my eldest have been watching 'The test' on Amazon which follows the Aussie cricket team from Langer's appointment to last summer's ashes.
    Gives you a really good insight and well worth a watch.

    Had to turn Cobra Kai off, the acting was atrocious.

    I think Lucy Prebble did most of the writing. Good series though and many lol moments, I did think a whole episode devoted to Billy Piper’s fantasies whilst playing with herself was a bit of a waste.

    I wasnt for one second expecting acting to take place, I wanted nostalgia, cheese, 80s rock and kicks and got it 

    I was laughing out loud at a lot of the hamminess of the acting and whether intentionally or not it felt in keeping with the original film 

    I couldnt go from the Fall straight into Cibra Kai though I don't think

    I've now watched all of 'The test' and I have to say it is a must watch.

    The reaction in the Aussie dressing room at headingly as Stokes was smacking them all over the place and Leach was cleaning his goggles at the other end is something to behold!

    Certainly the best sports documentary series of recent times and a gripping watch. Just finished watching 'Cheer' a series about cheerleading in the US which is equally watchable and made by the same program makers.

    Cheerleading and American football are certainly not subjects that I thought I would find so gripping.
