Cobra Kai:
So, um, yeah, I know it's a favourite on the Fern, with many singing it's praises, after all that's the main reason I decided to watch it. But, it's only ok, and it's actually stupid in parts. Note, I'm only referring to S1 as that's as far as I've gone so far.
:::
So, my first issue is the continued contrived situations that have to happen to make Johnny and Daniel continue to oppose each other. I can see what they're trying to do, but they just got silly after a while with a pattern of almost getting along and then something happens again to make them face off.
The character of Robbie suddenly becoming the most important of the teenagers and the "good guy" character. This seemed to just appear out of nowhere. He was given an ok amount of screen time but made little impression and then BAM, all of a sudden he's the character we're supposed to be cheering for? Nope. Also, could they not find an actor with a less punchable face? His stupid side smirk wide eyed look is fucking annoying.
The opposite of that is the complete flipping of all the Cobra Kai kids personalities in time for the final two episodes so they could be "bad". That was as bad as Anakin turning from good guy Jedi to killing all the younglings in half a scene.
Added to that Daniel changes personality every few episodes and Johnny has clearly lived under a rock for 30 years and hasn't seen any technology developments (which is weird considering he can install flat screen TVs).
And lastly, I can't handle Sam's squeaky voice. I know she can't help it but it's the annoying icing on the cake.
:::
Maybe my expectations were just too high due to the hype around this show?
And actually on Cobra Kai... it's fucking dumb, but well done, and fun.
:::
I did find the recurring “suspense” pretty annoying, even by the end of S2. I assume it's going to recur in S3...
Will they reconcile and become friends, or won't they? Or will some big misunderstanding cause them to become bitter enemies again? Place your bets now....

So after seeing some of the stuff here about Behind Her Eyes and carefully avoiding the spoilers I started watching it. I then thought I'd check it out on IMDB. They had this in the goofs section:-
:::
David has a strong Scottish accent but when he swaps bodies with Adele he lose it.
:::
WTF?!

Well you say that but according to the girls in his office he's "a looker". Like me you are probably harbouring a slight grudge as you know he's going to get across two class looking women.

Or the fact that it didnt happen??
:::
There is the 'spritual' swap, but was between Rob & Adele, then Rob (as Adele) & Louise as he was in love with David and this was how he stayed with him.

Dave Chappelle obviously sorted out his thing with Netflix, because his original show is now back up there. Superb.

I hope he hasn’t gone all Eddie Murphy ( ie not funny anyone ) on us

firstly, you will note the word "original" in there, indicating it being from the past
2nd, there are a heap of recent specials up where you can judge for yourself. still absolutely piss funny.

I was way too busy ( fucking round doing other stuff ) to read it that thoroughly.
I will say that it’s very sad that Charlie Murphy, Rick James and Prince are all no longer with us though.

What was his thing with Netflix? I though all his recent stuff has been on Netflix?
Great to have the whole shows available, rather than just the clips that were on YouTube.

yeah it was, but there was something about he wasn't getting paid for the original stuff, which pissed him off because he was doing his stuff through Netflix, so they pulled it.
Watched the Clayton Bigsby episode last night. Fucking crack up

Oh strange I didn’t know anything about this. His stuff has never disappeared from my list.
I’ve shown so many people the Clayton Bigsny clips on YouTube.
I wonder if they have Chris Rocks show from the mid 90s too?

the specials never went down, but the original skit show went up for a couple of weeks, and then was removed. it appears to be back

Ah right, I missed it when it previously came up, which was good so I didn’t get annoyed.

Finished S2 of Loudermilk, excellent series.
Plenty of laugh out loud moments!

Half way through Wandavision this week, I have no idea who these people are but I'm really enjoying it, I'm guessing I need to watch some marvel films?
If so where do I start??? If you are going to tell me I have to watch films in a weird order then forget that because that put me off ever watching the star wars films I promised I'd watch at the beginning of covid19...and still haven't.What I really love is the quality of acting, everything is light hearted one min and then serious so quickly, great actors...
:::
The scene where Vision does something to a coworker and he goes back to normal and then reverses it (sorry trying not to spoil) was just brilliant acting on that guys part.
:::
Edit figured out the spoiler button
This sort of genre really isn't my bag either so I'm majorly impressed so far...
