"In Cobra kai the lines are blurred as to whom is the 'face' and the 'heel'. I would expect the next series to tease a union between Daniel-San and Johnny, with them turning face in the series after to defeat the nefarious Kreese."

"I love the fact that, with cobra Kai, they even took the idea of Daniel actually being the bad guy in the karate kid and got grown up Johnny to explain things from his point of view. Tried getting into ozark, and whilst I can appreciate the quality of it and the good acting, not having a single likeable character is really off putting Having said that, I watched 3 series of queen of the south before giving up, so you can’t trust my judgement at all"

"Challenger: The Final Flight on Netflix. Very sensitively done as each of its four episodes switches between the human, technological and bureaucratic stories of the disaster. Amazing to hear how dangerous the shuttle program was known to be by Nasa and its suppliers, while simultaneously being sold to the American public and its civilian recruits as no more risky than a commercial flight. As a mark of respect for those involved the doc goes no further than ""died in the explosion"" as to the fate of the crew, when the reality was likely much more upsetting."

Not so much a Box Set but I've been watching all episodes again of Not Going Out with Lee Mack. All in all pretty funny for a reasonably present day comedy although when the kids come along the laughs get less. Fra better than half the crap you get now though.

The Haunting of Bly Manor was pretty shit. They took a excellent short story by Henry James and stretched it out over 9 episodes. \Hence it's slower than a tortoise in shackles. The Undoing is the business.

"Has anyone watched The Haunting of Bly Manor? I’ve got one episode to go. It’s been universally panned but I like it. If you’re expecting something like Hill House then you will be disappointed, because it isn’t like that at all. I loved episode 5 especially, but it won’t be for everyone."

"Watching Brave New World on Sky. It’s not an easy watch but quite good. Based on the Aldous Huxley novel. In a West Ham link, Alex Bunbury’s daughter is in it (she’s a model turned actress)."
