Fking profound.
Just started watching Kin from RTE.
It’s pretty good so far and I’m trying to imagine which one of the characters @shamrockgooner sounds like.

Not watched that yet. It’s on my list once I get through The Wire. I assume you sound like Rawls.

Sadly the Baltimore accent is dying out along with other similar regional accents. (Think Mare of Easttown.
I wish I sounded like the cast from Kin. So suave.

Absolutely blitzed through Cobra Kai. AMAZING.
Incredible nostalgia, such a throwback to the 80s. The music selection is superb.
It’s not a highly polished, super high budget show. It’s not perfect by any means. But it has so much heart, old fashioned good v bad. And you’re shouting at the TV when things go wrong and fall apart - so addictive because you just want things to work out. You’re constantly rooting for that happy outcome, and you find yourself rooting for all the characters even when they’re doing something wrong. They all have a story.
Then they mix in the old movies in such a measured way - just enough to bring back the memories / feelings but not too much that it takes away from the show’s storyline. The Mr Miyagi bits gave me goosebumps and brought my ass to tears on many occasions.
The sentimentality element lifts this into one of my favourite ever shows. Ending to Season 3 had me jumping off my sofa. Not many shows make you feel such emotion. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve been through the mill watching these 3 seasons.

Started watching Poldark on Disney+
Ok @Castiel I caved in, bought a beanie hat off Amazon and now have Prime free for a month.
Since you recommended the excellent Dragged Across Concrete to me last time, do you have any suggestions?

Shout to Momoa, he’s been killing it in the fantasy Scifi medium for years. I remember seeing him in SG Atlantis!
Just saw finch and all I can think is what’s with AppleTV and this climate disaster porn they’ve been pushing out!?
In fact all the studios have been pushing out content like this
14 peaks: Nothing is impossible
Netflix following Nimsdai Purja on his quest to climb all 14 peaks above 8000m in record-breaking time, the quickest person to do this was previously was Italian legend Reinhold Messner who did it in 7 years, Nimsdai did it in 7 months, this is such a monumental achievement especially when you consider Everest the most famous isn’t even the most dangerous one!!
I’ve followed him on social media for a few years so following his progress via Instagram whilst he was climbing and at the top of some of these places was pretty incredible.

Fucking COWARD just took -£17,000 and then beat the Chaser by a margin of 5.
I’m absolutely fuming.
I hope she gets fired from her job and ostracised from society.

£-17,000?! That’s gotta be the biggest minus offer yet haha. Can just imagine the abuse they are getting on twitter right now
Here’s the context. First guy up gets easily beaten. Second up, the woman gets 7k cash builder, takes high offer of 40k, brings it home. Third person, she gets 7k in cash builder, takes that offer and brings it home. This woman steps up last, 47k in the pot, gets 7k in the cash builder and then gets the three offers:
High - 52k
Mid - 7k
Low - MINUS SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
The two who had already bagged the 47k didn’t look thrilled, but they both explicitly gave her permission to go for the minus offer, so they’re a pair of dickheads too.
If I’m one of them I’m saying to her “if I were you I’d go for 7k and come back”, and that’s it. Not even mentioning that low offer, because I do not condone that kind of behaviour.
