Watched all episodes of Mindhunter. An excruciatingly slow series, that lives of its supposed real life details and it does stay true to the book in many areas. However, Ann Burgess, who is very much heterosexual with a husband and children and a nursing academic, was turned into a lesbian. You see this a lot now of course, we had South Park's Token, but now it's lesbians and gays that apparently have to be included in many series. Anyway, despite this peculiar violation of its real life credentials I stayed with Mindhunter, but wish I hadn't. A slow and bleak  series, avoid.

 

Now watching Cobra Kai, which is unbelievably stupid and poorly written. I should have learned my lesson when Will Smith's kid ruined one of the greatest films of the 80s, but could not resist a sequel to Karate Kid. It's really awful unfortunately.

 

You have been warned.

I thought both series of Mindhunter were superb.

 

With an IMDB rating of 8.6, seems I'm not the only one who rated it.

No, it's a widely held view, 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, like Cobra Kai has 94% on RT as well.

 

Then again Take That and BTS are super popular.

 

Personally I found Mindhunter excruciatingly slow. And Cobra Kai's writing almost embarassing.

 

What a difference to quality series like Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Dexter or GOT.

The Sounds

 

New Kiwi series just started.

 

Summary: Maggie and Tom Cabbott move to the town of Pelorus to escape the oppressive influence of Tom's family.

But when he disappears, unsettling facts about Tom soon come to light and the search brings long-buried wounds to the surface.

Cobra Kai is not my thing so I haven't seen it.

Same as GOT and Walking Dead.

 

Enjoyed Dexter and BB.

 

Each to their own I guess.

Definitely one of the better ones. Have recommended it before but no one seemed to pick up on it.

Need to be careful when downloading as there is also a UK series of the same name from a couple of years ago

Raised by wolves.

Sadly another woke PoS ......... multicultural children and strong female androids with magical abilities.

The male android being portrayed as a bit weak & stupid, because as everyone knows, men are weak & stupid.

Watched all three episodes, it didn't get any better, just sillier.

Directed by Ridley Scott with a 8.7 review rating, can't be that bad, but I haven't watched it yet.
