Woke up and saw this on my Facebook feed. Absolutely devastating and can happen to literally anyone at any time. One of my mom's teacher friends from work years ago was a healthy guy in his 60s and one day playing tennis he just fell over and died from an aneurysm
I started watching "Cobra Kai" on Netflix last night...
... it so obviously designed for my generation - a full-on nostalgia trip for folks who grew up watching the Karate Kid movies (well, the first one anyway), and it is somewhat contrived. But... it is brilliant. It is extremely funny but not in a slapstick way.
Highly recommended, esp. if you are around 45 years old.

I watched the first season on YouTube Red. I enjoyed it for what it was and wanted to watch the second season, but never noticed when it was released. I plan on watching it sometime in the near future.
Watched this today with the niece and nephew. One of my favorites from when I was their age. I forgot how many big name stars were in it, Waylon Jennings, Chevy Chase, John Candy, and a couple others.
Binged the last season of Carmen Sandiego on Netflix. Very well done, very satisfying ending.
I also finished season three of Star Trek: Discovery. A fun show. The battle in the turbolift in the final episode makes no ****** sense, but otherwise it was very well done with a great story and excellent acting.
My best friend will be stopping by my place tomorrow so we can start on WandaVision.
With Covid, 2020 was the year i made my money's worth of Netflix subscription, and watched so many good movies and shows and series that i would not have otherwise...
but surprisingly, i didn't watch as much as i did a few years ago when my first daughter was born...
Anyhow, just tonight,
I watched 2 episodes of the 3rd season of Cobra Kai...
I am hooked, and i dont want it to end.... i can't wait to see what 4th season will be....
Then i just watch Outside the Wire...
currently on #1 spot of most watched... surprisingly good...
EDIT: there are a few spot during the film, i kind of found awkward... the way the rookie reacted on several instances... didn't make sense why he would behave like that...
I may need to watch it a second time to digest it...
On a recommendation from a Spanish friend of mine, I started watching 'The Taco Chronicles' on Netflix last night.
I only watched one episode, on Asada tacos, and boy did it make me want to eat tacos/visit Mexico... it also made me feel bad for having a rubbish dinner when I could have made something like this.

Iv'e been going through an Israeli phase on Netflix. It started with Fauda - a very well made 3 season series about the Israeli undercover anti-terrorism squad. Very exciting, tense, well acted & "balanced" (relatively) view of the Palesianain/Israeli conflict. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes political/action thrillers. I followed this up by watching a couple of other Israeli series, that are decent but not great. Then watched "Unorthodox" about a young woman from the ultra-orthodox community in Brooklyn who makes a bid for freedom - very interesting, if a little far-fetched (it's based on a real story but "dramatically enhanced").
Finally, just finished two seasons of "Shtisel", a brilliant series following the lives of an ultra orthodox Jewish family in Jerusalem. Slow moving, but totally absorbing drama, superbly written & acted. It's one of those series where it becomes impossible to believe the cast is actually "acting" - it seems so real. Seeing the actors in their real life personas is shocking. Highly recommended for those who have the patience to become invested in the storyline.

After years of avoiding it I finally binge watched the first 2 seasons of the Soprano's with the wife! Wow this show is wicked and i'm so annoyed at myself for avoiding it for so long.. but the upside is I still have 4 seasons to go 👍
This show is really good for characters and crazy story lines, Tony and his shrink and uncle junior and Tony's mum make for crazy altercations haha I'm totally hooked Off to watch season 3 👍
