Loki, the God of Mischief, steps out of his brother’s shadow to embark on an adventure that takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.”
Personally I really enjoyed Loki, and from all the spin-offs and stick-ons in the aftermath of the Infinity Saga, this is the only one that is really well done and hits just right.

Epic Arthurian tale based on book trilogy by Bernard Cornwell (The Winter King, Enemy of God, Excalibur). A powerful warrior named Arthur Pendragon existed and ruled his people in the 6th century. Long before Britain was united, the land was a collection of warring factions and tribes. Arthur ruled during a critical time in the shaping of a nation and over centuries became the stuff of legend and myth.
A former warrior, now turned monk, tells the story of how Arthur became the lord of war despite the illegitimacy of his throne.
Im to scared of these now, so many good books have been ruined
I loved the book series by Cornwell. Will be interesting to see how it’s interpreted into a series.
With that in mind I should check out The Last Kingdom since that is also a Cornwell series that has been turned into a TV Series.
The Last Kingdom is excellent. And fairly faithful to the Cornwell stories. All five seasons are on Netflix together with the Seven Kings Must Die movie. Seriously binge worthy for a few weekends. But definitely only during “Adult TV Time”.
The IMDB Parents Guide for Violence/Gore lists it as: Severe - Each season gets progressively more gruesome with the actual acts of violence being seen onscreen more often rather than being quickly cut away. This is very noticeable from especially Season 3 when it moved to Netflix from the BBC.

Four detectives, living in four different eras, find the body of the same murder victim in London’s Whitechapel. They soon come to realise their investigations have them central to a mysterious conspiracy spanning over a 150 years.
This looks interesting.
I started watching One Piece. It is super quirky but also a lot of fun!
What I did not know is that the show was shot in good old R of SA! I had my suspicions during the first episode, then felt stronger during the early credits with van der Merwes, Coetzees and Nkosis on the crew. And then the confirmation came with the SA stamp of cooperation at the very end.
It’s amusing hearing all the “trying hard to hide it” South African accents.

Frasier is off to a different city with new challenges to face, new relationships to forge, and an old dream or two to finally fulfill. Frasier has re-entered the building.
I thought he went over to the dark side.
Seen that a while ago. It’s a brilliant edit, and actually had me convinced that Dark Side Frasier is something I’d definitely have no problem watching.
