Absolutely loving Peacemaker. John Cena and the cast all work so well together.

Peacemaker's mannerisms also remind me a bit of Johnny Lawrence in Cobra Kai.

Thursday - Season finale of Peacemaker.

Had almost forgot about this, been ages since s4.

Started watching Ozark, up to episode 6. Holy gooseberry fool is it good.

Peacemaker season 1 finished.

So much better than any of the DC movies (Shazam! And Wonder Woman are both good). Great writing, humour, supporting cast (Vigilante :slol:

).

Quote from a previous episode I've stuck in my head:

A niche request probably; I can't see any downloads (any, anywhere at all) for the 3rd season of My Brilliant Friend which was supposed to have started on HBO on the 28th Feb. Is it 'out there' yet?

I just found out about "Joe vs Carole", basically an adaptation of Tiger King.
How do you even go about making something like that? What could possibly be more absurdly over dramatic than the actual events? :lol:

I & many other members enjoyed it a lot so worth a watch.

Sky Max is apparently what Sky One used to be called.
