I watched Enola Holmes with Millie Bobby-Brown as Enola (aka Eleven from Stranger Things) and Henry Cavill as Sherlock (aka Geralt from The Witcher). Forget Mycroft's actor's name. (Edit: Sam Claflin).
Enola lives with their mom (played Helena Bonham-Carter) and the mom takes off for parts unknown and Enola becomes a sleuth like brother Sherlock and sets off to find her.
It was kinda cute, but pretty boring.

Cobra Kai - a little soapy at times, but a lot of fun too. Trips down memory lane, the return of old characters, much humor. Johnny's story is the more enjoyable of the two.
Stranger Things - I decided I should finally see what the hype was about. Absolutely loved the first 2 seasons, I couldn't stop watching, but the 3rd I'm struggling with, just can't get into it at all.
Warrior Nun - Enjoyed the first season, liked the characters and the mystery, and the ass-kicking.
Enola Holmes - a bit dry, but cute and it finished strong. I read one critic complain that she doesn't detect like Sherlock, but I think the point was that they all have their own skills, she's more a code breaker. (oh and sis was very different in the books, different name, and a psychotic killer)
And I tried Locke and Key, as it was one of my favorite comic book series, but I didn't care for the changes they made.

^^^^ I'm starting to watch Cobra Kai. I'm liking it so far. I agree, Johnny is more interesting. Daniel is just boring and his wife is boring and his kids are boring. Not crazy about Johnny's son, either.
BTW: I want those cars! (The ones Miyagi left Daniel).

Finished Season 3 of Cobra Kai. I enjoyed it overall. One thing I think was a bit much was that they made Johnny a little TOO dumb, though it led to some funny moments. The biggest laugh the show got from me was when Johnny pulled out the "Eagle Fang" shirts.

I've mostly been watching Rifftrax and sports lately, but have seen a few good series.
Derry Girls - comedy about teenage girls in Ireland during The Troubles in the 1990's. I had to turn on the closed captioning because of the Irish accents, but this is one of the best shows I've seen in a while. Highly recommend.
Top Boy - British drama about two friends who are drug dealers in London. The first two seasons (4 episodes each) were made by Channel 4 and season 3 (10 episodes) was made by Netflix. Unlike Netflix's horrible attempt, IMO, to revive Arrested Development, season 3 was nearly as good as the first two seasons. I had to rewatch the first two seasons as it's been a few years since I've seen them.
The Tunnel - This is actually on Prime. British detective show about someone who dies in the tunnel between France and England, so detectives from both countries team up to solve it. There's been a few different shows with this kind of storyline. I didn't think it was as good as shows like Line of Duty, Luther, and Broadchurch. The first season was good, but then it kind of goes downhill from there.
Mandalorian - I'm late to the party on this because we just got Disney. My wife is obsessed with baby Yoda (she made it the theme of our Christmas tree!), so that's the only reason we signed up for it. This was a really good show and I'm not a big Star Wars fan (I liked the first 3 movies and that's about it). I would say it's worth signing up with Disney for a month to binge it and then cancelling.

I'm currently watching Jupiter's Legacy. I'm almost finished with the first season. It's pretty good. I like the concept, though a bit more could happen on it, I think, but I'm liking it overall.

I really love Nailed It. It's a baking competition but it's terrible amateur bakers trying to recreate professional desserts and it's really funny. And makes me feel a lot better about my baking skills!

There was a bit of a twist, that I guess I should've seen coming. They haven't addressed yet how other people besides the six and their kids got powers. |

I watched Resident Evil. They needn't have bothered making a series (just four episodes, anyway) because it was a lot of nothing.
(I had heard of it, of course, but I had never played the game or watched any other thing related to it. I'll just assume the game is a lot more interesting).

I'm watching the animated series Arcane. It's not bad, not enough happens though, it's kind of a slow burn. I watched the Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot movie Red Notice. I liked it overall, it had it's funny moments - mostly lines from Reynolds, natch. It had a "twist" that was kind of obvious. I would've liked it better if it had had an ADDED twist that Reynold's character was onto the twist and had a twist of his own. And how are these notorious, wanted criminals traveling and getting from one place to another (and so quickly)? C'mon.  Edit: And when they escaped from that prison: Yeah, sure, they took off in a helicopter, and once it got away from the prison, the entire country of Russia just gave up and no one else could shoot them down. |

I watched the series Elves. Meh. It was okay, nothing to write home about. The baby Elf looked kind of cute. Kind of looked like a coconut monkey.

I've been watching The Great British Baking Show over the last few days. I enjoy it, although most of the stuff they make I wouldn't eat. Plus the contestants for the most part, at least in the collections I've watched so far, are not wearing gloves and are constantly touching their faces and hair while they work on their projects. When I bake, especially cookies that I have to shape into balls during the Great Cookie Baking Orgy (which I have cancelled again this year), I do wear gloves. If nothing else it means I don't have to keep washing my hands every few minutes. And a good chunk of each episode we see the contestants sitting on the floor in front of their ovens watching their stuff bake. They keep opening the oven doors to check on doneness and then wonder why it isn't baking when they keep letting the heat out. Honestly, though, I could not handle the pressure of a competition like that. Most of them are shaking so badly before the time runs out they can hardly get the job done. And I saw one contestant actually throw out his Baked Alaska in frustration and then drag the garbage can up to the judging table. Needless to say, he didn't last long.
