Cobra Kai (2018)
Crane Kicked it out of the park
Fantastic refreshing show. Feels like a genuine continuation of the movies with Daniel and Johnny both been plucked out of the 80s and dropped into the 21st Century. The writers have not tried to make everything politically correct which really helps to keep it fresh (Unlike Star Wars - The Last Jedi). Johnny has some brilliant one-liners which whilst really offensive add to the comedic value.
Daniel and Johnny have several layers of complexity and clearly are missing something from their lives which will be good to see develop. The new characters also add to the enjoyment. They are total opposites to the school kids in the movies. Within a few episodes you can see these develop as well.
The writers have given fans what they want without giving the story away (Again something which Star Wars - The Last Jedi) couldn't get right.
Living in the UK we don't get YouTube Red but was able to purchase each episode individually. Well worth the extra cost. Can't wait for the next season.
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Brushed over everything that was good in Prometheus
I went to see this movie on the day of release with such high hopes having already really enjoyed Prometheus. I was hoping that this movie would build upon that story line.
Unfortunately, quite quickly it's clear that this movie is just another bog standard alien movie. The story from Prometheus isn't really moved forward at all. In fact even worse than that, it feels like the screenwriters have done everything to try and undo that story.
Michael Fassbender is wasted, they are right to give him the lead but they created such a frustrating story for his characters.
I cannot see how they can release another sequel it is that bad and the direction the story is going in is very worrying. Quite the opposite feeling I had from when I left the cinema after Prometheus.
