I don't watch a lot of television but the two series I liked this year were,

Cobra Kai - Karate Kid sequel series that I thought was witty and quite heart-warming. Season 3 is released on New Year's Day.

Mr Robot - it's about a loner computer hacker, although it gets very dark and depressing in places, and it was a bit of a mistake to finish it just as the first lockdown was starting, when I was feeling fairly anxious about what was going on.

I honestly thought Cobra Kai would be ****e, but I loved every minute of it! I found it very nostalgic, and I’m so excited that it’s been brought forward to NYD 😊

Not heard of Mr Robot tbh.. might take a look.

I've lost count of the number of times I've re-watched the first two seasons of Cobra Kai.

Mr Robot was great and had some real unpredictable moments in it

I also like Expanse and Bosch both from Amazon prime

It was curious watching Mr Robot through the lens of 2020 as you could view / accuse it as kind of anti-Chinese in places.

The Expanse is fantastic if Lee likes Sci-Fi anyway.

Warrior - it's sort of like a peaky blinders (another show you should watch) gangster show set in San Francisco not long after the civil war, based around gangland/opium wars between rival Chinese factions and the Irish.

I love Peaky Blinders! The worst thing about this year (apart from all the deaths obvs) was the new series’ of PB and Line of Dury being delayed

It’s so good Nicky! I didn’t think it looked like my kind of thing, but I love it!
I don’t know what age you are, but for those old enough to have loved The Karate Kid films, it’s very nostalgic too
