British reality tv shows. "Rich house, Poor house", "Can't pay, we'll take it away", "Nightmare tenants, slum landlords"...there are insanely addicting for some reason. Although "Rich house, poor house" was a bit of a bummer..the families don't even meet at the end and the rich families just go on about how they have more empathy for the poor families while the poor familes just look like crap at the end because they have to go back to their situation. Money doesn't buy everything, but it buys alot of security...For some reason, I am always hoping that the two families will meet and the rich family will offer the poor family a job.

Youtube Original Series: Cobra Kai

Set in the present day with Ralph Macchio and William Zabka stepping back into their Karate Kid roles as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence. What a ****ing hoot. Daniel now owns a successful chain of luxury auto dealerships while Johnny has never recovered from his humiliating loss 34 years ago.

Easy to see where this is going to end up but so far it's very well made with a interesting story out of the gate and lots of funny inside jokes from the original movie.

This is fun.

You seen "Wife Swap"? Not as sexy as it sounds, but a damn good program. Also "Undercover Boss", though that can get a little boring. Love the one where the boss got fired by the big boss for basically being a tool with the girls whom he thought he could treat like ****. Little did he know the owner was undercover in his restaurant and ...

Watching Occupied, Norwegian drama about Russia basically invading Norway. Some world class terrible acting in it - in one scene, the mother whose child has been kidnapped can't even emote, just looks sulky - but a very compelling storyline: Norway, wishing to do away with fossil fuels, angers the rest of Europe, the Russians step in to "guide" them, and before you know it, hey ho, they're an occupied country. Damn good stuff, if you ignore the attempts at acting.
