Anyone else watching these?

Champion is not normally something I might watch and deals with a culture, music and generation I don't have contact with (those few of West Indian heritage I do know are oddly of the older generation 😁) but am quite enjoying this tale of sibling rivalry. Have only seen the first 3 episodes so far but worth a look. Writer Candy Carty-Williams rightly scored success with her debut novel "Queenie".

Citadel on prime is totally different. Totally over the top action spy thriller which merges elements of Bond, Bourne and Mission Impossible and Amazon have obviously invested a lot of money in it (hence all the very annoying marketing add ons). Despite it's silliness, it does have lots of (and not always easily telegraphed) plot twists. Priyanka Chopra Jones and Richard Madden (in a decent audition for the Bond role?) are very watchable leads and it also has the benefit of having Stanley Tucci in it.

Enjoyed Citadel, very OTT but a good watch non the less.
