As a result, I never watched this as it was released on a weekly basis: indeed, I only got round to it for completeness sake just before the new series of the (much better, IMO) The Mandalorian started.
I also kept hearing how the critics seemed to love it, but didn't know a single person who had actually made it the whole way through the series.
Now, having watched it, I do have to say I found it a very marmite-like experience: some good episodes (and scenes), but far too drawn out for its own good!
And, yes, I miss the Force powers and lightsabres.

Like, I suspect, most people.
Anyway, it stars that Mexican kid from Cobra Kai as Jaime Reyes who finds himself in possession of a relic of alien technology, that attempts to form a symbiosis with him and bestows powers upon him (in a world which already includes the DC Holy Trinity of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman).
What happens, them, comes across as a mix of Spider-Man and Iron Man (especially), with a hint of Venom, Shazam and Batman also all thrown in for good measure!

Time of Contempt ( Witcher 2)
By Andrzej Sapkowski
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Geralt was always going to stand out, with his white hair and piercing eyes, his cynicism and lack of respect for authority ...but he is far more than just a striking-looking man. He's a witcher; his sorcerous powers, exhanced by elixers and long training, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no orderinary murderer; his targets are the vile fiends and demons that ravage the land. But first appearance ccan often be deceptive; not everything monstrous-looking is a monster ...and even the fairest can have a bite!
Although this one was a decent read I’m finding myself getting bored with these books at a certain point, I just can’t seem to focus and lose interest. Hoped the next one will be better.
