MobLand S2 has been kind of a letdown so far.. Coming off such a strong first season, I was expecting more of the swagger, sharp dialogue and twists that made it such a fun watch. Instead, I feel it’s taken a while to find its feet – a little laboured and overly reliant on gratuitous violence, industrial-strength swearing and familiar clichés. Almost like a parody of itself.Having The Gentlemen's second season fresh in the memory (which I thought was an absolute ripper) hasn't helped matters. By comparison, MobLand S2 just feels slightly lacklustre.Thankfully, things are starting to pick up, and the double-crosses are starting to reveal themselves. I'm not writing it off just yet. With the finale still to come, I'm hoping Mr Ritchie can pull a rabbit out of the hat and rescue what has been a bit of an underwhelming season.

B.H. Magazine Volume 8 has been sent to the printers, which we got a peek at yesterday! It’s been the culmination of the team’s past 5 months, and includes everything we think you should know about vintage watches, McLarens, Sydney rock oysters, summer style, winter chalets, and much, much more. Pre-order via the link below.

Sydney's most iconic bar is getting a serious makeover, and I’m starting to realise where they’ve been putting all my late-night dollars all these years (from memory, pints are around $18).Reopening this Friday, the harbourside institution has been reworked by Luchetti Krelle, with Applejack Hospitality bringing an entirely new food and drinks offering: a NSW-focused wine and beer list and some rather fun Australian-inspired cocktails. See you opening night.
