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.

Sydney's most iconic baris 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.
If you want to spend your AL doing nothingthen Canggu is the perfect spot for the Aussie traveller, as I found out this week.It was my second time in Bali; my first time in what the expat population calls the ‘Gu’. It’s certainly a home away from home for the 1.6 million Australians that make the short trip to Bali each year. A lot of the hospitality has been imported, so you can wake up and order your favourite oat flat white or head out for fresh pastries and eggs your way. Days are spent at the litany of premium beach clubs that run all the way from Berawa to Seseh, before jumping between the many wine bars, Asian fusion, Mediterranean restaurants, and, of course, warungs and local babi guling spots through the evening.If I’m being honest, it took me some time to be convinced – it’s certainly not the authentic Balinese experience I typically seek out. But for a week of doing nothing, you could certainly see why Aussies are still flocking to Canggu in 2026.
