20 somethings? They never even saw the 80's!
Yes yes sorry, i mean the fake nostalgia vibe
Not sure i lived the small town US life either so really its utterly irrelevant.
Only the film nods are "universal" to non yanks

That just isn't true at all! BMX, synthpop music, Walkie talkies, CV Radio, Arcade games, D&D, Shopping centers etc. Were all things that I clearly remember coming into my life in that decade.

Holy crap, the girl who plays the character that works in the ice cream parlour sounds just like her mum Uma Thurman. It’s uncanny how close it is.

Then you'll remember it was called CB Radio
Ok that makes sense now.

Keyboard slip...I was typing too fast due to the shock!

Just finished it. I thought the last 2 episodes salvaged an otherwise pretty average season. I didn't like how the group was split into three all season, Dustin is the only one of the original 4 with any story at all behind him now, I felt sad for Steve not getting the girl (again ) and I felt they trying to cover so much, essentially having 3 concurrent stories, that it felt a little thin.
Last couple of episodes really rescued it with some brilliant scenes. Was also gutted Alexi died, was liking him.
They'll bring it back for season 4 but I have a feeling they'll regret it, don't see where it can go without re-running the exact same ground.

Just finished it finally, where the hell was the population of the planet while all this was going on? Did no one notice the biggest fireworks display indoors?
I have so many questions... But it was still pretty epic I guess

The same nap they've been having in the 30 years since to enable a Russian asset to become president. Sometimes reality is a Stranger Thing than fiction.

Just want to add Robin is uma thurmans daughter

With Ethan Hawke, for some reason that blew my mind.

Found this season a little disappointing. Too much shouting and overacting. They are running out of ideas for the stories too, just rehashing. Also the kids are getting a little too old now and are starting to be a little obnoxious. Entertaining enough I guess.
Soldato
I'd disagree with that, tbh. S2 felt a lot like trying to recapture the spirit of S1, and was poorer for it (still great, but definitely the least great of the 3, imo). S3 felt like a bit of a departure, to me, dropping the goonies/stand by me shtick as the kids are getting older. It was the funniest season too.

I felt they tried a little too hard with the humour really, felt a bit forced. Still enjoyed the show though, but was the weakest of the three for me.
He was bugging me as well, is it just me or does he resemble a gangly stick insect? Just about every scene he was in he looked awkward. Suppose he's at "that age" where that's to be expected but it didn't seem to be an issue for the others.
