Stranger Things (Netflix)

[adam cool dude]

Just finished Ep7. Really enjoyed it, but I can understand why some might think it's a little lazily written, for example, how (or more importantly why) does the music actually save Max? They were given the idea because 001 turned it on when he was killing his family? It feels lazy like they just needed a way the friends could save Max 'Oh, this will do'. I kinda feel like this is a modern-day, dark Scooby Do

It was obvious as the music connected the mind with the real world and showed a way out back to reality. They figured this out when they visited Victor Creel in prison. It was a pure fluke that the music was turned on initially but shows a weakness to 001 powers. I actually thought they were going to kill Max off so for me at least it was a twist.

Finished the 7th last night, absolutely loved it.

They should have killed her off, would have set a way serious tone.

Loving it so far, ryders acting is a bit strange at times and the cgi on younger el was a bit weird. Overall, fantastic.

Just finished watching and, while not a patch on the first season (which is up among my all time favourites) it's very enjoyable in it's own right.

Nothing is ever as good as the first season

Terminator 2 and Aliens would disagree. Movies yes but is still valid. Breaking Bad would also be another one.

That scene reminded me so much of Bruce Willis in Armageddon when he detonates the nuke. I really thought it was going to happen .

There are loads of shows where the first season isn't the best :/

Very often that's the case with TV shows, but there are a good number of exceptions.

 

[Darujhistan]

In my experience, shows/movie franchises USUALLY get progressively worse over time, not better, always exceptions to the rule though. Saame with bands and their albums.

 

[arknor]

loads of shows got better over time, but most modern shows are just cash cows to milk

I personally think you're just watching the wrong shows then... TV has generally got a lot better in the last 5 to 10 years IMO.

Grading the quality of TV is a generational thing...
I can see why 20 somethings would love this show but for me I watching having to make allowances for the script as it just isn't written for me but I still choose to watch it.

Just finished Volume 1.

I’ve always been weary of starting the next season of this show because I’m scared it will never live up to the previous efforts.

And yet here I am absolutely buzzing. What a season this has been. Just can’t get enough of these characters and the overall arc of what’s being told. Fists pumping, on the edge of my seat to full on standing up in awe were just some of the things I did during those 7 episodes.

And the way they tied it all in at the end was just sensational (although some might say predictable).

Can’t wait for the next Volume and those last two jumbo episodes.

 

[beachBOYken]

2 episodes in, already hooked. For being scarier and darker it's really gone up a level.

Starts deteriorating, season 3 being worse imo. 4 is better than 2 and 3 imo.

He's talking about part 1 of season 4 I believe.

Watched the first part. Thought it was excellent throughout although i do think the directors are a little scared to make some big calls. Look forward to July.
