Just sitting down to watch 2nd episode of Season 3.
Re: Stranger Things
Season 3 was fantastic! Love this show. I’m gonna hate to see it end.

Re: Stranger Things

Re: Stranger Things
Can’t do it.
I pushed myself through season two, then started 3. Not my thing at all.. I think it’s silly...
Also, lots of you recommended Yosemite - I watched two episodes and thought it comically bad. Worst script, acting, storyline, etc.. just terrible
What do I know, though? Lol

Re: Stranger Things
I didn't care for season 2. Haven't finished season 3 yet, but I like it a lot more so far.

Re: Stranger Things
I think I was in the minority with that show. I thought season 1 was overhyped. I really liked season 2. I struggled to get through some of season 3. Winona Ryder might be part of my problem.

Re: Stranger Things
I'm kind of on the fence on Season 3. Didn't hate it, but didn't love it, either. I really love the 80's nostalgia and am probably driving my kids crazy with, "did you see that? That was just like what happened in [1980's movie they've never seen]!"
I just thought the character development this season was pretty thin, but maybe that isn't the point of the series. And the plot is becoming a bit of a rehash.
That said, I think that some of the reviewers who panned it (and there were a few) don't have the frame of reference to understand it. They're either too young to get the references or somehow made it through the 1980's without seeing any movies or television shows.

The singing scene prompted my kid to want to watch that movie.

Re: Stranger Things
Didn’t love or hate Season 3. Same story - different protagonist and older kids. Nothing new to see.

Re: Stranger Things
Anyone who thinks stranger things isn’t a top shelf tv show should make some suggestions. I’d love to watch something better and it seems like I’ve seen everything worth watching.
Re: Stranger Things
Chernobyl was great.

Re: Stranger Things
That’s one I haven’t watched. Someone mentioned “Patriot” or something like that on amazon. Has anyone seen that?
Re: Stranger Things
Watched them over the winter- now on episode 2 of season 3. I take shows slow. I don’t binge at all, I only watch maybe 3-4 tv shows a week. So I’ll drag it out.
But I love this show, it makes me happy.

Re: Stranger Things
In addition to Chernobyl, Season 3 of True Detective was really good. I watch a lot of tv and those are the two standouts that come to mind from the past year or so.
Also worth watching (IMHO) are Succession (season 2 about to start in August), Mindhunter (season 2 starting sometime this year), Mr. Robot, Peaky Blinders, Narcos, Bosch, and Better Call Saul. I liked the first season of Killing Eve (the second season went completely off the rails).
And I still really like Stranger Things. I'm just not sure if they'll ever top their first season.

Re: Stranger Things
Those are some good suggestions. I’ve seen some of them, I couldn’t get into Peaky Blinders because it felt like Sons of Anarchy recast and set in old London, but some of them are new to me.

I thought it was pretty blatant. I even like the dude who plays the lead in that show, but couldn't do it.jtbenson wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:57 amthat is exactly what i said to my wife jpJP Chestnut wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:43 amThose are some good suggestions.

Re: Stranger Things
That makes sense. I watched the first five seasons or so and really liked it. Imagine Peaky Blinders but set in modern day Central California on motorcycles. It's a good premise in either show.JBZ wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 8:54 amI never watched SOA for whatever reason, so I don't have the frame of reference.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 8:36 amI thought it was pretty blatant.
