I'll go first.
I just finished stranger things season 4, i"ll paste my shoutbox comments bellow.
"Well, just finished up watching the latest stranger things, don't know if anyone else is on this, but it's pretty good. I was a little bummed to see that part 2 or season 4 was only 2 episodes(compared to the first part being 7), but that was quickly forgotten when I saw the last 2 where basically movie length. The final episode being one fo the longest single episodes in history at 2 hours 22 minutes. I get why they did what they did. The last 4 hours of this series could not have been broken up much more than the two parts. You really had to sit down and commit, even the final episode couldn't have been split, just about 2 hours of it was entirely on the edge of your seat. They did a hell of a job with it(the brothers). So rare these days to see actual unspoiled talent being let to do their thing without going through all the oversite commities filled with talentless hacks trying to push this or that. Just good writing and a great story meant to just entertain the hell out of you."
"For those that never bothered with this show, I can kind of see why. Something that seemed to initially come of as a coming of age spielberg esque 80's show, it was kind of misrepresented. It did feel that way at first, but then it morphed into something much more John Carpenter or even Cronenberg esque. It's filled with classic trops like. MK Ultra, psycic powers, alternate dimensions, government black ops and horror elements. It's written very well and most importantly tells the story through the eyes of characters you really care about. It is and probably will forever be, the single greatest accomplishment of netflix(and I l'm a huge witcher/henry fan)."
Other than that, I'm also watching The Terminal List, which seems to be pretty good from the first few episodes.
On my plate is a rewatch(possibly the 3rd or 4th) of AMC's Halt and Catch Fire, because talking about it(recommending it) to ETMN has rekindled my love for that show.
So, chime in, let us know what you are watching, you might be surprised who else has gotten into what you are just now watching and might enjoy some discussion.
Not all(pretty close though) media is garbage.
