    My favorite part of Stranger Things was when Matthew Modine had to sit down with Eleven and explain to her why he’d be carrying a watch up his ass for 7 years.

    I’ve heard in the latest season the kids finally qualify for social security but now they’re being hunted down by rogue agents at the AARP who are jeopardizing their ability to live on a fixed income.

    It completely baffles me they didn’t just skip ahead a few years last season. The noticeable difference between the ages of the actors and the ages of their characters made it hard to take it seriously

    ok, it is SHOCKING how much Maria de Medeiros looks like Mike Wheeler in those frames. I had to just go and double check that was an unaltered frame, it was from around 1:51:25 in my copy of pulp fiction.

    I’ve only seen season 1. This thread is making me think I should abandon it now. But maybe I should continue for the unintentional comedy.

      The later seasons weren’t bad necessarily, but you could honestly stop after season 1 and rest confident that you didn’t miss out on anything important to the cultural zeitgeist.

      I remember season 1. I don’t remember the other seasons.

        True. I enjoyed season 1. Quit the show after season 2 because I found it so awful and lame. I can only imagine what the later seasons were like, lol.

      Season 2 is kind of season 1 again, it’s pretty decent. I personally liked season 3 the best.

      4 was OK but I don’t recall enjoying it that much, felt a little shark jumpy at parts

        Thanks. Maybe I will try to continue watching. How do you mean sharing jumpy?

          Sorry, that was a typo, “shark jumpy”. It jumps the shark quite a bit.

          I wouldn’t personally say the show is must watch. But it is pretty decent soft horror, retro, sci-fi, mystery, adventure entertainment.

          I guess my time is a lot more constrained these days and my list of shows to watch, movies to see, and games up play grows faster than it’s consumed. So I really have to prioritise

    Eleven’s transition was beautiful and more shows should explore how friend groups can support trans comrades
