Narcos is really good.

I got up to episode 6 last night of stranger things, really enjoying it so far.

I thought it was pretty cool, definitely one of the better shows I've seen recently, they left a lot of things extremely vague or unexplained which isn't too bad because it means there's a lot they can do with it but at the same time it sucks because the second season isn't coming out for over a year or something like that.

So I decided to watch it because I was curious and did not want to wallow in paranoia about overarching swaths of attention: indulging in the luxuries of the internet age, y'know?

And I've come to a few points of recognition:

:goodnews:

It's real good. They did a good job.

The writer of the show is obsessed with Steven King. I know this because I have read quite a few of his novels, and the style of the plot is incredibly Kingian. Small town, spooky mysteries, throwbacks to the 'gunslinger' in episode 5 where Jonathan is doing target practice.. there's even a nod to this influence in episode 6 when a passing character goes: "you guys ever ready any Steven King?" Pretty funny, actually. Cool to see how Steven King continues to shape american horror, sci-fi and fantasy culture. The guy is a prince among men.

Also, it's got a lot of interesting stuff about romance relationships between men and women, portrayed through quite a few of the character's personal lives. Dichotomies, foils, it's like a shakespearean play if shakespeare had gotten really stoned and drunk after watching the X-Files and wrote a quiet little knee-jerker in the dead of night.

I recommend it, Sheekle, but only if you're into horror and don't mind things that take a long time to build up, as far as story arcs go.


but the plot device with psychedelics... so silly :lol:

:alien:

Currently watching, on Episode III.  Pretty good soo far, but I doubt it can be on par with the first season.

Watched the first two episodes of the new season. Awesome stuff....wanted to take a time machine back to my youth in the eighties. Honestly this type of film making is only going to grow...Hollywood is in deep shit.

I binged it lol, finished the whole second season.  I wasn't really disappointed because I had lower expectations after the first season.  I just didn't see how they were gonna match the first season.  In my opinion the second was good, but not great like the first.  I still really enjoyed it.

I finished season 2 already :lol:



Once you get sucked in it gets hard to stop watching, but I did tune out a bit during episode 8 and 9 and have to rewatch today. It's not one of those things to put on as background noise though, because they shove a lot of content into those episodes and you'll fall out of the loop fast unless you're giving it the attention it needs. The series took a while for me to get into because of that, but once you're in, you're in.

Shit is definitely binge worthy, no doubt.  I think I need to go back and watch the last couple of episodes as well.  I nodded out and missed some stuff. Woops :drooling:

Unless you mean the "new Hollywood"..... You are wrong.
Their economic model is completely different.

Yea I binge watched it all last night. :lol: Although I do prefer the first season, I did really like this one as well. I don't really want to compare them since the first season was more establishing the characters and the second one was more of their growth from everything that has happened as well as a coming of age as their own persons.

I just binge watched the entire second season in two nights after work. It's fantastic, and in my opinion is wayyyy better then the first season. I am so surprised at how much more developed the story is. All of the characters are so solid that even the unlikeable ones are likeable. I'm not afraid to admit I got a little choked up at one part and shed a tear with the entire group. The CGI is great and the music production is so well done. It's what sends this series over the top. It's really what makes the series more memorable.

I'm not trying to give out any spoilers unless you all want me to rant about some but shout out to the super-hero Bob Newby and Steve was a bad ass all the way.
