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.
It was a one-trick pony.
"Get it? It's 80's!" can only last about one season before you start to get tired of the decade.
I did like some moments in the later seasons, I wouldn't say they're awful but completely forgettable. They just kept trying to tell the same story over and over.
Sounds like I didn't miss out.
They should have done the Mike Flanagan thing and have a new story, new characters, new scenario that relates to the 80s nostalgia theme and built on that. They could have done something really awesome with old 80s nostalgia and bended the genre like Flanagan did with old horror classics.
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
Was that the one with Samwise the Gray?
Let me put it like this, I know I've seen more than one season, but how many and I don't plan on watching anymore
Max 3. Tap out.
