Since everyone was talking about how powerful this last season of Stranger Thing was, we decided to wade back in without having seen the previous two season.
Meh. It felt like a chore to get through. At the end of the day, maybe we were a bit too old to wallow in the nostalgia the Duffer Brothers pedaled. Plus, it felt every two minutes someone had to stop and have a long talk with someone else. So much crying. So much yelling. And all the High Schoolers seemed like they were in their late 20s. Winona's ax needs a good sharpening.
They spent a lot of money on these shows. Lots of big sets. Plenty of expensive effects.
One of the weaknesses was you know who the bad guy is. He's Venkna. There isn't a lot of mystery.
Glad I don't have to go back and watch the other seasons.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
