    Netflix Netflix Series - Stranger Things 4

    I’m assuming (or hoping?) they’re including Hamilton due to a Terminator-type vibe to S5. Similar to how the Aliens-influenced S2 featured Paul Reiser and S4 included Robert Englund given the Nightmare on Elm St feel.

    We're in the process of slowly watching Breaking Bad right now. Almost up to S4. Great in terms of story, characters, dialogue, etc. But very dark, like you said. Not something I'd watch to cheer me up. ;) Or to even revisit. But also to @jayembee 's point... I was a voracious reader back in my...

    I went to a high school in Australia, so there would certainly be some differences in school culture, but if I had to guess, ST is trying to show what life is like in a US high school during the 80s? Hormones, cliques, etc. Though I would have to say, given the horror content alone, ST is meant...

    Finished all 7 episodes tonight. An excellent season (so far), much better than the meandering season 3 (or at least what I remember of it!). I liked the breathing room the story received, given the longer episode runtimes. Given the investment we have in these characters, it was compelling...
