Great fun, binged season 3 within 3 days of its release.

Heard good things about Dark which is apparently in a similar vein but remains on my watchlist...

Season 3 of Stranger Things the best one yet? No fudging way! Whoever says so must be high. It's fudging brick compared to season 1 and 2. Weak, weak, weak.

Dark is... A lot darker, seemed like it was going to be a scandi type thriller but then has a twist. Very straight, little comedy or nostalgia.

Was about to say it is darker (There's no jokes about 'New Coke' or any light heartedness in Dark) but I actually prefer it to Stranger Things just because it's a bit more complex. The time travel aspect and just trying to keep up with who's who makes it feel a bit more satisfying.

Only 1 more season of both shows I believe.

I thought stranger things is going to be 5?

I didn't mention the twist in dark just incase people were not aware of it... I wasn't so when it happened was completely blown away.... Then again I watched 3 episodes of bloodline before I realised it wasn't about vampires.
 
Finished s3 of Stranger things just now. It's obviously not terrible, but I thought it was very weak compared to season 1 and 2. No real suspense, thin as fudge story, too many pointless goofy moments (some are charming, but it was a bit of an overkill, imo) and pretty much just a watered down remake of season 2, it seemed.

Nothing on here on the recently dropped trailer of the upcoming Picard series?! Stop pretending to not be massive nerds you bastards

Different vibe to what I was expecting.

As for stranger things 3, I don't want to put my thoughts in to the mix without a brief guide on how to do that spoiler thing (please!!).

Frakes has confirmed he’s appearing too! Make it so number one.

I agree. It feels like they did a survey of all the things people liked about the first two seasons and just shoved it all in there again. So many cute references and a load of product placement and not enough twists or clever plot. Saying that, It is what it is and I still enjoyed it.

Watchable though, its always hard with these things, not sure what you can do with it or how far you can take it. Felt abit cut and paste I agree though

Yeah, it's still watchable, and I guess it was bound to happen after that excellent first season - that one was a stroke of genius, in my opinion. Hard to follow up that, obviously.

Apparently it was supposed to be just one season with 11 dying at the end but like all TV, once it was successful they had to come up with new stories for future seasons. They have maintained a decent standard though compared to other shows that tail off badly
