Kyyle23 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 18, 2016 -> 01:10 AM) So here is why stranger things is so awesome. It's an 80's horror movie but 8 hours long. Netflix allows them to really draw out the story one of the many reasons why it is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an 80's horror movie but 8 hours long. Netflix allows them to really draw out the story I really enjoyed it. Probably my favorite show of the year thus far. My only small gripe is that I feel the last 2 episodes were rushed. They had such a good, slow build over the first 6 episodes, and then it all concluded very quickly.

I kind of liked how it felt rushed as it heightened the anxiety. Overall I love the TV/streaming model of taking a movie concept and developing it over a season.

bmags Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 22, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) I sort of know what you're saying, but I feel like they had to walk a very fine line. You start getting into 10 episode territory, things may start to drag. It's a tough thing to figure out what that perfect amount is. The show really felt like a long movie, so I think the length was probably right. I actually thought the pacing was the most amazing part of the show. At some point the kids hiding a girl in their basement when bad people with everything at their disposal know about it, you can't string that along. We were introduced to everything at a perfect pace, once you know all of it, you gotta get it done. The scene where they find him and he's flashing back to his daughter, that was just excellent. Topped the "please don't tell me that's the kid" scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 My wife and I just finished the second season of Bloodline the other night. Not sure what they are planning for season 3 but I'm looking forward to it. There were a few things that bothered me. It seems rather unrealistic that the farmer guy had surveillance footage from 6 months ago. These are cameras that run 24/7. That is an absolute massive amount of data. I doubt most business go back more than a few weeks. Maybe a month max. Not 6 months. Why in the world did Meg leave Kevin at Marco's house? She drove him there because he can't drive. No truck, no license. So she just left him there and went to talk to their mom? Kevin is way too impulsive. There's no way he doesn't get caught for murdering Marco. They can narrow down the time frame to 20 mins considering he was on the phone with Eric literally seconds before and said he'd be there in 20 mins. I've always thought that he'd be the one to spill the beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 So I really enjoy Halt and Catch Fire. I never watched season 1 but season 2 and start of 3 is an enjoyable show with good characters. It has next to no viewers but they are able to do it cheaply enough in atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just scarred. Agreed. The style of switching stories each year doesn't seem to work well ala AHS and even an all star cast couldn't save True Detective 2. If Stranger Things get stale they could always flash forward 10-20 years between seasons, load up with new actors playing the same characters and have it come together in the 90's or 2000's. But for now I am definitely interested in a season 2 shortly after where season 1 left off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 They already have all 9 episodes written and titled, so it seems to me they arent flying by the seat of their pants going forward, and they know where its going already. At least it isnt like LOST where the writers were like "well, where do we go now?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
