I definitely had some issues with the finale, but I never really thought of 'Stranger Things' as a brilliant television show. I mean it had some great moments, but for me it was just good entertainment and nostalgia('cuz im old!).

 

My 2 favourite series finales would be 'Six Feet Under' and 'Mad Men'.

Agreed. I watched it all, enjoyed it but doubt I’ll watch it again unlike some of my favourite shows.

Yeah, finished ST yesterday and I really enjoyed the series. I found myself commenting a lot more during the final episode, but I feel the show has established that it's OK that things are outrageous and scarcely/not believable. I think they did a great job tying the knot and I had no issues with the final showdown. It's so classic D&D and I'm happy they focused a lot more on the characters and going back to the very start again.

We started binge watching stranger things in late October/November  and currently on season 5, episode 4.  Have enjoyed it to date and almost done. 

 

We have done the same for shows like The Rookie, Swat and yes Lost (ffs, should have listened to people on that one and not bothered). I find it much easier to navigate/remember story lines when binge watching.

 

Not yet sure what our next show will be but guess the missus and kids have it all mapped out haha

Just watching the finale. Of course, there will always be many questions when a show ends but I think they ties it together for a solid and fitting ending.

 

I think they have left open the story line for Eleven should they ever decide to make a one off movie or another series "Finding el" lol.

 

Can't say I've watched a show that I enjoyed so much  over the course of the last 2 months lol

Just watched the Sly documentary and half way through the Arnold one.

Was so lucky growing up with these as the heroes of mainstream films.

 

Dont realise how talented and amazing they both were in what they did and achieved.

Especially  Sly who directed, produced and wrote the epics.

 

Awesome icons.

Sincle getting netflix last year I've struggled to find any series to watch.  Lots of documentaries that I've enjoyed though.  Recently rewatched 'pretend its a city' with the writer Fran Lebowitz.  I usually end up watching Seinfeld...where are all these great series????

My thoughts exactly, most are sh1t.

Breaking Bad being the stand out. 

Cant actually  beat BBC for their crime and drama series like Kin, LOD etc

Yeah I loved breaking bad when it came out.  Because I'd heard so many people raving about netflix and all these great TV series I thought I'd have a look, but haven't seen anything, the documentaries have saved it, and its pretty cheap.

I was looking through Netflix yesterday for the first time in ages, and I noticed it's mostly foreign TV series. Absolutely chock full of them with the occasional US/UK one thrown in.

Some good foreign series over the years though - The Bridge, Deutschland 1983, Italian Stripping Housewives …..

Have you watched Better Call Saul? That's great, I also enjoyed Ozark, You and Bloodline, all on Netflix, or at least they were, and more recently Untamed and His&Hers.

I was a bit worse for wear on Saturday after a few beers the night before, and in my hungover state i started watching the Inside show by the Sidemen. Not my usual bag and I'm pretty sure its aimed at kids in their early 20s but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I loved Breaking bad, but for some reason  dont want to watch this as I feel it will undermine BB!!

 

You're the voice of reason Debs, convince me pls😁

Honestly I loved Breaking Bad, I've watched it twice, and I think BCS is even better :)

 

I really didn't want it to end and I will watch it again

I prefer Better Call Saul too.

 

I think the high points of Breaking Bad might be better, but overall I'd go with BCS.

 

Rhea Seehorn is fantastic and also so in Pluribus.
