So good.
Is stranger things the dork fest the thumb-nails make it look like?
yeah
I'll watch a show about nerds or geeks but not dorks, I don't do dorks.

We watched that while on vacation.
It was good, but I think they went overboard on the clever kid thing, especially Lucas' sister. Super sassy and all too smart.
What I really liked about the series early on is they hit the right mark on the kids.
It was as if a "real" world was beset with the type of weirdness of an 80's movie, but without the super-smart sassy Spielberg kids.
Also they over did the dorky uniform for the ice cream shop. There were occasional dumb uniforms, but none any bit close to that stupid.
And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained him to a tree and the children did make sport of him.
The Year Of The Rabbit. Channel 4 (U.K.)
I'm a Matt Berry fan so this is essential viewing. London cop in Victorian era cleaning up the streets. Odd, but not bad. It's no Toast Of London, but amusing anyway.

Pyke notte thy nostrellys
just finished the romanovs on netflix
i always enjoyed the blending of documentary and dramatization, and they did this well ... although they kind of repeated the old habit of blaming rasputin or everything
also: unexpected nudity!

So I was watching Van Helsing and she's in the woods with her kid, and the cries of the vampires in the distance sounded just like Star Wars' Tie Fighters. That's it's all.
If you want to check it out, Season 2, Ep 2, 13:57 minutes.
Warning, you'll never be able to "unhear it".
I expected to hear blasters after that sound, and when the bad guys showed up, I expected lightsabers.
I guess I'm a Star Wars geek.

I once got tied in restraints at Stanford hospital after a bad Star Wars trip. I seriously thought I was Luke Skywalker.

I'm in season 2. I'm liking it less than season 1.
It's good, but cheesy at times. The humor is getting a little predictable. Maybe I shouldn't be binge watching it.

Yeah season 1 was the best. Season 2 does stretch things a bit but has a good ending. The thing is the ending can be interpreted as either a cliffhanger or a tidy finish, season 3's first episode treated it as a cliffhanger but then a had a terrible transition that I wasn't able to get through so i've stopped watching it.

No, I eventually realized that when push comes to shove, I'd totally fall for the Dark Side. I'm just another Anakin.

Watched the first two episodes of the new Twilight Zone
Turns out funny guy Jordan Peele can also be a creepy/scary guy. No, I haven't seen his scary movies. I will! I promise! I really want to.

Netflix has done a great job discouraging me from watching Stranger things, first it was the very not attractive thumbs and short previews and then for the last week every time I finish a movie up pops a promotion for Stranger Things. Every Single Time all stick fiddling week.

I have Prime and watch stuff on there occasionally but I am really put off by the stick fiddling terrible UI they have. They need to dump the store paradigm they have where every season is a separate "product" and be more like Netflix where you can seamlessly binge across seasons.
It is frustrating to get to the end of a season and have to search for the next one. And then, when you finally do the search you are presented with the shows seasons in random order instead of consecutively, just for the fiddlesticks of it I guess.
You see this same crap in their Fire Tablets where they clearly did the bare minimum UI and work and called it a day.

The Xbox app does let me switch seasons from within a season, but it is admittedly weird and clunky. It's fine int eh browser though
