it turns out that i have kept very poor track of what i've watched in previous years, so i'm gonna try and post here more often about things! i finished rewatching stranger things season 2 today.

and man... what a horribly uneven show!!! the writing is frequently bad on a plot/coherency/pacing level, they love to do things that make me go 'wait sorry i'm supposed to think WHAT about WHO doing WHAT NOW????', and i feel like it's one of the most thematically messy shows i've ever seen. AND ALSO i'm obsessed with all the characters, there are so many fascinating and fun and real feeling character interactions, and it is a show that knows how to give a climactic and EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL moment on cue at the BEST times.

what a mess <3

tbh i'm very excited to get to s3. i know it is Critically Disliked but i love it. if it gave me nothing else i would still love it for max and el.

i'm also still thinking about how i watched s4 and was like, man the metallica moment is so objectively Nonsense and yet also bc it is in this context it WORKS SO FUCKING WELL. thats what i mean about a climactic moment.
