stranger things, castlevania are one of the few shows that survive past 2-3 seasons. but its problematic that its only 8 episodes per show, and 1-2 years in between seasons.

UPdate: its problematic because studios are using 6-8 episodes to avoid paying its actors, or the show more money, while the studio/stream earns it from it. also the time in between seasons, is enough for people to get bored of the show, like more than 2 or more years.

    In all fairness, there was not much else to watch.

    EDIT: obviously there was a lot one could watch, but nothing new, especially on UK terrestrial TV, and even the streaming providers didn't have a lot going on. There were exceptions of course but the general consensus in pubs was that the telly was crap. We didn't even get Kelly's Heroes or The Great Escape this year...

    There are piles and piles of older TV shows and movies, so much media you could never consume it all in a lifetime

    its probably because they aged soo much, and not children anymore. too old for the show and writing kinda sucks. its like if they suddenly want to bring back a show that was left on cliffhanger, like sgu, the actors aged 15years and it would be quite distracting.

    Interesting, everyone I've heard talk about it who has seen it says it was god awful and an insult to the original premise.

    People never cease to amaze me how they'll happy absorb whatever corporations give to them

    People have just been ready to hate on it. Some of the dialogues are a little cringe, but the story and cinematography makes it worth it anyway.

    If you want great TV - watch Pluribus. If you want some easy entertainment - watch Stranger Things.

    This is the Television community, it's literally all corporate schlop we are happily absorbing. Just like anything else that transcends into monoculture, people will hate on Stranger Things to make themselves feel superior to everyone else.

    Sure maybe the forumula is played out and it's not as good as it used to be but it's at least a decent watch, and people want to see how the story ends. It's not "god awful".
