Stranger Things

Some years ago we took out a Netflix subscription. At the time, this was largely motivated by "Star Trek: Discovery", which was on its second season at the time. (I'd purchased the first season on blu-ray, making it probably the last TV series I purchased.) However, there were then several other things we took the opportunity to watch: "Lost in Space", "Cobra Kai"...

And "Stranger Things".

"Stranger Things" came to its end at New Years, with LC and I watching the finale in the evening of the first. And it's fine - in my opinion it's not one of the all-time classic finales, but neither is it a total disaster like some others I could mention ("Game of Thrones", "How I Met Your Mother"...).

That said, I'm afraid to say that the final season wasn't really worth the wait - over the years since it started "Stranger Things" went from a must-watch show to being something that was just there. We were always going to watch the final season to see how it ended, and indeed watched it right away... but partly because we were already between shows.

And that's more or less that. Our new show is the "Doctor Who" spin-off "The War Between the Land and the Sea" - more on that once we're done.
