Holy shit is Stranger Things a fun love letter to 70's and 80's Spielberg, Cameron, Carpenter, and King. Maybe even Lynch and Cronenburg and Hughes, too. Just watched the first two episodes and I am really enjoying it, although I cannot be sure how much of that is due to the nostalgia overload. It's not nostalgia for my youth, but for the movies and books in pop culture from my youth, if that makes sense. It's really weird but also really good for what it is.

Man everyone is banging on about this, might have to give it a watch. Though I had started on Bojack last night and I think atm I'm 5 episodes in. Sorta had it as vaguely backgroundy TV. Just funny having Gob as a horse mainly :P

 

edit: Oh yeah I cancelled a bunch of subscription services start of this month. I guess I'll watch something else :P

I've been watching Preacher and it's been really good so far. It has that confidence to just get on with things and trust that you can be patient or intrigued enough to wait for a full explanation/clarification further down the line. I've never read the comics so it's all been nice surprises for me.

 

 

My favourite bit so far has been Jesse, Fiore and Deblanc trying to restrain rather than kill the seraphim when Cassidy shows up...

I'm a few weeks behind on that from being away, figured at this point I'll save up n binge it on completion. But yeah that particular opening sequence was pretty damn great. It started to lose me a bit around episode 3 n 4, but certainly picked up with Quincannon "serving god" and eugene going places....

Finished Bojack. Pretty damn good, and very brutal in the third series. I'd think it'd actually be fine if it was to end there. Everyone else has done relatively well for themselves and bojack is rightfully fucked (should be more fucked over than he is though given events he causes..)

 

Onwards to wrap up Preacher and give Stranger Things a shot.
