Anybody watching STRANGER THINGS on Netflix? I'm about halfway through Season 1, and it's blowing me away more and more with every episode. What a wonderful love letter to '80s coming-of-age sci-fi/horror. This is the kind of show that inspires me to write as soon as I finish watching an episode . . . but then I can't, because I immediately have to watch another. I can't remember the last time I watched a show that kept me thinking the child actors playing the main characters don't feel like they're acting at all. Such naturals, some of the best I have ever seen. |

I'm probably going to start watching Stranger Things later, been watching Rose Red over the last 3 nights, and while it was good, it was also problematic, the main problem being some horrible over-acting from the lead actress and the 2nd biggest problem being that Stephen King is pretty bad at writing endings, they're always quite rushed when it comes to the conclusion.

Yes, 4.5hrs for the mini-series, it took the first episode for them to even enter the haunted house and then it was all wrapped up in 10 minutes from the end and an unnecessary coda '6 months later'. That's SK for you though, the Master of Horror

The finale of season 2 of Black Sails was tremendous. The attack on Charles Town, South Carolina, was worthy of the big screen as Captain Vane lay waste to the port, all canons blazing in order to save his greatest rival and enemy, Captain Flint, from execution at the hands of the British. Black Sails really came into it's own this series. Any ideas it was Game of Thrones lite were swiftly put to the sword as characters came to the fore and their motivations became apparent. Standard stereotypes were dispensed with and it's clear the producers have a long game to play out. I just hope it's a very long game. Last edited by Demdike@Cult Labs; 19th July 2016 at 11:47 AM. |

After Stranger Things and Twin Peaks I'll have to give Black Sails another go, i picked up season 1 ages ago but only managed 2 episodes. Seemed really slow. |

It does really pick up the pace in the second half of series one though. |

Just slow. Not necessarily in comparison to anything. Part of the problem (with any tv show for me) is if Mrs H doesn't like it it takes a hell of a lot longer to get through. And she didn't take to Black Sails at all.
