I think Stranger Things 3 is probably the best season yet. But this is really only because they have more money now to lean into the style they’ve been going for all along. Each season is basically the same setup, but the characters (old and new) are always so good that it doesn’t really matter.

Two clichés make us laugh. A hundred cliches move us. For we sense dimly that the clichés are talking among themselves, and celebrating a reunion.
It's very good and I'm excited for S2 starting up soonI started Lodge 49 based on cryptic word of mouth praise. Just watched the first episode so far, so it’s impossible to really say much about how I feel. It’s okay, not really incredible yet. But I’ve read it’s a very rewarding show once you make it through the season. Curious to see why and how.
OMG this is our eternal struggle. We always watch an hour-long drama and afterwards we need something short and light before bed, but there seems to be a dearth of options in that category. Whatever happened to the 23 minute sitcom?Now I need to find my next 30 min show to binge.....
I don't think you would really understand what is happening unless you watch S2. It has been a very linear story that builds on the story line from the previous season.I watched Stranger Things S1. I thought it was fine, but definitely didn't love it as much as most people seemed to. Skipped S2 entirely but am hearing good things about S3.
1. If I didn't love S1, should I even bother with S3?
2. If your answer to #1 is yes, can I watch S3 without having watched any of S2?

Yeah... very confused as to why you’d skip S2. Was it to catch up to the hype with season 3? Season 2 is essential to the show. You have to watch it otherwise you’ll be confused and/or spoiled for Season 3.I watched Stranger Things S1. I thought it was fine, but definitely didn't love it as much as most people seemed to.

Just because I didn't love S1 and from what I've heard S2 is the weakest seasonYeah... very confused as to why you’d skip S2. Was it to catch up to the hype with season 3? Season 2 is essential to the show. You have to watch it otherwise you’ll be confused and/or spoiled for Season 3.
@ranbalam - I finished Nurse Jackie. She is both the worst person ever and the best person ever. I'm not sure how they pulled that off. Merritt Wever and Betty Gilpen were the best part of the show. I think Edie Falco has probably pigeon holed herself into that tough/no-nonsense role.
Now I need to find my next 30 min show to binge.....
Still essential though. It’s a linear show so you kinda have no choice but to watch it.Just because I didn't love S1 and from what I've heard S2 is the weakest season
Funny you should say that. My cousin couldn't get into PnR. I told him to skip season 1. He did and then binged the rest. And loved it. He's on his 2nd time through. We were just talking about our favorite episodes. And it made me think I may need to watch again.Nice! We stalled out on it and haven't gotten back to it in awhile. There are SO many shows I need to get back to. Battlestar, Nurse J, Handmaid's Tale to name just a few. When my wife has knee surgery in November I have a hunch we will have a ton of TV time.
You could always do Parks and Rec just one more time.
