Laugh out loud hilarious and with a thrilling action set piece. It was like a full on movie. Bill Hader may be on the verge of becoming an absolute stunning Director. I watched the first episode the other day and it was excellent. But I think I'm going to save the rest and binge them in one go when they've all been aired. I don't ever do this with TV series but happy to make an exception with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works as one piece just as well I think due to the timing of the episodes. That and the pace of the show. This season is really incredible looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted June 1, 2022 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2022 Because I only caught up with Barry this year, I got to watch seasons 1 and 2 more or less in one go and it was a real treat. The week long wait between episodes now is tough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, that's one of the reasons I'm waiting. I'll probably do the same with The White Lotus and Only Murders in the Building too.

Paid Members chokeout Posted June 1, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 1, 2022 It’s not an exaggeration to say Hader has been a revelation as a director. He’s throwing out everything from emotional monologues to action scenes and nailing it like he’s been doing it for years. I can’t see him staying away from films for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Finished Stranger Things 4 and my biggest take away from it is Spoiler SHIRTLESS STEVE! If you’re not a fan of senseless and overly convenient plotting it won’t be great but there’s loads to love with some great character moments and when it hits it hits. An improvement on the last two series I’d say. Edited June 3, 2022 by Mr_Danger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An improvement on the last two series I’d say. Only up to episode 4 but I completely agree on it’s improvement over the last season (didn’t think 2 was that bad except the back door pilot) but hasn’t felt a slog despite the ridiculous run time of some episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Loved the latest Stranger Things, and never once felt bored despite the long episode times. I could've watched a whole series of Joyce and Murray (Brett Gelman is the best), thought Sadie Sink was excellent in her focused episode and Millie Bobby Brown kills it in that last episode... However Spoiler The reveal of 001 was bloody awful. I didn't give a shit about him the whole series, still don't and I just thought it was a bad plot device. He reminded me of that creepy cunt from American Horror Story but worse. Could be wrong though, we will have to see what the last two episodes bring. Also, Will and Mikey seem very much forgotten about don't they? So much so that the writers apparently forgot to acknowledge Wills birthday which happens during the series. Anyway, I'm off to learn how to play D&D and make a Hellfire Club t-shirt. I want to be Eddie. Edited June 4, 2022 by SuperBacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always liked Stranger Things but I thought episode four was stunning television. Brilliantly tense interspersed with the comedy of Joyce and Murray. One of the best episodes of anything I’ve seen lately. As people have said, the running times whizz by.  Sadie Sink was probably only better in Dr Swifts All Too Well (Taylor’s Version) but that’s down to the director of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the Hellfire t-shirts in George already, guaranteed It’ll be added to my collection of treasured shit Asda t-shirts this Father’s Day. The writing was really good in that episode 4 not only did we get this series bad guy’s main inspiration as a cameo Spoiler (not to mention among another stunning  dripping housewives favourite cameoing but Spoiler I totally bought that Max was in real peril and that she might be killed off. I see Kate Bush is charting too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted June 4, 2022 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2022 Inside No. 9 closes on another cracking series. And what a finish! Wise Owl's 70s public information films were as creepy as the real deal. Great to see Ron Cook in anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted June 4, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 4, 2022 I’ve loved stranger things so far. Not been a fan of everyone being split up and the story being fragmented, especially as some have had very little screen time but I’m assuming that’s a mix of shooting during lockdown and the cast having more and more work. The only plus point of it is I’m guessing it’ll lead to Spoiler An Endgame style ‘everyone gets back together to fight the big bad’ which will be the perfect way to finish the series as it was always built around them being a group and if everyone gets their moment to shine I’ll be happy, although Steve got bitten and I don’t want him to be the death that brings them together 😔  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
