    Have any of y'all watched this?

    Jungle Julia and I decided to resubscribe to Netflix to see this, and... It just seems like more of the same shit.

    The "kids" are on the other side, with CGI backgrounds, and uh, some stuff happens.
    I catch myself zoning out when we've been watching it.

    I liked it when it first came out (I grew up in the '80s after all, and it really hit with me), but now it just seems like... Shit.

    I tapped out after Season 2 because I simply lost interest. I guess the 80’s nostalgia gimmick wore out for me.

    The Russian spy BS and the highschool teenage angst was almost my breaking point but this last season has been pretty solid.

    I only made it through the first season. They did awesome with the 80s nostalgia it felt like I was watching ET. But the story didn’t intrigue me at all.

    I made it about 3 episodes into season 2 and couldn't do it anymore. It story wasn't strong enough to keep me engaged.

    If you like John Carpenter, you may want to give Season Three a go. It homages him and “The Terminator” beautifully.
