I can understand the temptation to just say they’re bad writers. In this day and age, where people are the best one moment and the worst the next (thanks internet), it happens all the time.

Well goddamn, that was crazy good.

I am a 1-3 per viewing person but everyone else in my circle binged the whole thing and they want to discuss EVERYTHING at ONCE! They know not to spoil for me and I understand the need to push forward thru the watch with momentum; to each his own...It seems like from your post you are more upset about not being able…

CASTLE BYERS!! NOOOO!!

David Harbour has that “back handed flashlight hold, pistol resting on his wrist” down pat.    Possibly sexy.

I’m with you.  My problem with dropping SOOO many episode recaps in one day is that it means for anyone who watches at a reasonable pace (even three a day) and wants to comment will find that nobody is participating anymore in the recaps for those episodes...  Look at even some of the more popular Netflix shows on…

So Hopper thinks his shirt is “cutting edge” but I think El’s outfit fit the bill as much or more than his. Shout out to the Madonna - Material Girl scene at the mall. The Scoops Ahoy crew is pretty awesome and Maya Hawke—yes that’s Uma Thurman’s and Ethan Hawke’s daughter—is a welcome addition this season. She’s a…

That pool scene was great with multiple homages. I loved Billy giving Karen the towel coming out of the pool, à la Caddyshack.

Not a parent, huh?

From Russia With Death!

Noah Schnapp broke my heart in this episode, first with the shouting match with Mike (who really has become a massive dick these past two seasons) and then smashing down Castle Byers. it’s crazy to think this kid (I don’t know if kid’s the right word, it looks like he’s aged three years since S2) felt like someone…

Not only is your suggestion a good one, but I’ve been here long enough to see that they’ve done that multiple times before in the past, with the Marvel shows and Orange is the New Black.

Ah. Well, that is a much more reasonable complaint than the one I thought you were making. I’m not sure which approach is better when a whole season-at-once drops. Perhaps it would be best to do as you suggest with an episode or two review drops per day, but maybe intersperse that with some open thread posts to…

I understood what you meant and said as much in the What’s On Tonight comment section.

No.. not at all. The opposite...

Just check one of the 85 reviews/recaps/articles they drop here today. Multiple evil souls in the comments there will be happy to accommodate you, probably by episode 1, but definitely a few times by the 4th.

That is unfortunate... Not everyone binges all 8 episodes in one or two days. Given how much I like the show and actually having a life, I usually watch an episode or two a day when it comes to these seasons. It helps me enjoy and savor it more than a slammed binge-blur.

Happy 4th everyone! Have a fun and safe celebration.

Great job Cookie!
