    • Once Upon a Time
    • Stranger Things

    Both of these started off pretty decently for me, got me into the series for some reason or another. Then the writing and/or direction actually made the “chore” come out in trying to continue to watch these shows.

      Man, my wife and I were super into the first season of Stranger Things. The nostalgia factor and old school horror movie feel really came together. But after watching Season 2 it was clear they were just going to keep amping up the action scenes at the expense of the plot and atmosphere. So disappointing.

      I caught a glimpse of a recent episode somewhere and it was just dozens monsters running around getting shot at by an army of guns and Eleven doing some overpowered Jean Grey shit. Yawn…

      The writers of Once Upon a Time had no clue what they were doing after a few seasons. Just floating along without direction.
