I like how they gave the boys more backstories this season but at the expense of Eleven though, who was horribly underused. Episode 6 was brilliant. Episode 7 was different but excellent all the same.
One characteristic I like about the show is, similar to Season 1, it’s a bunch of characters who start off in separate groups, but by the last few episodes, circumstances have drawn all of them together to fight against the ‘monster’

Discovery shows on Netflix outside the US not US Netflix. You will have to take off VPN to watch it locally.

Maybe “backstory” was the wrong term. I meant that they took time to develop Lucas & Dustin character. While Eleven was also developed, there’s a sense she spent a lot of time just “wandering”.

Saw Umbrella Academy in recommendations. Caught my eye cuz I saw the guy who played Dickon Tarly from GoT on it. Would take a look.nick639v2 wrote:Add umbrella academy if u didn't see it yet...

Umbrella Academy was the perfect mix of humour, mystery, action and weirdness. 10/10
Stranger Things Season 3 was really good. The only thing I didn't like is how they made Hopper's character so petty to drive the story line through fabricated conflict. I think the writing on that part was a little weak and lazy. I don't like stories with unnecessary fabricated conflicts to drive the story line forward.

There's an older UK series called the misfits. IF you enjoy stranger things and umbrella academy, might like this also. The clown from Umbrella academy was in it. Very weird series.

With whatever time I dedicate to Television I started both Umbrella Academy and Fargo on Netflix by myself whilst the wife started OINTB. And this week because I have Amazon Prime videos free for a month, having taken the trial period of Amazon Prime I have been watching The Tick, Marvelous Mrs Maisel and Jack Ryan.
I rate Jack Ryan very highly and basically dropped everything else for that. Something weird about seeing John Krasinki as an action hero though as to me he is always Jim Halpert.

Dude.... Nathan was the reason I started Umbrella Academy. I will watch any show with him in it (except mortal instruments.... and i regret seeing mortal engines...... I'm sensing a pattern here....)
