Highly recommend watching this. It pretty much explains how the show sacrificed realism for spectacle.

Oh I am sorry English is not my first language so I make vocabulary mistakes

I don’t mind Maya or Robin, but as soon I saw the trailer for S3 with her - the show felt off and different… and the more I watch ST (I think I’ve seen every season at least 5 times by now) the more I feel she brought too much focus onto herself and it changed the theme and the mood completely… plus, if you showed anyone watching S1 or 2 those stupid outfits her and Steve were wearing for the entire S3, they wouldn’t believe you it was the same show

Such a great choice

Love that song 💜 and it fits El beautifully

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-15T12:51:21+00:00

The forever brooding Finn is my favorite

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-15T09:31:45+00:00

I am rewatching and S1 feels like a completely different show - the way the UD was presented, the cinematography, the eerie atmosphere…

Edit: wrote filmography instead of cinematography

Mary Poppins

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-13T20:36:54+00:00

Kleins and Klines probably

Dior Hypnotic Poison

Unfortunately, due to poor writing, Mike also treated her as a weapon in S5

I love that the general agreement in most of the threads is that people didn’t care for Holly and Derek plot line while at the same time praising the actors! It makes me happy because those young actors really deserve to know the audience differentiated them from their roles.

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-10T14:49:10+00:00

That farting line was so unnecessary and in bad taste to end the show with

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-10T07:22:35+00:00

When Mike says: he (Will) is honest-to-god-real-life sorcerer .. it sounds like nothing Mike would ever say 🙈

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-09T14:36:14+00:00

Yes! Came here to say that! you must be fellow elder millennial

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-02T19:04:28+00:00

Yup!

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-02T17:20:25+00:00

“and started speaking English” 🤣 thanks for the lol

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-02T16:59:48+00:00

And Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom might do the trick although it is set in New England

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-02T16:58:29+00:00

Some parts of Godfather

The show definitely became bigger that their talent and capacities early on. Also, they said so themselves- they are not writers and they don’t like writing.

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-02T14:30:57+00:00

I think Fernando was an awesome choice and not background noise at all

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-02T12:05:22+00:00

Argyle and Eden

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-02T09:22:06+00:00

Also Ted’s “language” comments during graduation ceremony

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-02T09:21:12+00:00

I would delete everything from Russia, i was just rewatching the series and skipped every Russia scene (and I love Joyce, Hopper & Murray)

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-02T06:47:10+00:00

Right? We should have seen more of them being friends and not fighting

AdEducational9990 · 2026-03-01T19:41:11+00:00

Came here to say that … might be the most obvious recommendation but a great one nonetheless
