That was pretty intense, huh?

Erica is the best character on the show. Robin's pretty cool too, but Erica is the poo poo. She shoulda been a main character in Season 1 and 2.

Erica is amazing. Really outstanding in eps five and six (which I just finished).

Enter your name pilot!

Just finished, was good. Like I said I really enjoyed how it didnt spend 5 episodes spinning its wheels with before the main plot started going.

Episode 8 spoiler def do not look until you finish this show. It will spoil the best part.


You have been warned!


The Neverending Story Theme is alright, but the best song from that movie is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yegQ9X2QSeI

I'm ten minutes into episode 1 and haven't heard a single rendition of Kids 0/10 failure of a season.

e: after a further thirty minutes of consideration, Kids was played 10/10 the pinnacle of television.

I rewatched Seasons 1 and 2 this past week to refresh myself for this. It’s been a long 20 months! So are the early impressions that this is better than Season 2? Don’t get me wrong I liked Season 2 but it definitely had problems, especially in the first half.

I was a season 2 apologist, but will say season 3 easily tops it.

by episode 3 some rats turn inside out and a lady eats a bunch of fertilizer straight from the bag

6 / 10 strange so far but i'm willing to bet that Things will get Stranger fairly quick because this show is moving quick this year.

Edit - what I'm really liking this season is that compared to basically every other show like this, the stakes actually feel town-wide now. They're going to a lot more places and seeing/meeting a lot more people around town so the world feels a lot more real and inhabited.

Just finished. Yeah, definitely better than Season 2. Bout as good as Season 1 for me. Though, I was under the impression Season 3 was the last for some reason. Thought I read that somewhere. That mid-credits stinger suggests otherwise.

Through 3 episodes so far and I have to give the show credit for making the kids look younger.

My daughter took a picture with Noah Schnapp at Tampa Comic-Con and you could have convinced me he was 16 (he’s not even 15 yet) but all the kids still pass for 11-12-13 on the show.

Also season owns hard so far.

Probably because this was filmed last summer right before the puberty hammer hit some of them hard. Season 4 is gonna have to be a straight up high school drama.

Anyway can someone please answer just yes or no, in spoiler tags, do 8 and the gang of annoying rear end misfits make an appearance this season in some way?

I was one of the only ones in the Season 2 thread that liked that episode. :eng99:
