Is there some big twist at the end of the season? If there isn't I dont see much reason to go on.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

There is a "twist" yes. But I did not like the "twist." But I thought the show was good, so maybe you'll love it.

Finished stranger things 3.
It was boring.

Few laughs and feels the final episode. Other than that pointless.
Feels like a set up series for the next series.
It will be hard to muster any shits either way.

I LOVED S1 but I was turned off by the finale so I never picked it up. I guess I need to fix that.

Is that Orlando bloom? He finally looks like an adult.

Watching it now. Take away the wings and horns, and this is just a preachy, generic melodrama. It's relentlessly bleak and hateful, too.

You have to like Malek. They really explore the twist, if you catch my drift

Depends on what you mean by pretty I guess. The production values are ok, but nothing amazing.
