Yeah, that trailer kills! I think I liked it more than any single episode of S1. I'm super pumped for S2.

2 eps in. So much to love. Just the aesthetic of it alone makes it must-see. And I am just happy when I watch it.

Binge watched the entire season. It’s so good :) little nods buried everywhere. Listen for the gremlins music in episode three :) characters are a lot more lived in and fleshed out. I wanted to punch the black kid several times though. He’s annoying but he’s meant to be.
Such a great series. Get on it.

2 episodes in. It's exactly what you'd expect. If you liked S1, you'll like this. If you didn't like S1, you won't like this.

Kidding aside. If this series just depended on nods winks and endless references and nostalgia it wouldn’t have gotten past season one. It doesn’t do that.

It’s a great story and an engaging one played out pitch perfect (except that black kid) and happens to take place in a certain period.

Hits all the right notes.

I'm not sure why you hate Lucas so much. He was great in S1 and so far he's been good in S2, too.

the irish, in my own experience, are slightly racist towards people of color, but not in a malicious way.

Shut it butthole 2.

The kids a great actor. He’s meant to be annoying. He played that perfectly.

The real head scratcher here was the other main kid, Michael, is given fucking nothing to do in this season. He’s not even there.

you think that is because he was kind of the lead kid in season 1?
