Best of Netflix
Whether you're binge watching or Netflix and Chilling, hats off to the digital streaming behemoth that never ceases to entertain.
The Last Person to Finish 'Stranger Things' Series 3 Speaks (Spoiler Review). Top Story - July 2019.
In an age where a new streaming service pops up out of nowhere sooner than you can fart twice, (nice, I just found a wild Disney+ up my arse!) it’s hard to find any media property that has enough cultural recognition, popularity, and pulling power—yeah, they’re basically all the same thing, but I was hoping you wouldn’t notice—to draw in enough people for a half decent "water cooler" conversation. However, the Duffer brothers’ smash hit Stranger Things has been a delight for me in that respect, even topping The Fantasy Show That Shall Not Be Named for viewership numbers and excitement levels amongst my little group of young adult peers. Nonetheless, the buzz for the Duffers’ show was not limited to just my friends. The official figures reveal that Stranger Things’ third series was Netflix’s most viewed "thing" ever within a four day time frame. This really begs the question: Why in the Upside-Down is this derivative, predictable, 80s nostalgia fest so Demodog-damn popular?

What I Like About 'You'
As someone who usually advocates for people to read the novel before they watch the movie/ TV show, I have to admit that this isn’t how it happened for me this time. After scrolling through Netflix for what felt like hours, I finally decided to watch some of the trailers that I kept getting notifications about. After about 20 seconds of the trailer, I immediately began watching You and I could not stop. After finishing the first episode, I was completely and totally hooked. Once I found out that the show was based off of a novel, I knew that I had to get my hands on a copy. For me, as much as I loved the show, I found the novel to be far superior. Granted, there were some areas where I think that the show took creative liberties that worked out in the end, but I found the novel to be simply captivating.

Review of 'Stranger Things' 3
An excellent third season of Stranger Things—in fact, my favorite of the three so far—which couldn't be more timely in this age of Trump and Putin. In the 1980s, the Russians were the Soviets, but they occupy the same place in Western popular culture—adversaries—and so they make great villains along with the monsters that the breakthroughs to the other dimension engender.

My Review of 'Stranger Things': Season 3
I realize that they have to churn out the seasons for Stranger Things pretty fast right about now. The kids are growing up and pretty soon you won't buy the fact that they're still teenagers anymore. I had an idea what they were going to do in this third season based on the previous season but it definitely did not go that direction.

Thinger Strangs 3: The More Things Strange, the More They Stay the Same
I think I liked this season of Stranger Things, but it also left me feeling just a bit underwhelmed. In some ways it’s an improvement on the last season, but in others I feel like it doesn’t try as hard. I don't really have a hot take or anything, but once I got started I realized I had a lot to say, so here we go. Oh yeah, spoilers.

Reasons to Love 'Stranger Things' Season 3
Of course, if you are a fan you might be biased on the latest season. But I'm here to tell anyone willing to read, that I am not a star-crazed fan. In fact, I only got into this season because my husband is a fan. Of course, I have to watch it as it's in my nature as a woman who attended college to study film and media at ASU. At first, I wasn't too drawn into Stranger Things it was just a tad off-putting for me. This season, however, got me. I read the creators of the show pushed backed their production for its CGI work, and I must say, I was not disappointed.

My Review of 'Always Be My Maybe'
I didn't think I'd want to go back to Netflix until I saw some of the trailers for Always be my Maybe. I'm a fan of Ali Wong, and I didn't think that she would actually have a starring role in a movie. A lot of comedians have been getting acting roles so I'm not terribly surprised.

'Stranger Things 3'
Season 3 of Stranger Things dropped on July 4th to coincide with the Independence Day celebrations in America, which mirror the festivities in the show. With any new season of a show, you always have that worry—is it going to be as good as the previous season? The answer in this case is a resounding YES!
