I agree on Stranger Things. Another issue is that you have to confine the fantasy portion of it to the fantasy, e.g., monsters don't exist, so you have to delve into the unbelievable when dealing with monsters. But people do exist, and you have to treat them like they would act in any given situation, even if that situation is itself unbelievable (because of the monsters). One of my problems with Season 3 was that the whole subplot of the Russian takeover of the mall was just entirely unbelievable. Again, I'm fine with monsters that don't really exist existing in a horror/fantasy genre, but I want my people to do realistic things. That doesn't include a significant Russian military presence in a giant bunker under a mall in Indiana. How on earth did that happen?

Also, I'm watching the Walking Dead on Netflix now (speaking of all kinds of impossibilities and unlikely outcomes). Good way to catch up.

SFBadger, 

I completely forgot about the Russian takeover thing.  Yeah, that was really bad.  Like you said, believability should be suspended only at the genre level.  If this were a Spy Kids movie or something, sure, let the Russians have a secret base under a mall on domestic soil that the NSA, FBI, and CIA all totally missed.  In Stranger Things, I expect better.  And a trio of kids foiling them at multiple points along the way wasn't any better.  

I think the mystery of what all was going on is a big part of what captured my attention in s1.  It can be hard for shows founded on mysteries to keep up the same level of interest when enough of the initial mystery has been revealed.  Still, I thought s2 handled itself admirably.  s3....like the second Highlander movie, I'm just gonna pretend that didn't happen

That's like the old joke Mick Jagger was going on a tour of the Playboy Mansion West.Every level is more swanky, lavish and bawdy than the one before it.Finally Jagger in the elevator reaches Hefners penthouse,door opens up and he finds Heff and Dennis Weaver in an uncompromising position and yells "Hey Hugh get off McCloud".......thud

Yeah, the condo has a digital antenna on the roof and we get about 115 channels through it. I use that and Roku's for the two spare TV's in the place (and on the boat).

The weekend of the OSU/Mich St game, we along with 4 other couples, took the camper to a campground for the weekend. As this was quite a distance from a large city, the antenna in the camper was almost useless. I went to Wal Mart and for about $50, purchased a 150 mile range, digital antenna. I took along a tripod that I use for a video camera, mounted the antenna on the tripod and was then able to pick up every over that air channel out of Cleveland and Columbus. I also took along a 56 in TV and set it up on a table under the awning. We had about 40 or so people watching the game with us and had a great time. 

True... I also haven't watched Breaking Bad, and that might be on the list to go back and binge from the start.

But I highly doubt anyone is going back to binge-watch Friends from the start lol ;-)

My sister would, and does.  She doesn't need Netflix to do it though, she has all ten seasons on DVD.
