Deserves its own thread. Instantly hooked on this show. All things 80s science fiction. A mix of ET, The Goonies and if anyone has seen it Super 8 film. Young lad goes missing in a small town, sheriff investigates as do his 3 nerdlinger pals. Class show  ------------- YBIG Table Quiz winner 2016 & 2017 AS YOU WERE McGx |

| It's a good show. Don't think it's top notch. The kids in it are fantastic actors. Reminds me quite a bit of the movie Turbo Kid, which if you haven't seen you should check out as it's deadly. |

Finished watching this yesterday. Everything about it absolutely top notch. Brilliant acting and the soundtrack fits perfectly. Wouldn't be so sure about the need for a second season though. Don't think that first season can be matched.

I know yeah. But up to a certain point it was all believable. You just to look at the CIA's MKUltra.

| Yeah it's hard to know where they could really go with a second series. I'd certainly watch it as I enjoyed this one but it would be a hard enough act to live up to. Good story line and it was put together really well. |

For those going to watch season 2, i'd recommend re watching season 1 as I had forgot a fair chunk of stuff. Blitzed it over the weekend and started it again yesterday. I think the thrill of the new season had me miss key moments. A worthy edition to season 1 nonetheless. Dustin ------------- YBIG Table Quiz winner 2016 & 2017 AS YOU WERE McGx |

Finished Season Two last night. Very good season overall. I find it that the series kind of covers most different types of movie genres, e.g. there is action, drama, comedy, Sci-fi, thriller, horror and nostalgia. It's impressive how they pull it all together and make the viewer really care for people in the movie. Would give the season 4/5 as well. sh*t thing is now we need to wait another year |

Finished last night. didn't think it was as good as first season but still good. The whole sister episode could probably have been left out as it didn't really play any relevance to the plot, bar I suppose her training her powers but still I think it could have been done some other way. As someone posted above prob setting it up for a spinoff. Loved the Aliens and Jurassic Park homages |

Yeah was good finale and all but they probably could have cut out about half an hour of it. Lot of pointless or overly long scenes that didn't add anything. |

Thought it was the best since season one by far but they definitely could have cut the episodes in length and had more of them. Two hours 12 minutes for the final episode was too long, it's essentially a film. Loving the attention it's brought back onto Kate Bush who is one of the best artists of the last 50 years. And who has always been hugely in touch with her Irish heritage and influences. ------------- Blog: http://afalsefirstxi.blogspot.ie/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI Twitter: @afalsefirstxi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/afalsefirstxi/" rel="nofollow - A False First XI |

Season 4 was superb, it's such a great show, leaving it on a cliff hanger of sorts is going to make the 1-2 year wait for season 5 painful though. -------------
