Jude Law is a good actor. The nostalgia and wonder is infinite. That’s all.
It took a little bit for me to get into it, but I think having the pairs trade spots in the last episode did wonders for character development. I’m really enjoying it now.
I’m kinda curious what Lucas thinks of it. He’s been open to discussing the shows in the past, and not everything he’s said has been negative, so I wonder if we’ll hear from him.
Goonies was better. This is just Goonies in space. It’s not awful, but I wouldn’t call it especially great. There’s no emotional connection with the kids.
Neel is my hero.
Also just because Goonies is better doesn’t mean this isn’t great.
Correct. Why the fuck should something being good, be a zero sum game?
The show brings back memories of all those 80’s kids adventure movies: Explorers, Time Bandits, Stand By Me, The Never Ending Story…
Exactly.
You can’t just watch the best of something and then never watch anything else. The Goonies will forever be excellent, but Explorers has more sci-fi, Time Bandits has more Pythons, Stand By Me is more mature/growing, The Never Ending Story is more fantasy.
They’re all good, even if one is best, seeing them all is still worth your time.
I’ve enjoyed watching it week to week but I’m looking forward to convincing someone else to watch it and being able to binge it.
Some shows benefit from week to week, and some from being bingeable, this is definitely one that will be great to watch in an evening.
