This is a story that needs to be told. 5 minutes into the first episode and I was already sick to my stomach. I can't even imagine what else was happening behind closed doors seeing what was even allowed to air.

Really engrossing documentary so far and its utterly shocking seeing everything that was allowed and pushed under the rug simply due to the fact that the shows were getting viewers and making money.

I genuinely feel sick I cannot stress it enough, just be advised before you watch. The conditions these literal children were put in at the hands of a disgusting pervert and writers, coaches that allowed it to happen will trigger you. Nervous to even finish the last two parts.

I've never played the games (sorry, they're on my list though after this season concludes)

I was hesitant at first because of the interesting tone they had set for the series. Very comedic and sarcastic, until it wasn't...

This tone is what ultimately grabbed me, however. I think anyone that lived through the last few years and through Covid can understand that s**t has been rough and lonely and devastating.

I'm not sure why - but I cried (repeatedly), and also had several panic attacks while watching this. This was an emotional journey that some TV series' take an entire run to achieve.

And all that I know is that I'm sure that I am not ready for the rest of this story.

I just don't know how to describe what I just watched. But it was a wonderful finale of (imo) the best season of the show to date (arguably right up there with S1)

All of the pieces fell into place so perfectly. It is more action / effects / CGI-driven than other seasons but instead of *ahem* other shows that use outlandish effects as distraction and filler, they complemented the story and writing perfectly.

Just a tad bit concerned about how Duffer Bros and Co are planning to finish off everything after this wild and bombastic season, but I have faith after this installment that they might just pull it off.
