I was very much looking forward to the 4th season and it was good without being great. I think it added too many new characters and spread itself too thin trying to get everyone they're 5 minutes. The story is more complex than usual this season and it's kinda better for it. It's a bit lynch lite. I dismissed this show at the start for some reason, but now i have to say i love it.

I'm two episodes in. I'll finish it up but not all at once. I like it but I have a Generational Boogie-Man that is keeping me from enjoying it as much as I might.
I grew up with TV and I've seen a lot of movies. I LIKE long movies - you can do a lot more character development and all that sort of thing. I like "long form" television for the same reasons. I think I'm starting to have a problem with "Bingeable Television"
I don't mind that it's long but it seems to me that a lot of these series are padded like the TV movies in the seventies were. I don't mind it being long but WHY is it so long? is it good story telling that is setting something up for later? I certainly fucking hope so because I felt like I was two hours into the thing before it really started going anywhere.
Having said all that - the cliche 80's teenagers (the bad guys) are the only thing really exasperating me but if you're going to homage Stephen King then I suppose you need to trowel that stuff on.
I thought series one was OUTSTANDING. the others were okay. I'm hoping this one is at least as good as those.

I watched the first series after some mate raved about it and it was alright. I mean I got a slight kick out of the all the 80s stuff but I really felt it jumped the shark towards the end. The cop breaking into the top security building...the lass coming back from the dead seemingly to defeat the monster.
I didn't bother with series 2.

The season finale was a bit empty and drawn out. It's like the brothers get 90% there and just leave you feeling frustrated. Can't really give any examples without spoilers. I still enjoyed it, and i am a looking forward to season 5, and do have a fondness for the characters.
