Sam and I have been watching Stranger Things together. I watched it when it first came out, but I don't remember many of the details, and this rewatch is a good refresher before the final season comes out later this year. He's never seen it before. We are enjoying it SO MUCH. We watch one or two episodes each week, and we both look forward to it all week long, and we get giddy when it's time to watch. Yesterday we watched the season 3 finale, and I have had to go back and watch the ending again several times since watching it yesterday. I was incredibly moved, struck by so many things about the ending that were done well. The writing, the acting, the lighting, the costumes, the direction. Everything came together perfectly and the result has left me bawling every time I've watched it. When I am on my deathbed I will look back and remember watching this show with Samuel as one of the highlights of my life.
I got pretty sick a month or two ago and for awhile was having semi-psychedelic experiences during the night. I was left with a deeper understanding of how my psyche works. No shit.
