Writing this review after watching episode 4 of season 5 and let's be honest, nothing has happened from the end of season one until now. We are still in the same position. In simple terms, That one kid got taken and then returned and we're trying to find the guy who did it. That's all that's happened since the end of season 1. This whole show could have been a film or maybe 2 films or even a trilogy. Instead it's half an idea stretched over 10 years.

People rating these episodes 10/10 are absolutely insane. The acting isn't great, the writing is pretty cringe, the story goes literally nowhere and it's feels as though a lot of what's going on is there to be viral. Rating this show or any of its episodes as "perfect" is proof that you're probably just obsessed or you're 13. It's ok for something you love to not be perfect.

If you use words like "GOATED" or "Fire" to articulate your love for this show, maybe wait about 10 years until you're a full adult to start writing reviews.

It's interesting enough to keep me watching but that's about it. Maybe I'll update my review after it's finished but I'm about as frustrated as I could be with this show.

Undoubtedly a great film with some incredible performances but it's just not THAT good. The story is a little contrived and tries a little too hard to be what it so desperately wants to be but just comes off as pretentious. It's so "of its time" that it's painful and it will probably be dated by next year.

That said, the acting is amazing, it's filmed as diligently as you'd expect and the characters/development are fantastic.

A great film that isn't amazing and I'll probably never watch it again.

The problem isn't the film, it's the people who overrate it that are the problem.

Unpredictable and a little disjointed but all to it's benefit. This is a rare film in today's landscape of remakes, reboots and sequels. To see something so genuinely unique and "in its own lane" done so masterfully and such high quality is refreshing.

Dont get me wrong, it isn't perfect. It's a little longer than it perhaps needs to be and I think some of the casting choices were a little questionable but honestly, it was a nice change and kept me fully entertained all the way through.
