You are watching a completely different show than I am.

The dialogue is fucking awesome and adults playing high school kids is completely the norm for movies and TV shows.

It is a show about an alternate dimension and people with telekinesis super powers but your are getting tripped up in the realism of the age of the cast….

Watching people parrot that same silly criticism of Stranger Things is bizarre.

C'mon man, it's not a matter of the actors being slightly older than their characters, their appearance is laughably incongruous with the setting. I'm fine with some suspension of disbelief but its incredibly jarring in every scene. It wasn't an issue I had with the show until this season. Like, they somehow seem to look older than they actually are irl, MBB looks fucking 30 in the show.

The dialogue is fucking awesome

I dunno how to respond to this, the whole thing could have been written by AI it is so basic and by the numbers. Half the scenes are just exposition where they might as well be talking at the camera.
