Yesterday I rewatched the F1 movie on Apple+ but after I finished, I thought, "Of all possible plotlines they chose to basically do Top Gun Maverick + Days of Thunder? Entertaining for sure, but very implausible.

So, I put Drive to Survive, specifically my favorite episode of season 3 and the series as a whole: Man on Fire. And boy, in less than an hour we got a thrilling story of three midfielders (Albon, Grosjean, and Perez) struggling for their actual and professional lives, and I got a far better ending since Grosjean lived and Checo got that improbable win and out of Racing Point just to be hired by RB, who dumped Albon. So almost tragedy, defeat, and triumph in a neat package, no wonder is rated a 9.4 on IMDB.

Reasonably satisfying ending to a mostly good series. 😐👍

Yesterday I watched the season and series finale of Stranger Things. Wow, 10 years invested and IMO it delivered: thrilling action, bittersweet closure and proper send-offs. Yet, as many other good and popular series it probably overextended itself (Cobra Kai, House, Bones), while others are cut short (The Expanse, The Good Doctor), and others achieve the perfect length and ending (The Good Place, The Bodyguard).

IMO, in the end we follow a series because we care most about the characters and the actors that bring them to life, and this show had one great cast, and left its mark in the history of entertainment.

Season finale: 8.5/10, season 5: 8.0/10, series as a whole, hmm, 8.5/10.

I thought the CGI was next level but the plot was weak in a lot of places. The ease and quickness at how they defeated the main villain was kind of underwhelming…expected a Thanos vs Avengers endgame sort of finale what I got was Freddy’s final nightmare vibes

To me it was more like the Lord of the Rings (movies) ending, or a D&D campaign, two of the main inspirations of the show: Vecna ultimately falls not by might of Eleven (who, if we draw parallels to LoTR, is a creature of the same order, just like Sauron and Galdalf were Maiar) but for the intervention/actions of the most unexpected persons in multiple fronts: Will, Holly, and Max, and the "fellowship" of everyone else.
