I am paranoid of TV and hate letting them watch most of it, but at the same time realize its a bit nutty as a parent to go too far trying to shelter them, I have to let them see things for what they are. I watched tons of TV growing up lol
Anyways I'm also paranoid of NetFlix (another topic we should start perhaps, I see a lot of patterns and social programming coming through NetFlix) so I decided I better check out what's in her head.
I'm almost done Season 1 and have to say I get the hype. Its a pretty fun show. Pretty scary, but mixed with a good comic-book yarn style. Its also set in the 80's, and they obviously attempted to capture as much 80's nostalgia as possible and I think they did a pretty good job.
I tell my daughter that I was the exact age as those kids in the time the show is set, that was me growing up in the 80's. She even once recognized a Clash song I had on while driving one day, the first respect I ever got from her re; my musical tastes lol
Anyways the show is all about MK ULTRA VICTIMS. They even name MK Ultra specifically. Then they weave in some other fantasy around it, but I thought it was interesting that a NetFlix show is bringing up such a topic. I haven't told my daughter yet that MK is not entirely fictional
Anyone else watching this?
I heard a podcast the other day with a bunch of script geeks saying how great Season 1 is, but how Season 2 totally falls apart. My daughter disagrees. I look forward to seeing for myself. They speculated on the podcast that either: A) the writers didn't have Season 2 planned and hacked it together too fast/ran with a messy first draft, or B) entartainment execs told them to STFU about MK Ultra
