I finally got around to watching a couple episodes of the latest season. Loved this show the first season…but each season I become less interested.

I can’t put my finger on what they’re doing wrong. Production and writing are great. My “hot take” is that they’re addicted to formula: they keep introducing new hyper 80s kids that are too cute and too mature…and they never raise the stakes. It gets muddier as they keep adding kids/protagonists. The Hawke kid and the Kate Bush fan were great…but this season the “new” girl is a little much for some reason. Nothing against her really…but there always 7 pairs of kids running around and they’re all super integral…I kept getting the Hawke girl and the big sister mixed up.

Am I way off?
