The 60s through 90s provided such a unique time & settings for stories like The Wonder Years and Stranger Things to be told through growing up years of kids. Of course nostalgia factor and music is a huge reason why these series succeed in first place, but I wonder post 2000s what kind of “growing up” stories can really be told anymore? I feel like the 90s provide maybe another opportunity for a growing-up show to be made with a bunch of kids, but I am hard pressed to imagine what might such stories look like in a post 2000 world. Like can you imagine a growing-up show in future about today’s teenagers? What might it be about? Roblox? Video games? 6-7? Tiger parenting? Organized sports & schedules? All of it sounds so depressing… is this what our kids are going through?

📺 Stranger Things (2016) – ★★★★★

Absolutely landed the ending IMO even though a few episodes were meandering. This show has been such an integral part of our TV watching last decade – R was 5 when it first aired, to her becoming a fan when she stated watching it two years ago, to now all of us sitting and watching the finale as R as in high school feels like a journey. There won’t be a show like this again for a while for sure.

Thst was actually a beautifully done finale, even if long. And we chose to believe. #StrangerThings

My lifecycles through the years. Clearly the pre pandemic, pandemic and post pandemic WFH years are so different. Also, I am sleeping well now than before and doggo makes me walk more 🙂

Happy new year to everyone except those who voted without a brain in 2024. On the positive side, only 3 more years to go, hopefully if we all survive it!
