What to Watch This Weekend: Stranger Things, This is Us

TGIF. It’s the Media Studies classes and we are talking about what to binge this weekend.

“Stranger Things”

It’s an intense sci fi mystery kind of thriller diversion.

“It’s a good show, but maybe over-rated.”

“I just really like the plot – but if I tell you the plot . . .”

People who might love this show enjoy Supernatural – while a cynic might say it’s perfect for VSCO-feeds, there’s a reason this show has a serious fan base.

“This is Us”

It’s a rom-com AND a tv show. The whole show flashes through decades of the Pearson family – the kids as kids, the kids as adults with kids and even this season, the kids who are barely born as adults  – you gotto see it to have this make sense.

People who might love this show enjoy “Gilmore Girls” or “Parenthood” – while a cynic might say it’s too sappy. Grab your tissues: you’re going to need them pretty much every episode.
