Anyone else watching this new Netflix flix series? I'm 2 episodes in, and it seems pretty damn good. It's like X-Files and Goonies combined. It has a decent plot, good mystery, good characters and acting. Surprisingly the kids (who fucking suck in everything) are the stars of the show, especially the toothless one.
The music is a amazing too, the 80's darkwave new-retro synth through and through.

Looked up the synopsis sounds a little like twin peaks.

It's definitely more like X-files. There's a government conspiracy involved, experiments, and some kind of a monster.

Gonna watch it later, wiki says it was originally called Montauk - my /x/phile sense is tingling. Montauk was a MKULTRA project in the 80s creating sleeper agents, and tied to all kinds of weird shit like ayylium abduction.

Watched the first 3 episodes, it's bretty gud. The New retro wave is a nice touch. Definitely recommend it.

Watched 3 more yesterday. It does go full on MKULTRA. And there's a lot of Stephen King and even Silent Hill as well. While there's some questionable writing here and there, it's becoming one of my fav shows. Up there with The Americans.
Gonna finish up and watch last 3 episodes tonight.

I just finished the episode where
and I'm legitimately hooked. The acting is surprisingly good, especially given how young the leads are.

The show was great but scared me at times.
