Haven’t read this article. But been saying it. The appeal, to me, was nerdy middle school/high school kids in the 80s kicking butt. And the fantasy/mystery/dnd of it. It was the way I could relate to the kids in a nostalgic way. Now it’s some early 20 “kids” in the 10th grade. Just forget that it’s some high school kids and watch it for what it is.
-season 1: nerdy, dnd, 80’s, cool little corny/campy coming off age story.
-season 2: nerdy, 80’s, cool little corny/campy coming off age story.
-season 3: cool little corny/campy coming off age story.
Season 4: the only thing remotely first season was the name of the club.
The big bads are loosely DND influenced and in name only. I rewatched the first two seasons a few times. But I got all I wanted out of the previous two on the first watch. And I’m not saying they’re bad, they’re just losing me. At least Jack Black isn’t in it I guess.

It went like this to me;
