It was an 80s homage and a show that could almost feel like it was made in the 80s. Now it’s a CGI animated series that costs more than the entire lord of the rings trilogy and the kids are played by adults, some who are married and have kids of their own now.

Season one was good, season 2 was awful but decided it gets a second chance so I watched 3 and it was awful too so I gave up

Now it’s a CGI animated series

It always was...

the kids are played by adults

Did it occur to you that maybe the plot doesn't take place over the course of a week?

They made the choice to have the show go on and on till the kids are bearded adults. It’s a stupid choice. And the kids are now meant to be 16-17… played by 22-25 year olds. That’s still stupid as hell. Why not have it be a story of the kids returning years later? Anyways I don’t really care where they go.

First season had cgi but was very grounded, creepy and focused a lot on the normal world. Now it’s al fully green screen cgi, I mean if you love it great. I personally hate the tone shift so I’m ok with not watching the rest.

The plot advances a year while the cast went from teen to child bearing adults in 3 years. It's gonna feel a little uncanny.
