Stranger Things — Series 5: Chapter 5 — Shock Jock — A Review

6th March, 2026: “Shock Jock”.

An Introduction.

If I’m being completely honest?

I’ll admit to a certain amount of glumness.

I suffer with depression, so you know: and, usually, the fluoxetine I take is a big help.

But Wednesday, just gone, was my birthday: and it’s … … 

Well, getting older has bitten: and left me feeling miserable.

More so than usual.

No: before you ask.

It’s not bad enough to want to do anything stupid!

But?

I’m very aware of some things:

Playing some of the sillier games on my computer keeps me busy, and helps lift my mood.

Buying unhealthy snacks does likewise: although I’m equally aware that’s not a good option, as I struggle with my weight.

That I should possibly make another appointment with my GP: and talk about upping the dosage.

Heigh … ho!

Something else that should keep me busy?

Or, at least, has, recently?

Is simply watching TV.

As you’re aware, I’ve recently been watching the last series of Stranger Things fifth season.

Last week?

I caught “Sorcerer”.

Tonight?

I’ll be settling in with Chapter five, “Shock Jock”: then finishing this review by this coming Monday, 9th March.

I hope you’ll be reading it!

Stranger Things — Series 4 Chapter 5 — The Nina Project — A Review

26th July, 2022.

Yay!   It’s Tuesday!

OK … I’m not exactly getting any younger, am I … ?

So yay … ?

Is possibly inappropriate.

What is entirely appropriate?   Is exactly what I’ve bee doing to the past few weeks.

Starting a post: to tell you I’ll be watching the next episode of Stranger Things’ fourth series, tonight.

I’ll be doing that, once I’ve had dinner.

I’ll see you, tomorrow.

The Mandalorian — Series 1 Chapter 5 — The Gunslinger — A Review

21st August, 2020.

It’s official!

Yes … I’ve had dinner!

It’s possibly the most exciting thing that’s happened to me, all day!

Hmmm … 

I think I need to get out more, I really do!

At any rate … ?

It’s Friday, and payday.

So I’ve settled my major bills, and done some shopping: and bought a blu-ray on Amazon, along side some other bits.

And?

It’s Friday.

Which means one other thing: another episode of The Mandalorian, series 1.

Yes: it’s still enjoyable!

Stranger Things: Series 3 — Episode 5— Chapter 5: The Flayed — A Review

23rd July, 2019.

It has to be said … payday is nice.

Even though, strictly, it’s the day I receive the little bit of Universal Credit I’m entitled to.

Rather than earnings.

It …



Well, it doesn’t cover everything …



But at least allows me to pay the basic bills: food, water, rent, utilities, what have you.

It’s a struggle …



But a struggle with bits left over.

At least … enough sugar left over to give to a neighbour: who, bless him, always seems to need to borrow some, at awkward times … 

~≈§≈~

At any rate … it’s a Tuesday.



One where I’ve got a meeting, tomorrow: to see if I’m eligible for some extra benefits.

In theory?

I should have a nice relaxed evening in: rather than staying up late, blogging.

To hell with it.

I’m in the middle of Stranger Things, series 3, and any spare time I have … ?



Is going to be spent watching it …

Stranger Things: Episodes 4, 5 and 6 — Chapter Four: The Body, Chapter Five:The Flea and The Acrobat and Chapter Six: The Monster.

22nd March, 2017.

How are you with time off?

Or days off, at any rate?

I’m betting, like me, you like a little housework done.   And, even as I say that, I can hear my family laughing!

But, like me, you probably do stuff around the house: and stuff you have to catch up on.

I do (not a lot of) cleaning, housework, laundry, make videos, what have you.

I ALSO like to catch some TV: or maybe a movie.

I’ve a copy of Arrival, sitting around, somewhere: and half thought of watching it.

But … ?   Today say Westminster attacked: by, apparently, a lone wolf, inspired by international terrorism.

That left me … frankly in a mood for the comparatively light escapism of the TV show I’m watching: Stranger Things.

And yes: Stranger Things is a welcome relief, given the dreadful news …
