I think the problem for me is that it tries to be the Goonies, but the characters are just nuts. Where The Goonies were forced to keep going because they were being chased by murderers, these kids have no reason to do what they do. They are like "hey lets go on this wacky adventure!" when everything around them is saying "Tell your parents and get the fuck out of town!"

that older sister and the tree, or wtf the cop planned on doing in the secret base. Jesus H. Christ.
Too much bad character motivation for me.
I feel you and it annoyed me too but I thought it still fit the vibe of those 80's movies and went with it. Main characters having dubious victories over the bad guys despite plot holes was my childhood!

Episode 3 takes a giant leap forward. I enjoyed 1 & 2. They didn't totally blow me away. There were more than a few clunky moments. But #3 was really great. Tense. Gorgeous. Wonderfully shot. Dripping with atmosphere. I dig it.

It's too early for you to be drinking all this vodka, Joey.
