I’m six episodes in, and so far I like it. I don’t mind them messing with the backstory because, and this coming from a big Friday the 13th fan, was barebones anyway.

So far I like what they have done with Ralph.

Just finished Episode 8. I loved everything about this. I thought they did a great job. Outside the kills being over the top; I was very pleased.

I was thinking this, actually. All of these throwbacks to the 80s forget that gratuitous boobage was a huge part of the 80s slasher culture.

Well these productions don't want to suck like those slasher movies

Naked boobs bad, portraying a child tripping on acid is ok now though. Sounds about right.

If those slasher movies sucked then this show wouldn’t even exist.

If there is a property lacking in value or established canon to exploit, this is it. And growing up I was a Jason fan, out of the 3 main 80s slashers (Jason, Michael Myers, and Freddy).
This franchise literally started out as an overt and explicit ripoff of Halloween, and they just made it up as they went for 9 movies (through X). Nearly every movie in the franchise is a retcon of the prior movie, until it was off the rails with 7 and 8....only to be reconned again in Jason Goes to Hell (by making him an evil parasite that goes from body to body).
The weird thing is the one movie in the series that tried to do something creative (5, A New Beginning) is hated by the hardcore fans of the franchise (which says a lot about both the franchise and fans).
*ETA: and Horror has had a lot of new blood and creativity the past few years.

Who gives a shite? The point is that it's just another recognized brand having all of the blood squeezed out of it before moving on to another.

I loved it. Really entertaining. Rewatching the OG movie now. They did great with the 70s style production.

6 episodes in and I am enjoying it.
I think we all loved Jason back in the day as a kid.
I like the backstory aspect of it. Linda as Pam is awesome as well as the rest of the cast.
More tits would have be great lol

I didn't mind it. I mean, originally Jason was born with some kind of birth defect or something. But, the father explaining at the conference how they were trying to create humans who could survive a nuclear attack fit's with the fact that Jason survives for so long.

She carried the entire show. I didn't really care for the Sheriff or the deputy.
They did a good job of getting the 70s "feel" correct. I can probably think of somoene I knew back then that fit each of the characters.

Also wonder who they get to play the older Pamela in the next season. will they just "age" Linda? Reading some stuff about the movies. She supposedly was only 16 when Jason was born. And 49 during the events of the first movie.
Yeah, going from Cardellini to the OG Mrs. Vorhees is going to be more jarring than when they went from Annie Potts as Connie Tucker to June Squibb on Young Sheldon/BBT.

The only thing I didn't get was the timing of when he drowned vs the main events of the show at the end. It was still just a year later, right? There wasn't any massive time jump, so is the radiation treatment supposed to be how/why he was almost grown at the final scene at the clubhouse shack?

yea, that was a big jump in height...maybe they needed a reason to get the sack involved

I finished last night and really enjoyed it. Going to try a rewatch before Halloween.

They almost went full Johnny Lawrence with Jason - making him a sympathetic character when his POV is taken into account.... until all the murdering, of course.
