I can enjoy all that, to a point. But when it's just ladled on, over and over, I'm like "okay, enough already..." and move on. But that's probably a flaw/shortcoming (impatience, short attention-span, question everything, can't ignore plotholes, etc.) on my part, I don't know.

Those "kids" aren't kids now. Are they in college, I wonder? Or will they do the Beverly Hills 90210 thing and have actors well into their 20's still play high-schoolers? On a related note, I see where Millie Bobby Brown turns 18 in two days, on Saturday. Poor Chris Hansen will finally get a rest.
I agree that S2 was a bit weak, but IMO the show redeems itself in S3.

Regarding the ages of the actors, I think they’ve safely side-stepped that by ending the show after the fifth season. I have no doubt we’re going to see some gruesome deaths and self-sacrifices before this is all over.
