Help(please) Hi, there Could you help me? 1) Do you say "ON a Tv show" and "IN a movie", don't you? Then why in this article http://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/television/2017/10/27/netflix-review-stranger-things-second-season/107042866/ they say "Been there, done that IN Stranger Things 2" 2) What does "scattered things" mean in "In its second season, “Stranger Things” feels more like scattered things"? Thank you very much

it depends on the object. for the word "T.V." we use "on" because it is on the screen, but when using the title of a show we use "in" because it is in the story. We also use "on" for live shows and talk shows, but "in" for stories. so, "it happened on the news" but "it happened in Stranger Things". "scattered things" is a joke because it felt more scattered or disconnected than strange to the writer.
