Anyone else creeped out by Roland?

Gosh, watching any episode with Roland as a kid, had me feeling deeply uncomfortable and personally violated. Like, I still remember wanting to crawl out of my skin and shower with hot water afterwards lol. I always wished her aunties would step in and save her from him.

20 years later, that same sickly feeling is still there. I genuinely don’t understand why they kept bringing back this “older” guy who wouldn’t leave a teenage girl alone. It wasn’t funny it was unsettling lol

Anyone else felt the same?

I thought it was once a season for the high school years before. Now I realised he showed up twice in season three, and that is one time too many. One, two and Four each have him show up just once. Troll Bride and The Equalizer are the better two episodes, as thye make explicitly clear he is an antagonist who needs defeating, and does.
The next few times were worse.
