"Stranger Things" on Netflix. Anyone else watching?

[MuttX7]

It plays out like a love letter to the '80's.....It brought back a lot of memories...I like the guy playing the sheriff...I had never seen him in anything before but he plays that character well....I figure he will play pretty prominent in season 2....

The first time I remember seeing him was as the corrupt cop in the movie version of the Equalizer.


I liked the series, it was pretty decent. Its better than the crap like The Odd Couple, Two Broke girls, and other network programing for sure.

My wife and I watched them last weekend. Very fun show, and really good acting from the kids!

Watched the entire series. Very good overall. The gun handling made me a little queasy, but it was set before Cooper's Four Rules were published (1991), so I suppose even that was realistic for the time.

Good point. I was yelling at the TV last night about Sheriff Hopper running around the research lab with his finger on the trigger the whole time.

 

[pudly]

Oh, they break at least three rules during the course of the series- finger on the trigger, sweeping each other, firing blindly. Don't think they ever mistook a gun for unloaded. Yeah, pretty ugly and not up to current standards.

Watched this last weekend and overall I liked it. The wife not so much she thought it was geared towards kids(maybe why I liked it). Look forward to season two.

Wife and I watched two episdoes of it last night, liking it so far. I hope the show answers some questions for me, because that's all I got right now.

You've finished chapter 2 of an 8 chapter story. Have patience.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Yeah, hang in there. I finished the series and although it left me wanting more, I found it to be pretty satisfying at the end.

 

[MCgrease08]

Getting ready to watch Chapter 8 (final episode). I have to say, it has gotten better as it's gone along. The ending of Chapter 7 had me on the edge of my seat.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I'm through episode six. I'm not a Stephen King fan, so I can't compare there. I think of it as Goonies meets X-Files.

If you liked Stand By Me, Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile or Silver Bullet then you might be a Stephen King fan. These movies were based on his stories.

I liked the show and being a child of the 80's it made me nostalgic. I liked some kids had BMX bikes and some had butterfly seats. I got made fun of for my butterfly seat, but it rode the best wheelies. Then you get to fight the kid for making fun of your bicycle, good times.

 

[ghuns]

Very good show. The little girl who plays Eleven was excellent.

 

[MCgrease08]

The ending was definitely a little unsettling.

I do hope it comes back for another season.

 

[pudly]

I'm thinking it will. I have no inside information, but I'll bet it will be as follows:

-Same format- a number of episodes covering some story arc.
-I don't think it will use the same characters or be directly related story-wise. Some new story of a fantastic nature.
-If they can make the next story/series as interesting as this one, they will do well.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Finished it up last night. Read up on a bunch of clues the show gave to some loose ends... But I almost don't want another season with these characters. I sort of like how this wrapped up, and I'd hate to see it changed drastically from there.

But, they've already said they'll be doing another season... and these actors have already expressed intentions of being in it.

That "one month later" is going to be the focus of season 2, I'm sure. Lot of flashbacks to that.

 

[JTScribe]

Such an awesome show. Take bits and pieces of Goonies, ET, Firestarter . . . wow.

With the reference to many worlds and the appearance of the Upside Down, I wonder if it isn't some world where World War III happened. The toxic atmosphere as a result of chemical and nuclear weapons.

But such great writing. Episode 1 I figured I was going to hate the trope of the alcoholic, incompetent police chief, and then he ended up being one of my favorite characters.

Season 2 confirmed for 2017

[Moparracer89]

Just started watching and I am very intrigued. Im not a horror fan but the writing and acting in this is awesome. They absolutely nailed the period correctness on every level, even on the little background stuff 99% dont notice.

 

[warthog]

I watched it, was good IMO. It isn't too Horro-ish either as I am not much of a fan of it either.
