I tried to like this show but it felt stretched out and overwrought.

Netflix original programming is getting better though

Seemed like they had to stretch out the kids storyline with a lot of grimacing and bickering over Eleven until the teens and adults were ready for the finale.

The Christmas lights were cool but the alphabet thing was used once to no effect, same with the monster trap. Cool idea, neutered payoff.

Were there any strange audio glitches, like you heard somebody's voice, really soft but also really clear, just under the static? Like the most beautiful voice you'd ever heard?

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
I just want to know what her parents were thinking when they not only named her "Millie Bobby Brown" but then let her use it as her full professional name.

oh poo poo that's what Matthew Modine is from. Jesus, yeah, they need to give that guy a hell of a lot of more material in a season 2, kind of a waste of talent

i think thats the intent

all the little things, (whether it was the creepy look in eleven's eyes when she was about to go literal firestarter on a bunch of spooks, to the Lazy Boy) in Stranger Things culminated into the greater things

Also Modine played creepy surrogate/doctor really well

I had forgotten the sequence of 11 exploring the house and it was so incredibly charming. A combination of great shots, editing and excellent acting, and wordless acting at that.

I really really really hope Season 2 does not continue from season 1.

Go anthology. That piece of poo poo show AHS is on season 6? now and they at least did this and it's awful. Just don't get us locked on to one group of characters. It's tired

I couldn't get through season one due to Billy Bob Thornton being some kind of advanced god. His ability to make everyone else make the stupidest decision possible was some next level poo poo that I'm not prepared to spend my time on.

also she's the only name recognition the cast has so ofc she's got a lot of screen time.

yeah he is basically the Terminator (the most ridiculous scene is in one of the later episodes when a couple FBI dudes are introduced) but to be fair re the bad decision making I feel like kinda the point of Fargo is that people are making dumbass decisions (the movie was def like that anyway)

I... didn't like S2 as much. Got a little toooo fantastical imo would been better if they had a certain deus ex machina remain as a background mystery plot for viewers to go 'wait a minute wtf' a week later.

I always like the slow reveal of the secret lab/creature/experiments on a show like this. Now so many people know about it. So far the people in the city seem to take it ok. Idk

I'm scared that the 2nd season won't be as good. They'll have to throw more and more fantastical stuff at us. That's always better when it's only hinted at or barely shown :(

To be fair, Shelly Duvall was basically brutalized on-set to get her to that level of shambles.

Also Modine looks like he lost weight since Dark Knight Rises
