Am I so old that people are already making stupid shit inspired by JJ Abrams?
What's with all the E.T. imagery? I would have thought it was a remake if it was on mute.

This seemed to come out of nowhere, but now I've gotta check it out.

Seen about three episodes, definately a fun watch, I hope the substance turns out to live up to the style. BTW, is this supposed to be a continuing series? I feel like it has the makings for a great mini-series or a season of an anthology show, don't know that I want it to be stretched out over seven seasons.

It ends in a way that it could just remain a standalone mini-series, but I believe the Duffer brothers said they will get to continue the story if it is popular enough.

I finished it. I have...thoughts on the ending. I'll share when a little more time goes by in case anyone else is binging.

Yeah, I watched the final five episodes tonight. It was good, but I could never reach the high I got from episodes 2 and 3. There were small-to-medium issues dotted around the series.

I watched the first three episodes last night. I can see why people are talking. So far the show is great.

It's a strong show with a good cast (though I'm not totally sold on Winona). Even the kids are performing well and really, they are carrying the show. Five episodes in and I'm still interested. Usually I lose interest pretty quickly with television/episodic stuff, so I guess that's saying something.

Winona didn't have an off switch.

I've heard so many recommendations for this...like, an inordinate amount.
Is it that good?

It uses every cliché, but it uses them well.

I feel like it could have easily been trimmed down to a feature-length film. While I enjoyed it, it would probably be a chore for me to try watching it again.
I don't know if it was just me, but was it obvious to everyone else that she was a girl? Until someone said "she", I thought she was a boy. Then it continued to bother me that every single person immediately recognized her as a girl. I felt like I was crazy.

No, I agree. Though I can't help but thinking the real puzzler was when they thought she didn't fit in, so they proceeded to She's-All-That her up like a Barbie doll.
