Anybody watching 'Stranger Things'?

Ad Astra · Oct 24, 2016

Just finished Stranger Things. :thumbup1:

Enjoyable, original- leaves you asking questions (maybe too many. not crazy about the ending).

And Eleven is a happening Halloween costume for small girls/women; crewcut, bloody nose and Eggo waffles in hand.

"Another dimension, sure. But what if it's ALSO another planet?"

"Like another dimension FROM another planet?"

"Yeah."

"Whoa ..."

The Upside-down is same earth but parallel universe...the ending sites up the next sequel

This show is very well produced and written. It's characters all blend in to make it believable.

Ad Astra · Oct 24, 2016

It's another dimension, but not necessarily a parallel universe.

Unless its both! And then, the creatures origin remains: multidimensional? Alien? Both?

Heard loads of hype around this but found it cliche and really disappointing. Am I missing something but I thought the acting was generally average and the story totally predictable.

What shows do you enjoy? While I loved ST to death, it certainly won't be everyone's cup of tea. Some people like the Kardashians, my folks watch nothing but horribly contrived home improvement/shopping shows, and Jersey Shore was somehow a thing.

I like quite a wife range of stuff, mostly drama. Not a fan of reality tv

Go West Young Man · Oct 25, 2016

You say cliche, I say loving references that capture the spirit of an era that was really important to me.

huskers · Oct 25, 2016

I love this show........can't wait for season #2.

I hope 11 comes back for season 2.

One of the best shows I've ever watched.

Cash_Stronomer · Oct 25, 2016

Cliche or not, a more or less semi accurate trip back to the eighties. :thumbup1:

DesertDan · Oct 25, 2016

Agreed, they really nailed being a youth in the 1980's pretty much square-on.

Dalejr · Oct 25, 2016

I kept thinking of the Goonies while watching it.

Omar13 · Oct 25, 2016

Loved it. Predictable or not I very much enjoyed the nostalgic/horror/suspense vibes it had. I am looking forward to season 2.

Cliche was kind of the point. If you didn't like it...no need to respond.

I get a kick out of watching it with my two kids. They're 13 and really into it. I'm a product of the 80's and the references are many.

Another good reference. Just finished the first three eps last night. Love the 80's overload. I think I still have my AD&D dice somewhere :thumbup:

I kept thinking:
E.T.
Stand by Me
X-files
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (channeling Richard Dreyfuss's wacky behavior in particular)

Alejandro Salemandro · Oct 26, 2016

It was an awesome show. I'm super nostalgic for that time in my life.

I had the best bigwheel ever.

Of course, this was also the decade of my trying to 'pet bumble bees'.

Ad Astra · Oct 26, 2016

+1. Police with revolvers. Kids' bikes with banana seats and chopper handlebars.

I HAD that Radio Shack walky-talky!
