Two episodes in, this is enjoyable so far!
|
I'm kind of thankful that Lost came and went and did its thing because shows like this no longer leave me with the expectation of things wrapping up. I don't know how much of this will be explained but I'm not really interested in that considering the journey is enjoyable.
Going in with the expectation of a mystery not getting completely resolved allows me to enjoy the plot a whole lot more. |

really enjoying this so far. Definitely some obvious Spielberg/E.T. influences. There's already a ton of pretty well-drawn characters, I feel like on lesser shows the stuff with Will's mom and with Nancy would kinda drag, but I'm even really enjoying those storylines. Felt so bad for Barb tho :(((
So far I like Eleven and the group of boys the best, those scenes are really fun. Favorite part so far was when El tells what happened to Will using the D&D board
If I have a complaint so far it's that I kinda wish the alien stuff was kept a bit more subtle. e.g. the stuff with Will's mom and the phone was great, but the scenes where they actually show the alien are a bit...eh |

Caught a glimpse of an alien in the episode 3 opening with Barb in the parallel dimension (I'M ASSUMING) but not in the previous two episodes. The brightness kind of sucks on my monitor so I don't see much when it's dark so maybe I missed it.
Can you see something a bit more vivid when the CHUGA CHUGA smoke monster noises start going off? |

I'm through episode 4 now and you never really get a CLEAR look at it, but you definitely get enough glimpses to get a general idea what it looks like
I don't really remember if there were any glimpses like that in the first two episodes, but I was moreso referring to the abduction scenes in general. I think it would be more effective if they just kinda disappeared into thin air rather than actually showing it happen (which would also make it more of a mystery if the aliens even DO exist, or if the stuff Will's mom sees is just grief-driven hallucinations). But it's more of a nitpick really |

Eh.
|
I don't really mind so much. I think I'm strung out on enough IS IT OR ISN'T IT supernatural/extra-terrestrial stuff at this point. In a way it's refreshing that the show isn't pulling any punches.
Right out the bat it's holding its hand up and saying yeah, there's telekinesis and alien activity in the show. I think by clearly establishing the rules early on at the very least it won't lead to a jarring moment later on. Less disappointment all round. |

Just finished this!
General opinion no spoilers:
|
I really enjoyed that! I live hope it doesn't really ever act like it needs to sell what's going on. It's not tripping over itself to try to make sense. It's just HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS with the story and still manages to keep the mystery elements interesting and fresh. I also really loved the suspense of how all the bits and pieces would get matched up more than the mystery of the unknowns.
It didn't need to lean on the SPOOKY MYSTERY STUFF to make the story work. |

Episode 4 done
|
I really love the tone of this, very watchable. Favourite characters so far are Hopper and Jonathan. Great ending with the science lab as well.
What year is this meant to be set? They're not explicitly clear on that and I quite like it. It feels like 80s/early 90s. |

| yeah, same, i watched episode 1 and thought it was good! |
I was a bit sad when:
|
| the diner owner died :( . Her shooting him also surprised me a lot |
|
I watched it. Got Spielberg vibes, too and loved seeing Winona back in something.
|
| Loved the diner owner - saddest moment. :( |
