So I had to come here because I binged this entire show in less than 16 hours and it's seriously AMAZING. It's the best thing I've seen in a very long time (and I've seen some good stuff recently). It's such an awesome homage to Stephen King, Spielberg, and '80s Sci-Fi-Adventure/Horror in general. Every was character was fantastic. Winona Ryder was great as Will's mom Joyce. Then the actor who played Will was so adorable and convincing that I felt genuinely protective of and invested in him during the entire thing. Sheriff Hopper might be my favorite though. I identified with Nancy the most (she's an unexpected but total badass) and Jonathan was great too . . . hell I even liked Steve because he's such a three-dimensional character. The main kids remind me of the gang from The Goonies . . . Mike, Eleven, Lucas and Dustin were all lovable in their unique ways. The way they ended things was perfect too IMO; satisfying but left me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see what happens in Season 2.

If there's one (two) reason(s) I'm really happy for S2 it's because of Hopper and Eleven. Both are such great actors/characters and I'm glad there's gonna be more of them, specifically Hopper who always has bit roles in things so it's great to see him as a lead character, especially one he's doing so well with

I don't understand the hype behind this.

Like it was a pretty easy watch, I'll give it that, but the plot was so fucking weak.
I'm pretty sure I predicted everything that happened.

Like I guess the journey was cool, it was the only thing that kept me interested.
Then they have that BS ending where nothing happens.

Ehhh, not sure I'm really looking forward to Season 2, I mean is there really anything left?


You're the worst kind of person bruh bruh.

Lucas was the best of the boys imo. He kept things REAL!

Holly over Hopper Boc cmon


OMG NO. Lucas was by far the worst of the three boys (but he was still he was great). He was so wrong about Eleven.

Hopper is amazing and a DILF (lol) but Holly is the true star and we all know it. You just know she's thinking, "this bitch -_-," every time her mom talks to her.

Holly batted 100% on her scenes so there's something to be said for that (:

I honestly got pretty annoyed with Lucas during the middle of the season. He was kind of a necessary part of the group's dynamic but I feel like he was being pretty UNREASONABLE toward Eleven most of the time. But I liked him again once the gang got back together


I love you. You're so on point.

SORRY HERE TO BACK CURTIS UP. Lucas was my favorite of the boys.

Tbh I thought all of his behavior towards Eleven was 100% warranted. Sorry but if my friend brought home a freaky Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta child look-a-like who had weirdo powers and nosebleeds all the time I'd be as angsty as he was. Not unreasonable in the least.



If anybody was unreasonable towards Eleven, it was the scientist assholes (obviously).


Curtis @ 1/8/2016 12:44
No no no Lucas ruled throughout, he was hilarious. HE WAS THE VOICE OF THE AUDIENCE

Tbh if anyone was unreasonable towards Eleven it was Mike, Mike was a bit of a lil bitch at times


Good points, good points my Curt. Mike was def a "lil bitch" at times. I loved all the boys though and I would say that my favorite was actually none other than . . . Will Byers! He was just so precious, whether he was assuring his mom that he wouldn't have nightmares if she took him to see Poltergeist, or was casually boppin' his head up and down with Jonathan to "Should I Stay or Should I Go" ~

'Castle Byers, All Friends Welcome'

The show honestly made me care so much about pretty much all of the characters, even the supporting ones. I was devastated when

was murdered, and it was heartbreaking when they found
