So I finally got around to binge watching Stranger Things over the last few days. I won’t put any spoilers here but they may be in the comments so be aware. I thought it was good. Not great. The child actors did a terrific job. The other performances were fine also. Setting it in 1983 was very well done and they did a good job of really bringing back that period. The plot was, well, silly. If you took out the nostalgic factor and put the same plot in contemporary times then I don’t think this would have been a big deal.
I also hated the pacing. Everything wrapped up way too quickly. I liked the beginning far better than the end.
Yes, I’ll watch Season 2. But it’s not something I’ll have to binge the moment it appears on Netflix.
Just started The Americans last night.
