Seven77 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 • I watched it a few days ago. What a beautifully crafted series from beginning to end (and how about those amesome 80s era intro graphics?!). i was loving every minute of it. It's got all the good stuff from 80s movies, perfected. Stellar performances, the kids especially. Gripping story. It seems to me that the show got right what the movie Super 8 got wrong. (Some of the creepier elements reminded me of Pan's Labyrinth---though certainly not as scary! Nihil is right that its more mystery/thriller).

LittleWaySoul Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 It's weird but I kind of want to watch it again? Though I probably won't until I have a friend who hasn't seen it yet to watch it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus te Amat Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I've been watching it with a friend and we finished episode 5 last night. I find it pretty creepy and can't watch too many episodes too close to bedtime, but overall I like it and hope they decide to do a second season.

I literally just watched episode 5 with my brother tonight! He's making his way through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus te Amat Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 My friend and I finished it last night. We are super excited for season two, especially because we feel for Barb and want people to realize she's actually missing. Poor dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicansoul Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've been watching it with my cats at midnight. They fall asleep, but I love every minute of it.

No doubt part of the genre that inspired this show. It's an anthology that is tied together by a cat, the creators of Stranger Things had thought of making the series an anthology, an idea which I think they abandoned.

dominicansoul Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I remember that show!!! I'm thinking the creators of Strange Things might make it into an anthology where the older characters gradually fade off while new ones are being introduced... At least that is what it sounds like in all the interviews I've been gorging on this weekend... there's tons of stuff on youtube about this show... Even the girl who plays Eleven wasn't sure she was going to return next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
