I am not native American so I've to completely rely upon IMDb ratings and reviews this series became very famous and had high ratings so I was looking forward to it.I read something about nostalgia but didn't know that viewers would give high ratings to any show without thinking. Well it all comes down to taste but something with 8.9 should be written very well not just copied from old movies of steven king and others.Do you really think that this trash is better than oz that has only 8.8 rating.My four year old son can write better than this no logics whole story has plot holes little kids fighting against aliens,secret organisations,you can go to other world by sitting in pool of water!really without any explanation they showed us that and people are calling it masterpiece.Some of the mysteries of the series never see resolution. For example, how did Will communicate through the lights? Especially if, when you're in the Upside Down, you can't perceive the world on the other side? The series was too long. At least a couple of episodes consisted mostly of people walking around, driving around, going here to there without the story advancing anywhere. A two-hour movie could have told this story. The monster wasn't that interesting. Better that we never saw it fully. Also, how does an apex predator survive in a lifeless world? Just wondering. Of course, when the series runs for several hours, you have time to ponder these questions. Here's another one: How did the bad guys' MAJESTIC 12 base operate in a completely undetected fashion? Did dozens of people live on the base, with no contact with the outside world, for years? Be that as it may, they were stunningly inept, to the point of hilarity. And the end really wasn't the end. The chief bad guy might not be dead. The monster might not be dead. Eleven isn't dead. The young boy who goes missing in the beginning is coughing up alien slugs, but doesn't tell his parents. No resolution of any plot point, in a cheap bid for another season. (Note to the writers: Why not just start another plot, as other series have done?) This is a review of the episode so it looks like Eleven is alive and well over at Sheriff Jim Hopper's place.What's more interesting are the questions of how did Eleven survive and why hasn't she reached out to her friends? Poor Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) appears to be stuck between two worlds. While Mike, Dustin, and Lucas are focused on beating the high score in Dragon's Lair, Will is stuck with visions of a large shadow monster that makes the Demogorgon look like a chipmunk.he's the only one who can see these aberrations.there are some new characters not likable.Nancy and Steve were still together sorry, Jonathan; they even went so far as to use the "L" word. But she remained haunted by the fact that their first night together had cost Barb her life. And, as if she didn't already feel guilty enough, she learned from her late bestie's parents that they were selling their house to pay a former investigative reporter named Murray to find Barb. Uh, good luck with that.nothing much happened. I was ready to like this show. I wanted to like it. I even tried to convince myself I liked it. People seem to enjoy it for the 80's throwbacks; I feel there is nothing else to it. Stranger Things invokes the style of the classics as if to count itself among them, but it plainly is not. I find it utterly forgettable. Quite simply it's plot is simplistic, it isn't that scary or suspenseful. If you remove the 80s nostalgia, not much there.
