7/10
When there is just black or white

Warning: Spoilers
It frustrating when people only ranked only one or two stars just because they do not like the episode, but still be totally entertained. 1 or 2 stars would be on the level of the comedy show "Under One Roof", which comes to 1.5 stars! I think imdb should be working on their system. Most of the so-called fans knows only white or black, but nothing in between!

So talking about Episode 1: I think it was an episode that was done well, but not excellent. The biggest issue that this season has to struggle with, is the teenage behaviour. The main cast are now at an age where they are expierience love for the first time. Unfortunately, the Duffy brothers have created that part exaggerated and sometimes even embarrassing, so it's almost annoying, especially for all who have been out of old for a long time. In many countries, the series is verified because of the horror and violence scenes only for viewers up of the age of 16. If the Duffy had noticed, probably we had seen a different kind of episode. And I wondered why no one of the kids struggling with what happened with them in the past. They just live like nothing happened. Like: look at us it's the 80ies TV Bubble Gum world we live in! Seriously?

Many fans got annoyed in season two that the little 80's references almost completely disappeared from the show! In this first episode are already so many references, it's almost too much.

What I did like and what they did brilliant in that episode were the scenes were combined just by the camera!

The kids cast was okay so far, not great acting. Unfortunately Milly Bobby Brown was the biggest disappointment in her acting. Sometimes she acts like a fashion model being on a catwalk: look I suppose to getting sexy! But David Harbour and Winona Ryder did a really excellent job! For the first time I really liked Winona's character in this show!
