Stranger Things is an impressive show with a beautiful homage to the 80's and clever sci-fi and horror themes mixed together. It feels like a Steven King story made by Steven Spielberg.
Right from the beginning of Episode 1 you're intrigued and eager to find out what happens next. The story is a little slow, but it has plenty of twists and turns to keep everyone interested.The casting is extremely well done. The kid's acting is very impressive, especially from Millie Bobby Brown.
My only problem is that Season 2 wasn't as good as Season 1. Don't get me wrong, it's still quality, it just can't live up to the expectations after such a fantastic first season. The Duffer Brothers said that the second season was going to be 'bigger and darker' and it seemed to get a bit out of hand. The plot is a bit lack-luster, and the stakes don't feel quite as high. It gets off to a slow start and is a bit confusing to follow. The finale was good but I was disappointed in the lack of screen time that the Mind Flayer got.
The Eleven story arc is not only confusing but also disappointing, and her solo episode was unenjoyable and boring. This was upsetting because she was outstanding in the first season.
Still, the second season is very well done, with each new character fitting in seamlessly. Max especially was a welcome addition to the team, adding a bit more fire. It's still a quality show and overall well worth a watch.
