Stranger Things (Netflix)

No, Season 2 is confirmed to have the same characters. It will be more about Will and the effect that the upside down has had on him.

I'm in two minds if I want a second season, stuff like this is always best left open with some questions. I really don't want a full explanation of everything. All of the major tropes have been done and I loved the bitter sweet ending.

I would far rather have an anthology series as suggested. Something that draws on other elements of the Carpenter / King / Spielberg era.

Up to episode 5 at the moment, really enjoying it. I like how it's revolved around kid actors with the adults being support, makes a change. Reminds me of Stand By Me & ET blended with X-Men..Love the retro 80's synth music as well.

I found it to be quite average.

The music was nice and the early story was good but:

a) Winona was awful in it. Overacting most the way through.
b) story was kinda predictable, as was the ending
c) just didn't entertain me in the way I had hoped

6/10 - wouldn't watch again.

6/10 is above average so can't be all bad ;)

I really enjoyed it. I got a real Goonies / Stand by Me / Alien vibe from it, which is not a bad thing.

Yep, same here. Leave that story arc alone now and do something else.

I'd imagine it'll still be good though.
 
I thought it was a great start good middle and average end.
doesn't need to follow that storyline anymore. It's done. I liked how it has loose ends.

They will milk it and wreck what they achieved.
