Stranger Things : Tue Oct 11, 2016 7:56 am  

Inspired by 80's movies in which kids struggle against dark forces, including the adults who don't understand them (think ET, Stand by Me, Goonies etc) this is a story of disappearing children, government experiments, psychic powers and scary monsters; if you're a child of the 80's, it will hit all the right notes. Brilliant production, cracking actors right across the board (including the kids) and a very engaging story. Another cracking Netflix original - well worth a go!

Watched it a few weeks ago, it was no better than okay, I didn't understand all the hype around it.

It doesn't do anything new, and for me just felt like a mash-up of Fringe and (A Town Called) Eureka, but this time with kids in some of the lead roles.

Just binged watched it in a week. I thought it was brilliant. As mentioned above 80's inspiration like E.T. There was a bit of Silent Hill and the X Files in there as well. The plot made me want to read up on the very sinister "MKUltra" experiments of the 60's.

Season 2 is launched on Halloween - fair time to wait, but if the quality remains at the same level as season 1, it will be worth it.

Great show! Kids were brilliant and I thought the guy who played Hopper, and Winona, were brilliant.

Can't wait for season 2. They've got the 80s down to a t.
