Stranger Things

Maybe, but then why the CGI? Again, it's just a dumb and meaningless nitpick anyway.

This series has made me greatly miss the AD&D sessions of my youth...

Binged it during the weekend, I liked it a lot, both the cinemato / photography, soundtrack and direction hit the nail for me. I generally hate kid acting but most of them did a nice job. Also I think Winona is quite good, she already was good in Show Me A Hero IMO. Also Stranger Things is the kind of shows you'd watch on a date together.

New avatar. Thanks for linking the extended theme.

I'm on episode 5 and I am absolutely loving it.

Man its so cool you can embed soundcloud on here. (also I made this post and it didn't stop the music. A+ would post again)

Amazing show, s2 is supposed to be a sequel which I am fine with.

Yep, they did good work with this one. It's not perfect but it is very, very good.

Perfect is over rated.

It has to be! Questions have yet to be answered. Great final episode. Shocked only 8 episodes, but, what a killer season.

I've got one episode left to go. Can't wait to finish it. I do feel like episode 9 wasn't quite up to par with the rest though. Hopefully the last one makes up for it.

But so far, yeah, this show was awesome. I really like the kid who plays Dustin. What a goofy little fucker with those missing teeth. The whole show is really unique and fun. The writing and acting all seems to be on point, and the 80's shit is just perfect.

It also makes me wish I'd played D&D as a kid. My mom's boyfriend was big into it growing up (in the 70's), and he ended up giving me a lot of his books. But I didn't have any nerds to play with. I remember being probably around the age of the kids in the show though, and reading the fuck out of those books. I loved the illustrations of all the races and monsters. Shit, I'd plan out characters that I'd never play.

Just finished. Good shit.

Every time I saw Matthew Modine in this show, I thought of this:


It's a weird 80's cult classic, if you haven't heard of it. Strange that it comes to mind and not Full Metal Jacket, but whatever. I guess cause Vision Quest is more 80's.

Btw, for those that like the Soundtrack, this guy put together a nice list of the type of music in the theme (Apart from the band who did it, which was linked earlier.)

Very slightly spoilerish
