    I think the reason why this has been such a success as opposed to other nostalgia themed films/shows is because it is done so well, this really could have come out in the 80's it is damn near perfect in recreating the culture and feel of that era. The acting is top notch too - the kids especially, the girl who plays Eleven damn near broke my heart, and the kid who plays Dustin is just brilliant. I've always got time for Winona Ryder too, she always goes all in.

    I watched it before I read all the hype, and I can honestly say it's the best thing I've seen in quite a while.

    So it seems like this show is NOT going to be an anthology as I think a lot of us were assuming after we watched this season. Supposedly the same characters are coming back next season.

    Thank the maker!
    There's no doubt this would have worked equally well as a stand alone series, and I'm sure the writers could have come up with something different and cool for a second season, but I just love these characters, so seeing more of this story is fine by me.

    Yeah, it's fine by me too, but .... I want to say more about this but it will be getting too close to a spoiler for this thread.

    Who decides the rules of these things?! Why would anyone be coming to this thread if they hadn't watched it, bloody pointless!

    Well the OP makes the rules. If it's allowed spoilers it needs to say that in the thread title so that no one who hasn't finished the season opens the thread.

    Yes, I've noticed! :lol: I just wish I could talk about the show more. I don't want to spoil it for people so can't.
