Topic: Stranger Things
The series is set in 1980 Montauk, Long Island, where a young boy vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl http://next-episode.net/stranger-things In case you haven't seen this yet, you should and i mean right now.
Re: Stranger ThingsOff to a good start.
Re: Stranger ThingsI probably enoyed it quite a lot because i'm an 80's kid and it kinda reminds me of Goonies, E.T., Twin Peaks, X Files and Super 8. Then there is the 80s music and the Tron/Daft Punk like OST.

+1. They completely nailed the feel of many 80's films and TV shows, just like you mentioned (apart from Super 8 which I hated and just felt wrong to me). I too was "an 80's kid" as you put it - I was 10 when E.T. came out 2020. Meh.
Re: Stranger Thingsi agree with the super 8 connection. the obvious reason. it made me think of all those 80s films and stand by me with bicycles. i say I'm an 80s kid, but i think at heart. i was born in 86. but i have 3 older sisters aha, so i grew up from a very young age watching all those movies. the x files was my show the day it came out when i was 7. so this was a perfect show for me. it really hooked me from the first episode. i didn't take a break from it. all 8 episodes binged. very well done. "city morgue, you kill em, we chill em"
Re: Stranger ThingsSince you brought it, I was a 10 yo kid from Romania in 1972 and the series I grew up in the mid 70's was Bonanza, Tarzan with Johnny Weismuller, and the trilling SF, at the time, Land of the Giants, Lost in Space and The Time Tunnel. Anytime, Anywhere, Anything!
Re: Stranger Thingscan't believe i didn't think to say twin peaks. cause it has that feel to it too. i do hope they carry it on. netflix say they feel optimistic, so they must have a plan if they do get to continue "city morgue, you kill em, we chill em"

Re: Stranger ThingsWith the huge buzz around this (which is totally justified), they would be crazy not to make a second series....
Re: Stranger ThingsI binged watched it in one sitting. I liked it a lot, music, setting, everything. I was also surprised when some characters I had pegged early on for "this character's definitely dead by the end of the season" were proven wrong. Some interesting teasers at the end as well, hopefully more to come.
Re: Stranger ThingsMy mother and niece binged watched it together; that either of them sat in one place that long says a lot to me. Currently watching
 Re: Stranger ThingsGreat show.

Re: Stranger ThingsOh boy are you in for a ride. It's a great show. DRM "manages access" in the same way that Prison "manages freedom".

Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves.
Re: Stranger ThingsIt's back and in 4k HDR, sweet.
Re: Stranger ThingsNow I(42yo) just recently caved in, decided to give this a go. Not a scifi-fan, thought this was just some supernatural stuff. I started watching it with my daughter(15). We absolutely loved this. I kept getting "Drive"-vibes from the music(the Ryan Gosling-movie), so good. And an alternative way of spending qualitytime with my oldest daughter:)
Re: Stranger ThingsWell I must say that your timing is impeccable. I've been putting this off for some time now (backed up in my queue) and now I'm finally here. I plan on diving in sometime before the end of the week and yes, I know I'm in for a treat. Dilly Dilly...   
Re: Stranger ThingsThe first two seasons of Stranger Things were spectacular, but man, this third installment has pushed the warp drive to its limits. Red alert!! The director (Ross Duffer) feels that this series will be a four-season thing and then it's adios. The writers have to keep adjusting the story and aren't sure if they can justify something bad happening to the core characters every year. We're getting four seasons, and there's very much the possibility of a fifth, but beyond that will be highly unlikely. AFAIC, I want something that's going to be fun and immersive like they've been banging us with over the past three seasons. Please don't wear out your welcome x10 like TWD. Wrap the series up on your terms, enjoy the run, and hightail it back to the future at your earliest convenience. There isn't an official season four release date on the table yet, but there is a chance that it could air sometime in October if the Duffer brothers stick with a similar pattern:
Whether S4 will occur in 2020 or 2021 is a story for another day... Re: Stranger Thingsscorpius074 wrote:
