Stranger Things

I know I have posted many shows that I personally thought were wonderful while others disagreed, but I believe this is a show truly worth watching. The reviews seem to be amazing and the rating at 9.3 is pretty darn good.

You know you live in a golden age of TV when it looks and feels like film.
This seems amazing, thanks. I'll check it out.

I've watched three episodes. It's not bad.
I really like the 80's look and the theme toon.

Yeah I watched it and I can say I enjoyed it. It is kind of escapist kind of entertainment so I guess there really isn't much to say about this, but what I really find ridiculous is how these kids are so free to roam outside without any chores or supervision from their parents, if only I could have gone out and stayed all night when I was what 12 yrs old. I mean what are they baby boomers? Because I remember Bill Bryson said when he was a kid he had that kind of freedom because in those baby boomer childhood days there were so many kids outside that parents just gave up on supervision.
Other thing is walkie talkies. They made me a flashback of something I haven't think about since and that is when I was a kid one guy had this headphones walkie talkies and for some reason when we were talking some German speaking people would interrupt - I had no idea who they were. Maybe they were picking airplanes and pilots inside talking? I may have to contact that guy and ask him.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I loved the show, but I don't want them continuing the story on season 2 or it's bound to get destroyed...

Wife and I loved it, we're hoping they go for the anthology setup.

I love this show, but I haven't finished watching yet. I want to binge watch it like so many others do, but my boyfriend and I are watching it together. He doesn't agree with my pacing.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
