Netflix: Stranger Things

[mechman]

Didn't see a thread about this here so here we go! In my mind it was one of the best series, if not the best, from last year.

I agree. Great series to watch. Reminds me a lot of my youth in the 80s.

Really liked the first season, second, so far it's okay. Reminds me of a cross between Stand by Me, Super 8 and Kenny and Company with a bit of sci-fi and horror thrown in.

I haven't found any time to watch season 2 yet. I've heard it's slow at the beginning but crazy at the end.

Looks like a lot of folks binge watched watched season 2 ...

Per yahoo,

"Netflix definitely has a hit show on its hands with the recent release of Stranger Things 2. According to new data this week from Nielsen, which only recently began measuring subscription video on demand services, 361,000 viewers binged their way through the entire second season of Stranger Things 2 - that's 9 straight episodes - within the first day it was available.

That's some serious binge watching, folks.

Within the first three days, the first episode averaged 15.8 million U.S. viewers (P2+), 11 million of whom were ages 18 through 49.

In that same time frame, every episode of Stranger Things 2 averaged more than 4 million viewers, over 3 million of whom were 18 through 49."

I finished it up on Tuesday night - Wednesday morning. It lived up to it's billing. Can't wait for season 3!

I LOVED Season 1. Just finished re-watching S1 to get my wife caught up, ready to hit S2 with her tomorrow (gotta get a better pair of speakers on the TV first).

 

[mechman]

I binge watched the end of season two and ended up going to bed at 3:30am on Wednesday morning. I just couldn't shut it off!

I've been thinking of watching that on NF, I just never got around to it.

 

[mechman]

You won't regret it!

I have not gotten to the end of 2, yet, but it sure is slow.

Oh it picks up!

Oh it picks up!

Looking forward to it. But then... I am on the hook for 3!

My teenage daughters really got into this show... one is all about 80's music at the moment.

I might need to check this out.

Made it through, Steve. Nice ending, not really a cliff hanger but leaves the door wide open for 3.

I still am into some 80's music, more of a prog rock guy. I was in high school in the Stranger Things time period. Lots of good 80's music represented in the movie.
