Just finished last night. That was an amazingly fun season. My wife and I have been craving a good show to watch for a while, so that hit the spot.

I absolutely loved the nostalgia of this show. Being an 80s kid, it hits every point. There is so much detail everything they put in the show, from the costumes, music (which I was loving), to the references. Someone mentioned about about the Back to the Future homage, and I agree, spot on, and you wouldn't know it unless you gave it a bit of pause.

Some thoughts

Spoiler!

Some thoughts Spoiler! - Billy's character was really well done. I loved his arc - Loved the depth of Nancy's character too. - Hopper's end was surprising, yet fitting, and my wife was enraged by that. lol. But the post-credit... maybe...? - The Mind Flayer was absolutely disgusting (in a good way), and was shockingly gross. It reminded me of a combination of the Thing and the Blob. Going back to the 80s references, this fits perfectly with what they probably envisioned it to be, being that the Thing and the the Blob were 80s horrors - So happy to see the Demi-Gorgon. That was a fun end. The end seemed so final pre credits, that you just knew there had to be something more.
