Second season definitely felt a little rushed. Considering they had to change the ending of the original to even create a second season you can see the results. It was still well done and had a great feel but definitely not as solid as the first season.

I also think part of this is a lot of people involved are highly sought after and tied to other projects. As much as I enjoy the show I hope it doesn't drag on and lose all context to the beginning.

I can't think of where to take the storyline that will work very well... but hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised.
The show runners or someone in that group has definitively said they will end the series at season 4. Which is great news imo, they have mapped out a satisfying storyline

Feels like they are going for a "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" vibe this season.

Not necessarily a bad vibe IMO. I happened to be flipping channels and ended up watching it again not long ago and it's actually aged surprisingly well.

at least a couple of these "kids" were probably shaving five o'clock shadow for the evening shoots.

That trailer screamed "please put me out of my misery". This show needs to end.

Seems like pretty much everybody else is excited. 667k likes, 5k dislikes, almost 12M views already.

Surely nobody is going to force you to watch it?

I get that not every show is universally loved but as one of the few shows these days you can actually sit and enjoy as a family I feel it's hard to be overly critical even if it's not your cup of tea. It's like hating on Toy Story as it's almost spiteful.

though I still enjoyed many individual moments, last season's story of "Eleven hangs out with a bunch of strangers for one episode and comes back with the power of anger" didn't do it for me.

I'm hopeful they've got much more inventive ways of using her and the rest of the gang this time around. Stranger Things always pushes the nostalgia factor to its limits, but the mall setting is gonna be a lot of fun for those of us that were around in those days.

What gave it away? The "We're not kids anymore" line?

I think it was that one kid who looks like he's my height now, but with a squarer jawline and bigger adam's apple.

Not as bad as Derry Girls, where they are supposed to be teens but the actors are all 25+.

No, thats believable. The harsh climate and culture of 'hard living' of Northern Ireland severely weathers how people look.

25 year olds would look nearly 60 to the untrained eye.

Looks pretty sweet. I really liked last season minus that one episode with 11 and that new girl with powers which was really poorly done. All the stuff in Hawkins was awesome

I think they were trying to show that powers besides 11's exist, without having to have characters with powers living in the vicinity, that they would actually have to explain outcomes about later on. It also leaves the door open to some kind of spin off or expanded universe.

Pointless from the perspective of this show though.
