Anyone watching this? I've read good things about it. Watched the first couple of episodes and it didn't really grab me. Maybe it gets better. Should I give it another look?

All i'll say is this, it is worth checking out. In my opinion anyway. I mean hey, you don't like it, you don't like it. Look at it like food, at least try it once. I'm not one to say that though. I avoided The Force Awakens like a hawk due to the hype. So you may want to ignore this post.

I've not watched this either yet but I plan to. Surprised you've not, Tweek, I've heard a few comparisons to Twin Peaks.

I'm up to episode 5. So far so good.
Finished them. Not bad. Ends on a cliffhanger. Bring on Season 2!

Yep. The Upside Down thing reminds me of Silent Hill.

Do you mean recent pictures? 'Cause they haven't aged well. Just sayin'.

nope. just fake images of them in general.
What happened to them? Did they use too many drugs together? They're only 30 right now.
I see they were fine as hell 12 years ago when they were 18. Some movie I never saw or heard of called 'New York Minute'.
Anyway, I still wouldn't kick them (or their younger sister Scarlet Witch) out of bed for eating crackers.

Hey now, I fell for their crap in the 90's. But now, all of the Olsen girls look way too bug eyed for me. If they were in my bed, I would hide under it. The monsters are much more attractive.

I stand by that. They are the stuff of nightmares. At least now. BUT! Times change. I admitted that I liked them once. I'll take D.J. Tanner now. I couldn't stand her in the 90's though.
But i'll keep Full House in The Upside Down. Back to Stranger Things.
How bout that Barb?

Yep. The Upside Down thing reminds me of Silent Hill. I second that. Reminded me of the movie version of SH with a little bit of Shattered Memories.

Finally got around to binge watching season 2. Not as good as season 1. But pretty entertaining. Enjoyed all the 80s music they used.

You posted the Stranger Things Season 2 thread in the off-the-beaten-path section instead of here in the basement. Strange .. So that's why I couldn't find it. I moved the thread to the Basement where it belongs.
