'tis good. Not a materpiece of course.

it's no more derivative than most genre shows, it just wears its influences on its sleeve

It's good, feels like a comic book/manga plus Amblin film.

How to make this show 1000x better
>Make Nancy the kid's brother (Can't remember his name)
>Make Jonathan an older friend of his
Half this show is a terrible 'relationship' between these two characters that was not needed and made the story much worse.

AND WE WILL PUNCH NAZIS IN THE FACE

we can be heroes

just for one day

9/10 show, well worth watching. i'd give it a 10 if it wasn't for the fucking epilepsy shit

it's nothing mind blowing but it's fun

It's shit and overrated. It's also about 5 episodes too long.

>>82658316
extremely overrated and forgettable normie shit but not entirely bad

It's a great show but it sadly can't be mentioned on /tv/ without summoning Finn posters.

>>82658886
No, I'm a different bot.

>>82658547
Jesus christ that was shit, I hope you aren't trying for a future in writing

>>82658316

it's worth watching if you've got nothing else to do. it's nothing groundbreaking but it's entertaining enough for a watch. the nostalgia pandering isn't as bad as some people here imply it is.

Where are the skeletonfu posters

>>82658316
Preety good, not a 10/10 but it's a good idea, well acted and decently written

>>82659063
How so? It doesn't change the story in the slightest. Nancy would be looking for her brother and Jonathan looking for his somewhat friend. Had they made Jonathan the friend's sibling and Nancy the sister, it would have been much better. Jonathan would have been 'looked up to' by everybody else and have some connection to them, so he would feel obligated to look for him. You're a retard if you can't see that.

Derivative, sure. But what the fuck isn't these days?
I say go for it. It's far from the worst thing on netflix these days

>>82659186
If I watched the show with your ideas implemented I would hate it so much more, never make a stupid ass suggestion like this again

>>82659349
As I said at the end, "You're a retard if you can't see that."

>>82659414
>calls people retards because they don't like his horrible rewrites

You have serious mental problems

>>82659456
And I bet you'd have her fuck Jonathan. Fuck off, you autist.

>>82659490
I'm not a moron who tries and fails miserably to "fix" shows so stop projecting on me you mongoloid

First 4 episodes and the building of suspense were a masterstroke, the episodes that followed weren't that great but were still respectable.

I want a show with the cop doing with shit way above his pay grade.
I don't care if it's been done a hundred times.

It's pretty good. It got a lot right about experiences dealing with astral projection (I speak from experience, and no I don't browse /x/), and had real world consequences in the U.S. Department of Energy that we know thanks to one of the Markay brothers FOIA'ing them.

http://gizmodo.com/documents-reveal-stranger-things-really-freaked-out-the-1787500314

I also get a kick out of seeing /tv/ misinterpret and blow up one of the season's ending scenes (when a certain character gets into a black car). Growing up in Florida near a Department of Energy plant next to a large body of water I found some of the choices in their storytelling eerily on point.

>>82658316
She looks like a girl in high school I used to ditch and get high with

Its a good show but I don't like the Sheriff, he's a try-hard tough guy

Eleven is super cute

>>82658316

Very solid. Feels like a high quality horror/adventure throwback.

>>82659661
That's basically what he did.
Though he was a bit too "together" the whole time but I guess I just went with the assumption he was a regular city cop but now that I think of it he might just be an ex-spook given how he knew everyone's tricks already.

Also Dr. Badman was a pretty shit tier at his cover up.

>>82660176
>smol

I see another tumblr meme has made its way here

>>82660238
'Ex-spook moves to small town to get away from it all but it follows him' is great too. I kinda figured the same, he seemed a little to familiar with everything.

>>82658952
It's good to see my wife and my mistress getting along

>>82660418
Jesus Christ that dancing.

I love em both but damn thats cringey but its okay their kids.

>>82659186
Why though? I don't see what's gained. You'd also completely have to rewrite Joyce as well. Jon's character works so much better as a guy forced to fill in for his shitty absentee dad.

>>82658755
This. I feel like it was moving too slowly but other than that it was good

Millie looks normal but the other girl is going full autismo

It's got some good parts. I wouldn't say it's bad on any level.

If anything it'll give you some common ground with normies at work who still won't watch Dune despite how many times I recommend it.

>>82658316
It's alright. Highly overrated but good nonetheless.
It's worth a watch.

why is anoncap such a pleb?

>>82658316
Derivative but the atmosphere makes up for it.

>>82661536
The atmosphere IS derivative as well.
I think it's more the fact they atleast do interesting things with the homages they're making.
It's a mash up of Alien/ET/IT etc but they're not playing it 100% straight in any of the homages.
The "Xenomorph" isn't some unstoppable force when they got their shit together and got rocked by a couple of teenagers with a good plan.
"ET" was a good girl but she was also a legitimate threat and the government had deeper motives to want her rather than "she's different and that's spooky"

There's a lot of Stephen King stuff in it too (evidenced even by the logo itself)

I like the show

it pissed me off that they used this song though, which was much better utilized in The Sopranos

>>82658316

it's well made and watchable but ultimately forgettable, the very definition of a 6/10

>>82658316
Great kids show, but yeah, it borrows a looot from other movies and it may annoy old moviegoers who saw this stuff before.
Also ending is weak.
Still 7/10 for me

>>82663350
Weak b8
the references are for the old moviegoers to enjoy, if you didn't watch the movies they borrow from it becomes a lesser experience

4/10 made me reply

>>82663633
Bait?
What you call homage i call a cheap rip off and lack of originality.
I dont mind one or two nods to another movie or tv series, but Stranger Things bases its entire plot threads around it which ultimately detracts form the show itself.
Pretty sure most of the fans of this show are teens and younger viewers, myself i had hard time finding enjoyment in it by the last 2 episodes.

that girl was so fucking skinny

it bothered me everytime she was on

>>82658316
>I heard it's nothing but derivative.
This is mostly true, but it's a fun watch anyway.

Reddit meme fucking garbage like this is why I tell people I never watched it. I once got stuck in a conversation with a guy who wouldn't shut up about the Upside down and how it's all derived from some Lovecraft shit and then started talking about blood rituals.

I fucking hate this show.

>>82664674
If you let fandoms ruin something for you then I'm surprised you can find anything to enjoy.

>>82664735
It's why I only watch things nerds hate.

>>82658316
It's not derivative, the plot it's its own thing. There's plenty of homagery going on, but mostly in style and some visual references, without losing its own identity.

on the contrary, if you like spielberg/carpenter and stuff its for the best. worrying about it not being that "original" is dumb. everything is borrowed. its like music, someone probably played those chords already dude, you don't invent shit.

its short and stylish, has a great cast and anyway i feel that even if its strongly inspired by stuff, its still "had its own lane" and filled a niche that other things weren't at this time. originally it was winona that compelled me to watch it, but it would stand up even without her.

>>82658456

>>82658316
It's pretty good and simple.
It's not kino and it doesn't try to be.
Has some plot holes and stuff but it is interesting enough to keep watching.
It's a shitty kids b movie turned into a neato show.

Eh, her insanely shitty acting was the one thing that made me want to drop Stranger Things despite the great 80's feels.

I hope they get her to do more of those drugs she did at the award show next time they shoot, at least she was amusing when high.

No. Her shitty attempt at 'freaked out' was cringe-worthy, it was made even more cringe-worthy by the fact that everyone else on the show could act.

Come to think of it, could she ever act ? It's not as if she ever had any demanding parts.

It's really sad that people are watching this or JJA Abrams bullshit like Super 8 because of Amblin nostalgia, meanwhile new Spielberg or Zemeckis films like War Horse, BFG, The Walk, etc. which have far more soul and talent are flopping left and right.

If you want to see a TV show with the Amblin spirit and quality, watch Amazing Stories which was recently remasted in blu-ray. A pulp fiction anthology show with episodes directed by Spielberg, Zemeckis, Dante, Eastwood, Scorsese, Kershner, Brad Bird, music by John Williams... I assure you 99% of people who watched Stranger Things due to the Netflix propaganda brainwashing machine have never even heard of it before.

It's watchable but completely overrated and wanks itself off far too much.It's an overused term but when I think Reddit: the TV show, it's literally this.Everyone involved is completely up the show's arse and the media's constant gushing over the show doesn't help.They really act like it's an important cultural movement when really it's just a fairly amusing show that wears it's influences (a little too) proudly on it's sleeve.
