I don't mean this to be offensive, just matter-of-fact: I almost feel sorry for those who weren't around in the '80s who are watching the show. Me, I was around the same age as the kids in the show at the time, and the show is SO spot-on that it almost hits me in my DNA. Most '80s kids feel the same way.
Yeah, it's great series, and anyone can enjoy it, but man, if you were there, it puts you right back there. It's a rush.
Anyone been watching this on Netflix?
Great 80's vibe. If you were alive then (I wasn't) I'm sure you'll catch some of the references. It's a sci fi/thriller/horror like Alien/ET with a good dose of Stephen King thrown in for good measure. Brilliantly acted too with a lot of young actors who really knock it out of the park.
I just finished episode 4 (it's an 8 episode season) and loving it. Can't binge watch it like I normally do on Netflix show because of it's creepyness, need to spread the episodes out!!
Lol, my wife and I watched the first four episodes last night. We're hooked.Anyone been watching this on Netflix?

The scientific premise of the upside-down sounds like some crackpot interpretation of the "many worlds" theory using a mathematical inverse. Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The Matrix with an even younger cast.

I can understand wanting them to be shorter if you only signed on for just a normal episode's length at the end of the day (a full movie's length is quite an investment at the end of every weekday). But I also think that this kind of thinking is anachronistic, especially for millenials and gen z'ers. Unlike the eighties and nineties, you can push pause and pick it up the next day. Also, I think that if a self contained chapter should take place in an hour and twenty minutes versus the standard 45 minutes (one hour when you add in the commercials), then it should, since holding to 45 minutes is itself an anachronism.It's back.
There's a lot in the new episodes. Maybe too much. Wish they had been shorter.
1.5 years between seasons would do it. Remember when it was three months?We enjoyed season 1 but they lost us early in season 2, can’t remember why.
The dialogue is getting bad. They spend all this time getting retro props but then they ruin it by having the dialogue sound 2020s instead of 1980s
