    Completed it last night (thank you Kodi), and it was very good. Not great (West Wing, sopranos, etc) but good and satisfying.

    Best of all it had a beginning, middle and an end. Unlike so many programmes these days that like to leave the story dangling.

    Still not sure what Hop was doing in the woods, but I am sure all will be revealed later.

    Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

    Episode 6 was as great as I had hoped.
    Disappointed to find that I only have 2 episodes to go.
    I can easily see myself watching (and thoroughly enjoying) the whole series again

    Watched the last two today - excellent. One obvious and one potential link to the next series. Can't wait.

    Watched - or binged to be more precise - the whole series over the weekend. Really enjoyed it: somebody else said it, but it was like a cross between the Goonies and X Files. The original score was also brilliant.

    Just finished watching it and even my youngest son loved it and he normally avoids these types of series completely.

    So when do we get series 2? Can it ever be as good as the incredible first series?

    LOL so have I. I've got a partner in crime for Series 2 as my soon to be 14 year old daughter watched S1 recently and is hooked.

    I've only watched it once, at the end of last year...I was a late starter 😂

    Just started this 3 episodes in, in one session, brilliant. Well worth a watch if you haven't yet

    Surely the season 2 poster and the first frame of the trailer which I haven't pressed play on is a spoiler for Season 1? I've not finished Season 1 yet so no idea if it is or not and please don't confirm

    Apparently Stranger Things 2 begins on Netflix on the 27th October.

    It's the final trailer so don't watch if you want it all to be new!

    Totally understand, as I am tempted. However, as I enjoyed the first series soooooo much, I am happy to wait.

    There's a nice little Android/ios game that's free to download if you want to waste a few hours - not challenging but enjoyable - about 7-8 hours play

    Aside from that, the show is pretty cool.

    According to IMDB

    Millie Brown was born in Spain, to British parents. They moved to Orlando, Florida in 2011, where Millie went to acting workshops to pass the time on a Saturday, and it was there that a top Hollywood talent scout called and told Millie's parents that "she has instincts you cannot teach." She advised Millie's parents that Millie could "mix it with the best kids in Hollywood." They packed up and drove from Orlando to Los Angeles, and within a week, Millie was meeting with the town's top children's talent agencies. She was offered representation by all the agents that she met. Within three months of being in Hollywood, Millie was offered the role of young Alice in ABC's Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (2013). In November 2013, after just one self-taped audition, and without meeting the producers/directors, Millie was offered the role of Madison O'Donnell in BBC America's show, "Intruders."

    Started watching Season 2.
    In 3 nights watched 5 episodes.
    I really doubted that they would match the superb original, but for me, this is even better.
    Superb viewing.

    I felt it was a little derivative in parts.

    I just wish it’d had a little more originality, that’s all.

    Cheers for this thread, I binge-watched both seasons last weekend, was very good - so many 80's references. :)

    Managed another episode last night (6).
    Excellent TV, absolutely gripping. Tons of twists and turns, and a hundred questions still need answers!

    After reading this thread my wife and I decided to give this a go after the putting the kids to bed, What a mistake! 5 episodes in we decide not to watch another one and go to bed way too late. We both loved it (rare) and I can't wait for tonight.

    The 80s'ness of it is just fantastic
