It took them ten fucking hours to tell the story of the first 26 pages of this comic book.
EDIT after S2: Well, at least this season went places, could've done with less moping.

Too much of a pastiche to be terribly enjoyable. You can see every story beat coming a mile away. Good acting and the nailed 80s-look helps to some extent. The score ain't bad either.
Update after S2:
This just overcame it's nostalgic trappings to become a show about childhood. Also, this is like if Phantasm 1 was a bad movie but Phantasm 2 was still Phantasm 2. Just wow. Upping to 4 stars.
Update after S3:
S3 of Stranger Things was good. About as good as S2. I didn't like the first one. Glad to see it keeping up the pace of being more about fun character bits and gory horror comedy than "oh look we had this in the 80s". On that particular note though, the ending is probably the best written thing in the entirety of that series and gives a promise that I really hope they keep because damn they kinda have a mid-credits scene that already fucks it up a bit.
