    I've noticed that there are two types of writers after a colossal success. Those that are terrified of their 'responsibility' and those that get confident.
    I find the ones that are rather terrified make better follow ups and the ones with egos fall into ego formulaic plot driven.

    This is sadly what this became. I love the cast, love the actoring but this really lacked flare and imagination of the first. It's falling into so many of it's own pitfalls - literary in this sense!

    This show set it self up for an amazing 'ghost buster' theme "dont cross" the stream ending but didn't. Everything was so convenient. I hope the brothers pull their heads out their arses and make the follow up epic. Stranger Things well into so many hearts in the first season...

    Rant at an end!

    • Duffers started writing season 02 before season 01 was released, so as to not be influenced by audience expectation or review.robthelad
    • ^ really? Wow - didn't feel like that. Might also explain over confidence...this defiantly was too much ego in this writing.mugwart
    • Yeah, they mentioned it in one of the "after show shows"robthelad
    • but normally they say that when they haven't. I dont trust those after shows.mugwart
