They should stop now.
- I kinda agree. I think the should stay in the same town but use a new cast but keep the bully, sheriff, and a few others. Or go with a brand new story entirely.SteveJobs
- or... continue going.. really.
you got nothing to loose, if it's bad you stop watching, if its better you continue, NOTHING TO LOOSE really...Miguex - If you think it's gone as far as it can go then just stop watching.microkorg
- They're stopping at 5 seasons.i_monk
- I'm actually I'm one of the few, apparently, that actually like the 2nd season more. just skeptical that there's more good story left for this cast.SteveJobs
- also would like to just see other stories. keeping focus on the 4 boys and eleven is kinda limited.SteveJobs

Also, small personal theory of mine. I think they got the idea of making Demo-dogs from this Snoopy Demogorgon
They saw this and thought, huh, smaller version would be cool, kinda like Alien, when they mixed Alien with a dog.
Just a thought.

- Biggest let down of the season was not paying off this character.DRIFTMONKEY
- What would the pay off be? Him nailing Dr. Faye Miller from madmen?
I assume he's gonna be a key player in the next season.sofakingback

Step,
I came here 30 minutes into episode 1 to say the same thing: the constant and overt 80's nostalgia is super distracting. I don't remember the first season being this way. Too many scenes appear to exist for the sake of playing a cool 80's hit song. I hope it decreases a bit quickly.

It's pretty much The Gate, amirite guise????

just finished watching 2nd season last night with the wife and kids.
we loved it.
I think overall, the first season was a bit stronger...but that said, we all thought the story and direction was pretty on point for this season.
we all knew that probably the main point was the reuniting of 11 and mikey....and there was a lot of build up to that....and it was worth it.... when she walked in all bad-ass....the reunion was great.
also of note was the strong team work of Dustin and Steve.... I think that was done very well....over all.... it was damn fun to watch....

a satisfactory second season.
some good, some not so good moments.
think they are going have to go up a gear for the next season.- spoiler comments ->Bluejam

Not finished it, but I'm enjoying the second series so far. Even if it's not as good as the first.
Then again, Stranger Things at its worst is still head and shoulders above the best of many of shows (I'm looking at you, Star Trek: Discovery).

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
- so many times "we didnt use CGI for this shot" and I know for a fact that thye have!mugwart

I was exactly the same age as the kids are in1984. It adds a little more glory to the nostalgia.
One criticism: Winona - your concerned parent screeching and wailing gets boring VERY quickly.
