'Stranger Things' On Netflix - AMAZING!
I broke this out of the Netflix thread because this has to be one of the BEST things I have seen on Netflix EVER! I just finished the entire season and wow, just wow! It is a sci-fi/supernatural thriller that is incredibly incredibly well done in the genre of the 80s masterpieces. Think of a dark and suspenseful blend of X-Files, Stephen Kings IT, Stephen Spielberg's ET, Super 8 and throw in a bit of The Goonies.
Here is the IMDB Synopsis of "Stranger Things", they did a MUCH better job at describing the show than me:
In a small town where everyone knows everyone, a peculiar incident starts a chain of events that leads to the disappearance of a child - which begins to tear at the fabric of an otherwise peaceful community. Dark government agencies and seemingly malevolent supernatural forces converge on the town, while a few locals begin to understand that there's more going on than meets the eye.
I had heard about this show from a friend but didn't expect much, boy was I wrong. From the production value, the writing, the casting; everything makes it feel more like a long form movie than a simple show. It has an astounding 9.2 out of 10 rating on IMDB and a 93% critic and 97% audience score on RottenTomatoes. The show is so good that it is almost guaranteed to get a second season, though I am wondering where and how they will take it.Last edited by PedroDaGr8; 07-24-2016 at 08:41 PM.

Just started the first show, then had to run out. Finishing it in a few minutes. We're hooked just halfway through that one show!

Watching it now, looks pretty good AND it's in 4K.
Cool as a rule, but sometimes bad is bad.

I was good. I'd give it an 8 stars on a 10 scale. Sort of like watching Goonies, Alien, Signs and Fargo all at the same time.

Re: 'Stranger Things' On Netflix - AMAZING!
This show turned me, ahem, upside down.
Loved it. Felt like he 80's, great story, and just freaky enough to keep me interested. Read yesterday that a chacarcter we might not expect back will likely be back. Maybe more than one.
