Stranger Things Season 2 Review! (SPOILERS)

it isn't as interesting to watch as X-Files but the acting is consistently good so it's watchable.

I did enjoy Sean Astin's role and funny Goonies reference but the show is a bit too repetitive for the most part and Max although a good actress was a rather pointless character. Her step brother or whatever was a much stronger character than her though his flirting with the married housewife was too predictable and silly.

Season 2 is merely good. Season 1 was a masterpiece, it was the show nobody knew they needed in their lives. The original charm, ambience and vision felt missing at times, writing was questionable and it's shaping up to be a really bad cheesy xmen knock off.

They could &should have edited the Heroes-like Sister episode completely out -- it was utterly out of place and disruptive. They could have woven in the sister and all the same lessons (minus the horrible yoda session with the fkn train car) into the usual 5min per episode, and never introduced the idiotic derivative side characters, hokey "honorable revenge criminals" face-palm. Had she just disappeared and came back, deleting that episode entirely, the entire season would have been better for it. Again I say, "Heroes" -- specifically all seasons after S1.

Let this be the last season. It cannot withstand any more such experiments. Go out still carrying a solid 8.5 to 9.

Definitely lived up to expectations for me as all the new characters were oustanding and everything was bigger, more cinematic, and more exciting. Sean Astin does an outstanding job and even Paul Reiser puts in a fantastic performance. Plus I loved the pairings of 11 and the Chief and Dustin & Steve.

I absolutely love these characters so I don't mind the character driven episodes in the very beginning. In fact, I enjoyed them almost as much as I did the story driven episodes. They wanted to show how Season 1 had effected each charcter and what that baggage was doing to their lives. The people that realy love these characters will have no problem with the initial episodes and each episode just gets better and better and the stakes just get raised higher and higher with each new episode. I scored season 1 a 10/10 and I would score season 2 a 9.5/10. Definitely no sophomore slump for this show.

This is my favorite show the last 2 years running. Cant wait for S3 and am hoping they take it to S4, although that remains to be seen. Am hoping for 4 and out with this show.

I watched mad about you great show Murray was the best :)

I'm leaning towards Dr. Brenner using 012 (or another super kid) to contact the mind flayer. El may have been his most promising subject but he definitely had a plan B. I think he'll push the next kid too far and the mind flayer will take over a kid with powers. Then the kid will either try to reopen the rift, or force El into doing it (maybe kidnapping Mike). Come on... bad ass psychic power battle between El and the mind flayer (possessing another kid) who doesn't want to see that!

Definitely not up to season 1.

First 4 episodes easily could be fit to episode one. Only in episode 4 the train start moving. Season 2 lacks tension building and dramatization overall. The lore was predictable and shallow with many mistakes.

The upside down - so well made in season 1, in season 2 was limited to only few caves, really ?

Another new character - Max had a nice intro but after finishing the show I remained puzzled what was her purpose in it.

Season 1 I personally would rate 10/10, but season 2 - 6.5 at best. How much season 2 was enjoyable probably sums up that during the show I was reading news on the internet.
