Stranger Things (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4574334/?ref_=nv_sr_1) series was released this weekend on Netflix.
Good monster-mystery series. :)
Ended up binge watching the damn thing over a couple days.
My daughter was raving about it this morning after being up until 4 watching it.
I've watched Episode 1. Not bad. I'll watch Episode 2.
Damn you people
I binged it. Pretty good. I wasn't a big viewer of the material from the '80s that these guys riffed off of but still caught enough things to make it fun. Worth a look. Better than a lot of things I've seen this year.
a local buddy of mine is over-the-top gaga over it
It's an enjoyable monster flick. Errr.. series.
Interesting beastie situation without ridiculous jump-scare filmography so overused in most modern horror movies. The main characters consist mostly of the kids, so it has a bit of that Goonies vibe.
I'd say more, but I'm not going to spoil anything.
It's on my list too. Though, I've started to watch Wayward Pines online; now that is some creepy, weird stuff.
My wife and I got hooked on this quickly. We watched 4 episodes in 2 days. Sort of a cross between:
X-Files
Sixteen Candles
Goonies
Watchers a book by Dean Koontz.
we went nuts for it a few weeks ago and watched the whole thing in a week

Once I got into it I was hooked, too, and watched the entire thing in a few days.
Now I'm on Colony.
My daughter hooked me into this , damn kid ;D couldn't stop watching it , binge watched over a few nights . Really thought Winona Ryder did a great job , but I think she's a good actress anyway :)
And eleven , wow , she's definately an up and coming star I think !
Loved it , can't wait for series two .
We finished it. It was excellent.

Season 2 trailer is up!
:o WANT SEE NOW!!!
Erm...I missed this one until my daughter was raving about the second one coming out.
Just watched Season 1 in a day...bloody good, excellent acting from the kids, great story and great 80s vide going on. Lots borrowed from lots of shows but extremely well done.
I love this show.
Season 2 is out now here in the USA. Last night I watched the last 2 eps of S1 to get back up to speed. Will be watching at least 1-2 eps of S2 tonight.
I'm stuck until Monday/Tuesday watching with the wife. She's got to take Bayonet Jr down to Charleston for a pair of soccer games, which means I have to wait till she gets back to watch.
Which is OK, b/c there's 2 more World Series games for the Astros to win :)

Looking forward to checking it out, myself! O0
Both seasons watched in a weekend. Very good O0
JD, do you think the 2nd season is as good as the first?
Loving it loving it loving it up to ep4

No - but I still really enjoyed it
One thing that bugged me. The friggin disconnec with the Indian girl, Kali. Waaaaay too long to introduce her and even then she played such a minimal tropey part of the story
Maybe she's a setup for season 3?
My wife and I just finished season 2, watching most of the episodes over the weekend. We thought season 2 was pretty good, but maybe they should end the show now.

Yeah.
Perhaps they should've gone with a different cast, storyline, location, etc with a similar theme. Like the
Fargo series, for example. I think that would be better for quality in the long run.
Such as various other things/themes from "the upside down" or wotnot, elsewhere. In slightly different time periods.
we just finished S2, and enjoyed it
watching the kids awkwardly struggle thru early teenage years was particularly endearing, given what my son's going thru
I think they may be over-expanding the cast a little rapidly, though
Well, they also pruned back a little.

one, the very definition of a 'little'
They had some credit left over from season 1.
There's only so many times will can get possessed, disappeared or spooky before the other 3 are like 'fk that, stay at home weirdo you're out of the club'
