Plays a lot on 80's nostalgia and if you were a kid then, on that too :D

The musical score and cinematography go with it 80's style as well.

Episode 3 so far, and it has an X-Files like intrigue to it. I can't say yet if it's very good or not, but it's entertaining although some things are a bit cheesy, like how Wynona Rider plays and some plot devices.

We finished the show last week-end in 4K (there goes our bandwidth cap).

I can recommend it to teens or young adults, especially if you haven't seen E.T., The Goonies, IT, Stand by Me, etc... [no spoilers in there].

As for me, the show is OK as entertainment, but nothing as gripping as, say, Narcos, for instance.

Wynona Ryder is cheesy. Millie Bobby Brown is amazing though. If she doesn't burn out, she'll be a great actress one day.

And overall I found the story and its treatment a little too inspired by too many things I have already seen for it to be original. Some of the CGI is too obvious in 4K as well.
