Things that are good about this show:
sci fi
the 80s setting, as much as the 80s were terrible I love all the toys, the cars , the hair and the proper names.


well written yet slightly cringey dialog between the children
David harbour
Winona rider
the monster designs


Bad things:


The seasons are varied, the first season was a great bit of weirdness, season 2 was not as good, season 3 picked up a bit, season 4 was worse and ended on a cliff hanger clearly as part one of the two parted finale. If you ask me that's just squeezing money out of an empty tooth paste tube.

Overall enjoyable. I like Millie Bobby brown, David harbour and Winona rider so the main leads have big ticks from me. It is slightly dark but still very safe. Could be a lot more twisted and different.

8.0/10 from me.
