Personally I think it's a tiny bit overrated. Don't get me wrong, I really liked it but sometimes I just don't understand IMBD users. A show like this usually gets 5 out of 10 because it was predictable and the acting was bitter sweet (meaning some actors were astonishing and others awful). But it's still a very good show. The first season was a little more dark and intriguing then the second season which is probably what attracted all those fans. Season 2 had a slower pace and more humour. The action started during the last 4 episodes. I really enjoy those 80s vibe, that's probably my favourite aspect of the show. I guess what bothers me is the acting coming from Heaton (plays Jonathan Byers). Maybe I would have enjoyed that character more if the actor behind it wasn't a drug Addict. It's a real shame to be honest. Sometimes they overdramatize the script I find, particularly, Will Byers's in season 2 when he described his episodes. Other then that, I find it's a very entertaining show and I fell in love with Dustin, Steve, Eleven and many other great actors. Even if I find the show overrated and not phenomenal, I'm still anticipating for the next seasons. Hopefully they'll improve.
