I just started watching season 1 and I heard it's the best one. I hung in there till about half-way, just cause the series had such high ratings, but somewhere around the 5th episode I couldn't take it anymore.

Of course I kind of want to know what happened to Will Byers, but the search for the missing kid is filled with lame, half-a** teenage drama between characters like Nancy, Steve and Jonathan who I'm not even half interested in. This is all to lead us away from the fact that the plot is completely empty and it seems as though they filmed the series without any plan whatsoever.

Unfortunately the lame conversations between hollow characters that lack personality are worsened even further by the terrible acting of almost all the actors involved, with the exception perhaps of two of the kids.

The character of Eleven is a true killer, in the worst way possible, especially because, even though she seems to speak English very well, she doesn't really speak and just keeps a blank stare on her face the entire time.

So if you'd like to watch about 7 hours of endless good-for-nothing screaming and drama, this series is for you!
