Don't misunderstand me. This TV series is by no means bad. But it is definitely not worth more than 6 stars. By all means, it has its merits. There is good acting, good special effects, and the children are not at all annoying. But what really ground my gears was the uneven pacing. There are entire episodes when nothing noteworthy happens and the plot does not progress at all. I mean this TV series has only eight episodes to begin with but it still was a huge effort to watch it all because of all the tedious bits. Additionally, the plot is extremely predictable. There were a few twists and revelations on the way but they were never surprising and you could actually see them from a mile away. At first I was intrigued by all the mystery around eleven at the beginning of the show, but her background and her connection to the other dimension became clear rather quickly. Some people might like it because of all the throw- backs to the 80s, but not being a child from this era, I did not feel nostalgic about that, but others might enjoy the show due to exactly these references. Furthermore, the story had the potential to be really scary but apart from the odd jump-scare you will not get frightened at all. So, in my opinion, it was really quite boring and I will not watch the second season.
