I remember watching the first season with my wife. We were spending the night at a relatives and he asked, have you ever seen "stranger things"? I told him we've never heard of it. He put it on, planning on watching an episode or two. We binged watched the whole season that night. It sucked us in. What was the monster? A demon? Was it the little girl? What's up w will? Totally sucked us in. Season two was good but not as great. Season three was a little far fetched, unbelievable, off track I guess. From the trailer it looks like it's totally gone off the rails, in a bad way. It looks like a spy movie now or something. It's definitely lost that "unsolved mysteries" feel, big time. And that's what sucked me in. It's not dark and gloomy, monsters and d&d. It's russia. It's bright (not dark). And the kids sorta annoy me now. We'll see. It'd be a shame if it just got worse and worse. It WAS such an awesome show. We'll see.....
