It's a one and done. It's enjoyable but not something you'll reflect upon after you've watched it.
If you like Stephen King and 80s-style movie conventions, you'll definitely find something to like. It's a show that doesn't take a lot of risks and instead goes for invoking feelings of nostalgia. It's very comfortable to watch and if you're in the mood for a throwback, it's great. There's nothing major to complain about in terms of production or execution and it aptly accomplishes what it set out to do: to be an entertaining 80s-themed sci-fi thriller.
If you're looking for something deeper than that, you might be disappointed. It's very straightforward and seldom subverts expectations. And that's totally fine. But it's not a masterpiece like some seem to claim.
