I thought season 2 was better than season 1. My only gripe is episode 7, not because it was bad episode but it killed the momentum that the season was building.
I thought the episode was necessary but it's placement was all wrong.

I really enjoyed this season, and find it a great companion to season 1. Season 1 left the audience and characters with almost as many questions as answers. Season 2 fills in all the mysteries hanging on at the end of season 1, and gave the characters and audience a happy ending, with just an inkling that there will be more evil to come. It left us just a few questions to ponder like is Dr. Brenner really alive and how many numbered kids are still out there?
I do like that they went a bit lighter on the nostalgia throughout this season without completely eliminating it, but then the dance at the end went full bore John Hughes without apology. I was half expecting a teenage Anthony Michael Hall and Molly Ringwald to come out and start dancing with them all. I don't think that's a bad thing in the right proportion through the season overall, and it was, for me, just right.

I just finished watching season 2. Absolute perfection! That is how you make an 80's scifi/horror show. Great story, great characters, great acting and perfect retro vision of the 80's.

Finished it last night. My initial reaction is, "Fuck yeah!" Lots of great character development this year. The stuff between Hopper and 11, 11 and Mike, and Steve and the kids was gold! Max was pretty damn funny, especially when she kept referring to Lucas as Stalker. I hope Billy gets a bigger role next year. I think he is a great secondary villain. Very similar to Henry Bowers. Same, I loved all the scenes he was in. His intro cracked me up. The scene with Billy and Mike's Mom was hilarious. |

The kid who plays Billie plays an extremely unlikable character very well. |

Certain times i think hes great, even when hes being a jerk, he can be charming and likeable. His scene with Mrs Wheeler was a perfect example, and who didn't feel bad for him during the scene with his dad. But then he goes all psycho and is easy to loathe. He brilliantly flip flops between scenes. |

Just finished season 2 and I loved it. I didn't think it was that bad, but I could've done without episode 7. That episode could've been executed a lot better. But besides that this was a non-stop rollercoaster ride that imo might just be better than season one. The two best things about it were the performances and the character development. The performances by both the child actors and the adults are so good. The new characters introduced are great (Bob, Max, Billy) and the character development of the characters from season one was very well done (especially Steve).

It's no surprise but the show has been officially renewed for season 3. I can't wait. I totally love this show.

I would say to anyone desperate to get more Stranger Things vibes, give a chance to the German Netflix show Dark.
Missing kids, check. Suspicious corporate goings on tied to weird science, check. Unexplained paranormal stuff going on in a small town, check. A great big mystery that we only learn about in small doses, check. And at least some of the time, 80's stuff.
The show isn't kid-centric and isn't trying to riff on every 80's horror or science fiction movie ever made, but it has a lot of the material that drew people to Stranger Things. Only three or four episodes in, but loving it.
