Will add more stuff to the OP asap.

Marathoned the entire show two days ago, it lived up to the hype for me. Fun, exciting and all around adorable. <3

Thanks for starting. I've only seen the first two episodes. Its a bit odd and slow at times, but there are definitely things I like. I like the mystery aspect of the show of course. I like that it revolves around young kids because I think that's a unique view point... it weirdly kind of reminds me of ET somehow.

Is it supposed to be set in the 70's or 80's?

Barb is great. Tumblr loves her so there are lots of cute arts.

I love this one:

Not weirdly, all references are on purpose. ET, Goonies (which I love, so it's basically what sold me on the show right from the beginning), Poltergeist, Alien, Predator... there are so many I'm not sure I remember (or know) them all.

And yes, it's set in 80s, they show the date on the first episode, November 83.

I was actually reminded of the movie Stand By Me while watching this series.

^ It's one of the references as well.

Sweet movie but for some reason, I've always found it pretty depressing.

OMG thank you, I was searching for a thread for this awesome show, just finished binge watching in a day!

I'm completely in love with the cast, they're very talented especially Millie Brown. My favorite scene is probably

It is pretty depressing, and it feels very nostalgic. It reminded me of ET.

I found it more bittersweet than depressing but I can see why you would feel that way. One of the few adaptions from Stephen King that actually was quite decent.

It's a great movie, for sure.

Do we need to use spoilers tags? Since all episodes have been out for 2 weeks now, I don't think they're necessary at this point.

I love what they did with Steve's characters, my friend told me he loved him and up until the last episode I was like HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY LOVE THIS DOUCHE? The scene @ Johnathan's house was great - and pretty hilarious.

^ Ok, I wasn't sure everybody has seen it.

Is a second season in the making?

That scene @Jonathan's house was everything. I saw Steven was struggling but I disliked him just because of his annoying friends .
