"Stranger Things" on Netflix

And as an update: Neflix has already renewed the show for a third season (!!!) and the Duffer Brothers say their ultimate goal is to just do 4 seasons and then out.

‘Stranger Things’ Creators Want to End Series After Four Seasons

And in this interview, they reveal that two of the most difficult things about making the first season was they had a lot of trouble licensing the Clash's hit "Should I Stay or Should I Go," because the group (who controls the rights to the song) were fearful that filmmakers might make fun of it -- which was not the case at all for Stranger Things.

‘Stranger Things’ Creative Team on Why the Netflix Show Almost Didn’t Get Made

The 2nd season premieres on Netflix on October 27th.

 

And as another another update, Netflix has greenlit S3 and in all likelihood S4. The 2nd season premieres on Netflix on October 27th.

 

Cool, didn't notice that will go back and watch. I had one of those monitors.

 

Thank you for the tip. I just requested it from the New Jersey inter-library loan system.

 

"Yeah, I heard that," texted my 13 year old daughter.

"That could work but it's still a little long," texted her 15 year old brother who is a huge fan of Les Revenants.

 

And here's a poster promoting the new season...

 

Thank you. You just gave dad cool points with his children.

 

I thought the same thing. I'm surprised Winona Ryder didn't get nominated.

 

And a new poster in time for Halloween...

 

Final trailer...

 

I just finish a three day binge-watch. Enjoyed the series very much.

 

The new trailer is stellar and scary as hell.

 

let's hope the season is as well.

 

Cool, just saw the "Thriller" trailer play on CBS during the Chiefs game.

 

Just started binging on STRANGER THINGS series 2 tonight in 4K HDR. Fantastic storyline, really engaging characters, brilliant visuals. Scary as hell. Epic color work by Skip Kimball at Technicolor/Hollywood and the VFX crew -- this is Emmy-class visuals. Drop everything and watch it.

 

I've been hearing a lot about this series, I think my wife and I will start with Season 1 this weekend, it looks fantastic!

 

Wife and I are wrapping up our 2nd look at Season 1

This is a really well done show and appreciate it even more during our 2nd look.

Getting ready for Season 2 with snacks and beverages for the weekend.

 

My kids didn't have school or work today, so they got up at 3AM and watched all of season 2 by lunchtime. They haven't let anything slip yet, so hopefully I can have a spoiler-free viewing weekend.

 

I only watched episode 1 of season 2 so far.

Here's my no spoilers comment:

Anyone worth their salt knows you can only put in 3 characters for your high score in Dig Dug. Details people!

 

We had 10 inches of snow (yes snow) yesterday, so my wife and I sat inside and watched all of season 2.
We thoroughly enjoyed it, and had several moments when it was pretty frightening. Wonder what season 3 will bring? But now we'll have to wait another year.

 

About half way through season 2. It's been tubular so far.

 

I’m 3 episodes in. The 80s references seemed a little too much but mellowed out after a while.

 

Binged it today, loved it.

 

Yeah, it definitely picked up after the third episode.

 

I'll tell you what they've gotten very wrong...the state of bicycles in 1984. Sorry, there just weren't that many Stingrays around even by that time. That ratio of 20" bmx bikes would have easily outnumbered everything else in the world of kids that age. In 1984 it was all about Mongoose, Redline, Hutch, etc. I hadn't seen something with a banana seat in a few years by '84 yet it's seemingly all you see. Even the scenes where they're at the bike rack at school it's nothing but 10 speeds and banana seats and Dustin's lone bmx.
