[Closed] Stranger Things 2

Can't wait - the first series was bloody brilliant 🙂

Forgot to post about this yesterday lots of goodies come out of Comic Con.

Trailers looks superb loved the first season and yes part of it is because of the 'member berries.

Yeah, saw that over the weekend. Looks really good.

It will be difficult to stop myself from watching all the episodes in 1 go!

Looks like Peter Sagan is a fan too!
Must have had too much spare time after having being sent home from the tour...

Love the use of thriller!! Can't wait for that to start! Is it still halloween when it's back for us?

Week before Halloween I think now.

Can't wait, my Mrs "didn't get" the first series but I loved it.

Netflix can do little wrong in my mind

27th October it's a general release.

I really hope it's as good as the first. Amazing series, can't wait.

I'd watch it if it was on a satellite channel or free-to-air somewhere. Damned if I'm going to pay for Netflix or Amazon Prime, I've already binned a bunch of stuff on Sky that my stepdad paid for, saving £60/month, and BT Sport as well, I need to save as much as I can.

Really looking forward to this one too. Loved the first one and I've just finished Ready Player One and saw the teaser for it. The 80's were never this good!

Don't know anything about it; but that trailer was most excellent (Dude).

Which is absolutely right and proper, but I would say that Netflix is great VFM compared to pretty much any pay to view service.

Urgh....right in the nostalgia. Where's the bewilderbeast?

It’s out.

Watching it later when my daughter is home.

Is the whole series up?

This - Netflix is vastly better value than Sky, as is Amazon Prime video. Sky is the one you want to bin.

Yup whole series is up.

Just watched the recap and then the first few minutes of E1. 😯

Yup Netflix is now great value, my Sky had been dumped thanks to Netflix.

awesome the whole series!

Could this beat a Handmaid's tale as best TV show..... we shall see!

Nah, not the best show ever. It's good and all, but it's really such a re-hash of so much else. Almost more of an artistic piece than a narrative show.

best show of the year I meant not EVA soz

I thought Season 1 was excellent, definitely up there.

I now even pay for Netflix, having been a life long pirate....

Just signed up to Netflix - got Amazon prime on cheap too. Downloaded the whole series to watch off line at weekend whilst away.

Good to hear!

I don't know why they bother with dividing it up into programmes and putting credits every 55 mins. Just edit it all together into one massive film and we'll pause it when we need to go to bed. Cos let's face it, that's how we watch it.

thought it was just me! 😆

On EP1, has such a great feel this series

I know we've all been told how great this is, but to me it was just meh, ok, etc.
No better than all the other netflix stuff, possibly fab for Holby City viewers but not a serious contender in box set hierarchy.

2.5 out of 5.

How old are you Wilburt?

Just watched ep1 & 2 of the new series. Great start

possibly fab for Holby City viewers

It's full of references to stuff that the typical Holby City viewer is unlikely to have read.....

couldn't help myself, ep6 just starting, I'm committed! 😆

It's bloody awesome btw. No idea what planet holby city guy is on!

Some people refuse to allow themselves to enjoy the atmosphere and depths of story a d character being built up, so they say it's meh.

Me? I'm gasping to see the next episode after watching 01 last night

I could understand anyone being frosty about it - beneath the nostalgiagasm it's fairly generic stuff.

I persisted with and ultimately enjoyed the first series but I was initially reluctant because a lot of the references seemed overly calculated and contrived. This time I'm just going with it and am letting myself enjoy it. Three episodes in, so far so good. It's even got some a bit of cheesy 80s rock in there which was one of my niggles with the last series.

Good to see Paul Glaiser back, took me a while to put a name to the face.

Finished it last night.

Those kids are going to have some fun conversations when they get older.

"So, how did you guys all meet?"
"We saved the world from a pan dimensional monster."

Not that I expect them all to die or anything, but spoilers Molgrips 😉

Binge watched Mindhunter, but am going to savour this over the course of a few weeks... really enjoyed the first series and S2E1 seems to pick right up with the feel of series 1 - excellent !

Good to see Paul [s]Glaiser[/s] Reiser back, took me a while to put a name to the face.

Finished them, enjoyed it as much as the first lot.

"So Jonathan, how was the pull out?" 😆

Watched S2/Ep1 last night - it's a visual treat as much as the 80's theme/storyline - shown in 4K & HDR. The soundscape in 5.1 is pretty good too

The intro music / credits reminds me of Tron....

Really enjoying S2, only two episodes in so far...

FTFY
Took me a while to figure out where I'd seen him before too. I hope he lives up to "Burke"

Yeah thanks. I realised I'd made that mistake - I must have been thinking of Glaser because he directed The Running Man which I watched recently.

Lol - I wondered if 'Starsky' was going to pop up in a later episode.

Had a 'recognise the face' off with Mrs STR last night - I didn't know the name, but recognised him from Beverley Hills Cop and a few others - she didn't have a clue, but realised when I mentioned My Two Dads

Exceeded expectations. A lot. But then I'm textbook Gen X.

'Don't do that.'

Binge watched the lot over 2 days. Very good.
