I'm actually still not completely sold on Stranger Things. It's a very slick, well-made TV series that does a lot of things right, and it's very bingeable. At the same time, it bugs me just a little bit how it's absolutely shameless about its nostalgia porn. It's a very focus-grouped show with everything perfectly designed to be Just Right, and after watching both that and the new IT movie, part of me - not all of me, but part of me - started longing for actual, trashier 80s VHS movies with cheap special effects and bad acting. But, y'know, I still watched all of s2 in two long sittings, because it is good.
