It's nearly impossible not to gorge on all nine episodes of this scary-funny nostalgic romp, careening from one catastrophic cliffhanger to the next. But unlike most shows of this genre, Stranger Things remains as endearing as it is terrifying.
It's not trying to be cool. It just wants to tell a story in the most efficient way possible, while surrounding you with a wide variety of characters you care about. Success all around.
If we had to have a second season, then this is a solid result. It will delight fans by giving them more of what captured everyone's attention in the first place.
