Fun in the Florida sun
Has no one watched it? I figured there may be a thread about it. I watched it with my daughter all the way through on Saturday and we loved it. Anyone else watch/watching?
Only one episode in so far. I'd heard the second season is a big step down from the first but will see once I get through it.

Oh, I strongly disagree with that.
I purposely read nothing about it prior to viewing and in my opinion it is not only a worthy successor to the brilliant original, but actually exceeds it.
My spoiler-free reasons for that are that the new characters are all good, especially Sean Astin, the kids are the same kids, but each character develops and changes in their own way without losing their charm, the plot itself is nuanced and exciting, the camera work exceeds the original while retaining the realistic 80's vibe that is so important to the show and the Duffers did an excellent job tying up the multiple plot lines into a coherent whole, which is unlike virtually all shows of the genre. It's referential at times, but always in a subtle and tasteful way.
It's funny, scary, intelligent, brilliantly cast, lovingly written and directed, poignant, moving and most of all-- fun to watch.
I loved Season 2. Loved it. Let the critics try to find something to gripe about because they'll have to work pretty hard to find the couple of minor flaws in what is a masterpiece of the horror/sci-fi genre.
Watch and enjoy, folks. It's fantastic.
Rewatching season 1 first, about half way through.
Same.
Amazing how much I missed the first time through.
Funny how I see Mike differently now after seeing It.
Now that baseball is over, I'll spend the next 7 - 10 days trying to get through Season 2.
Have just started watching it for 2 weeks now. On episode 5 of season 2. Absolutely love the show. Does it look like there will be another season?
