I watched the entire Stranger Things season all in one sitting. Sadly, the opening title and musical score was the best part of it. I was completely pumped when I heard a show based in 80's nostalgia was coming to Netflix. Unfortunately that was about all it offered. It ticked off every 80's cliche; Stephen King fonts, Spielbergesque characters and settings, tired cop given a second chance to do something meaningful, single mom raising boys away from a deadbeat dad, group of nerdy young kids solving issues on their BMX bikes, alien hiding in a shed (ET), and a secret megacorp coverup. The story was completely uninspiring, that even some exceptional acting couldn't rescue. The actress playing Eleven was fantastic! But Winona Ryder was WAS over dramatic.
