That was awesome. spaced it out over 3 sessions which was perfect. I really enjoyed the 'beyond stranger things' behind the scenes show. gave some really cool insight into the making of the show. was cool to see that they were still writing episodes while they were filming, so they had opportunities to change character arks and interactions.

Finally finished the series. Definitely thought s2 was a step-up from Season 1. It's kind of annoying watching Will scream and shout for an entire season of TV, and I think Eleven was a bit hit or miss this season as well (Ep 7 was a major miscue), but I'm excited to see what they plan on doing next. The core group of characters are brilliant, Sean Astin is a great new character, and the addition of Max and her brother give the show something different as well.

Just finished it as well on Sunday night. Like petarrgh said, I spaced it over over 3 sessions as well which is a perfect way to watch it. The last 20 minutes or so of the finale was perfect, just freaking perfect. I am interested to see who is everyone's favorite character this season. If I had to make a top 4 it would probably go.. 1. Steve 2. Hopper 3. Dustin 4. Joyce / Bob I also agree Eleven was very hit or miss this season andddd I could have done without all the screams from Will.

Nancy getting Barb some justice was fun to see as well. Max is also pretty cool and her douchebag brother lol.
Also, I read that episode 7 is labeled as one of the worst episodes but I liked it.

I started season one of this show on Thursday and I finished season two yesterday.
Hopper is easily my favorite character hands down.
My big nitpicks (It's worth noting I only nitpick things that I thoroughly enjoyed, otherwise I just blast em) Max's Brother: It's not just that he was a total fucking asshole, It's that he was a total fucking asshole who brought absolutely nothing to the table, you could have told that entire story and left him out and it would have ended exactly the same. One cheap laugh with Mike's mother wasn't worth introducing the character into the story.
Misdirection or lack thereof: This show follows Chekhov's Gun to a fucking fault, for those who aren't familiar to the term it basically means that if you show something on screen it has to have a purpose or a pay off in some sense. By knowing this and picking up on the clues I found I was able to predict more scenes than not seconds into they started. Moving forward I'd like to see the show start introducing a few red herrings along the way to keep me guessing.
In Conclusion: So far this show has been fantastic but I'm wondering if it's been slightly overhyped towards me. Only in the sense that people gushed about it as if it was the best show they've ever saw and I'm sitting here wondering if it's cracked my top 5, certainly top 10 but somewhere in the 4-7 range.

One cheap laugh with Mike's mother wasn't worth introducing the character into the story. I thought this too, which is why I am glad you brought this up. Introducing this character with so much mystic surrounding them but never doing anything with it except for the scene with Mikes mom (which was fucking awesome) and then him beating the shit out of Steve was very weird. This ultimately lead me to believe he will be playing a very important part in season 3. They built him up for some reason this season, and I believe next season we will understand why.

I was going to echo this as well. Both he and Max obviously have a bit more development to come next season. We know their parents are fucking scary (Well his Dad anyway) and I'm sure we'll learn more next time around

I'm 4 episodes in on Season 2, and I definitely enjoy this season over the first. Hopefully I'll get to the rest of them this weekend!
