Stranger Things?

Does anyone watch this?  Do you like it?  

 

After seeing the reviews, and the fact that over 40 million people watched the premier, and that's 40 million people on a streaming service, I decided to go ahead and get it via PlayOn Cloud.  

 

To be honest, I'm hoping I do like it, because other than a series that I downloaded over a month ago, I haven't found Netflix to be all that worth it.

    I recorded all 3 series (seasons) via PlayOn. I liked the 1st series very much. The second series wasn't as good, imo, and the 3rd series was very good. I like all the 80s references, and the storyline isn't too bad.  It's very much like watching a Steven Spielberg/Stephen King hybrid from the 80s.  I'm looking forward to series 4.  YMMV, though. Not everyone likes this show.

      I tend to like horror/sci fi type shows/movies, and the more eerie, the better.  I have nearly 200 credits, so I figured, why not?  Plus, I needed to do at least something with Netflix.  Otherwise, it's $12.99 per month for nothing.

        What about Dark?  That's also on Netflix, and it's very good. So far, there have been 2 seasons, both pretty brilliant. I recorded those too.
