How many of you are into Stranger Things? I’ve been watching it since season one and I just started season 5. I hope it’s a good season.

While "Stranger Things" is a modern creation, it draws heavily from the rich tapestry of 1980s pop culture, which might be why it resonates with so many fans of that era. The show's creators, the Duffer Brothers, have cited numerous 80s influences, including the works of Stephen King, Steven Spielberg, and John Carpenter, as well as films like "The Goonies" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." The series is known for its nostalgic nods to 80s music, fashion, and technology, creating a vivid homage to the decade. For those who love the 80s, "Stranger Things" offers a delightful trip down memory lane wrapped in a thrilling sci-fi narrative.

Stranger Things is a very good show. It has a great story line and they made it very nostalgic. I look forward to binge watching the newest season.

I watched the first episode and it was eh just ok. I hope the rest of the episodes are better!

I still haven’t watched. Between work, the radio station and here I don’t have the time.
 
Ok so I finally watch it yesterday. It was ok. Nothing like when they were kids though. As young adults I feel like the nostalgia was gone. The story line is still good. I just wish they would keep the woke out of it. I don't understand why Netflix loves that kind of stuff.
