Stranger Things (Netflix)

An 8-episode series, each roughly an hour long, on Netflix.

Takes place in the 80's, a cross between The Goonies and X-Files with a little ET thrown in.

Not a bad watch, not sure if there will be a 2nd "season" or not, works well as its own mini-series.

More or less the same mystery as explore by 4 different groups-

Kids
Teenagers
Adults
Some Secret Government(?) Agency

Watched the first 3 episodes last night. Pretty good so far.

I didn't recognize Matthew Modine at first

I started watching this with a chick who was well versed in nerd lore. We kept picking out all out the cues from every '80s sci-fi/spooky/mystery movie. It's awesome.

Firestarter, a bit of Hellraiser. Nancy looks kinda like Fiona Gallegher. Good to see Wynonna Ryder is working again.

I remember one of my friends saying Poltergeist "made ya jump!" Stranger Things is like that. So much current "horror" is blood and guts and violence just for the sake of blood and guts and violence, without the "make ya jump."
