Not a big Stranger Things fan....

50.110.161.210

Awe-d-o-file

But I watched S3 E1. Pretty much the usual. A few things bothered me. The music was too much and kinda lame choices. That didn't sound like the Cars, it sounded like a cover. Eh...
Too too many technical faux pas. See that phone? A person is working late at an office and it rings. They had the red hold button flash instead of one of the lines. My guess? That phone was older than whoever the tech guy was that set it up.
The kid with the ham radio thing, especially the antenna was silly. The "dialog" used when using it. Come on! Real nerds at least attempt to sound a little real.
There's a protest about a mall that's recently opened. A pretty huge mall and it's taking away business from this very small towns city center long time businesses. Way too big a mall for this small town! Then later there's a protest about the mall in front of the mayor's office. I don't remember protests about malls in the 80's. I do remember Walmart protests starting in the mid late 90's, maybe later.

I don't mind the sound track.
Philip Glass and Tangerine Dream get a run later in S3!

It was a novelty the first season....after that it has been ALL... - TWB 13:44:35 07/05/19 (3)
down hill.... My wife LOVES it though and has binge watched every season since #1... Now it is just about how weird the "monster" can be.. The "kids" are no longer cute and unique but in their awkward pre/teen years... It's boring now.....

  I think: Why would she shoplift? Kind of a drag.

    where she was caught... It was a BIG deal as celebrities shopping there was an EVERY day occurrence. Shoplifting by them not so much...

  Agree, one was decent then the thrill is gone. The huge monster pounds on humans and they don't die. Huge humans bash each other around and nobody hardly get knocked out much less die.
  
  Stranger Things (have happened) ? No they haven't only through the bullshit lens of this show. The idea that kids could... oh what's the point-lol

But had no problem with all the faux pas because I'm not the target audience. I'm not 13 so I let all that crap slide knowing the chosen demographic has no idea of '80s culture.

  I'm almost done with the season and am enjoying it.
  
  If this show had been around when I was a young teen I'm sure it would have been a favorite.

  reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.

    Notice how obnoxious they are? Teenhood I guess. Kind of worn me down but almost through.
