I didn't start it until season two had been released. For me, it lived up to the hype from exactly what it is. A nostalgic, exciting, fun, edge-of-your-seat sci-fi show. I was born in the 70s and grew up in the 80's so the clothes, hairstyles, cars and the mall stores take me back to my childhood. JW, Orange Julias, Sam Goody, etc.
No one is going to win an acting award here and no one is trying to. For me, the show is a mashup of The Goonies, Stand By Me, and Gremlins. Three movies I absolutely love. Dustin and Erica are my favorite of the kids. But I like everyone.
