I thought it was...okay? It certainly isn't the "greatest show ever" as some have exclaimed. It's bordering on a rip-off at times, other times it's just straight copying a scene, shot for shot. Nostalgia porn has this issue. This is definitely nostalgia porn done well, but, it's still nostalgia porn. Writing is exceptionally poor at times. Acting is poor at times. Not sure what people are referring to when speaking of Winona Ryder. She was one note the whole way through and is just terrible. Not sure how they're going to keep this going with a second series. End was fucking nonsense and irritating. But, some good characters and a fucking great opening credits. STOP HATING!!!!!!!!

Spoken like a true moron. I experienced the 80's and I also have a brain to learn, read and watch stuff from WAY before that. For instance... NO child in the 80's had a poster of "The Thing" in their room. It was a flop and panned and only became revered later on. This is called, "nostalgia porn" as it's putting something in the scene from the 80's that shouldn't have been, for the benefit of those unfamiliar with the time period. Like you. Not sure why you highlighted my thoughts on some of the writing/acting and ending...?

I didnt notice the thing poster but in other movies/tv shows that take place during a certain time period like the 70s it seems like the they say "hey its in the 70s so one of them has to be wearing a zeppelin shirt"

I'd say, "okay?". So...you're now representative of the rest of the country? You sir, would be an outlier in this situation. *edit - Just to clarify... when I said "NO child in the 80's had a "Thing" poster", I was just exaggerating the point.

What makes your anecdotal evidence better than his anecdotal evidence? Can you not read? During the back and forth between myself and mybudgee, I said this: "It was a flop and panned and only became revered later on", in reference to "The Thing". Me saying this, is based on actual numbers and data. My follow up of, "You sir, would be an outlier in this situation", is in relation to the data. This is not anecdotal evidence and I would encourage you to understand that, whereas mybudgee did in fact give anecdotal evidence. Given the gif he used, I'm sure he knew this and was, like me, enjoying a tongue in cheek exchange. "Banter", if you will. All good? Or would you like to write something else idiotic? Oh wait, is that rude? Or do I have to say that to you directly? I forget.

Next thing I know my shirt was covered in vomit :x

I was quite wary of the nostalgia porn and tbh after the first episode I wasn't sure if it would bother me. But I got attached to the characters and interested in the story. My historic integrity completely forgot to stay vigilant and I really enjoyed the show. I was also greatly satisfied that this didn't have a stupid bizarre ending à la JJ Abrams. I'm really happy that this trend of leaving you unsatisfied at the end seems to be coming to an end. There is nothing wrong with hinting to a sequel but when there are mysteries all over and nothing is solved it's just exhausting. Why would anyone like being lead on and left with blue ball? It's just beyond me (looking at you, all the Lost fans).
