I'm only 2 in as well and I'm liking it. has a slight twin peaks feel with obvious xfiles thrown in. being the age of those kid saround that time, they totally nailed the whole feel of the 80's

To think, the events of the entire series set up by this innocent little comic....

Watched the 1st episode last night and loved it - very X-Fileish. Plenty of "what the F is that" moments mixed in with some cool comic book and D & D references. Throw the fireball!

We enjoyed it so far only seen episode 1. Boy, Winona looks like :censored: , but I guess they are making her look like that.

 

Talking about screwing her career up. Glad to see her get back on track.

 

I think age is doing all the work in terms of making her look like that. My wife didn't even recognize her.

We just started it last night, too - loving it! And the D&D references, even going so far as to mention Demogorgon... :cloud9:

 

Then you'll love everything else that's coming. That's not the last D&D reference.

Only on episode 3 Finished-- REALLY enjoyinged it! :applause:

 

Brings back a lot of 80s memories and I like that the music and score harkens back to that era (John Carpenter, synthesizers...). Wouldn't be surprised to see the soundtrack done by It Follows composer.

Digging a little deeper, I had originally understood it was a homage to Steven Spielberg and the 80s. Then, I realized that it was more of a homage to the 80s and Stephen King!!! Never even occurred to me that

the girl was arguably a revamped version of firestarter

King took to twitter and gave it an A+ Now we have Dark Tower to look forward to. Awesome time. (worship)

I really enjoyed this show, and can't wait for the second season. It's like Akira and Stand By Me mixed with a pinch of Goonies, and baked in a golden flaky 80's crust. :cloud9:

 

The kids were the highlight of the show, I loved those little geeks.

Just finished season 1 last night. What a fun series. Really spoke to my inner 80s child. Halfway through, I felt like I was watching a part of the movie Firestarter from Mr. King. It totally makes sense it's an homage.

 

Some of the music really got to me too.
