the introduction of sexual orientation in children 12 years old is a bit much...
but hey... jumpin sharks is what tv does.
The girl playing eleven is fantastic at her role.
Just lost interest. I'm tired of the non-stop faggotry.
My wife and I love this show.
This has to be the biggest departure, given some of Hollywood’s more recent fare. The child actors -- who are the stars of the show -- look and act like real grade school, middle school and high school kids, not the glossy, bossy derelicts that Hollywood loves to pitch ...
Sounds worth watching... so little on TV is...
I have never seen the show, but I have a few friends and family who love it: they have provided a synopsis of the show that mirrors this article.
I know they THINK they need a gay hero, but making Steve an unrealistically “woke” teenager in 1985 Indiana was a stretch. Also, while we routinely see mixed race couples today I doubt a Midwest town of 30k would have been as accepting. Especially since we know Max’s dad is supposed to be a first class A-Hole.
It also look like they are setting up Will as gay since he “doesn’t like girls.”
Sounds worth watching
Definitely; my son (he loves the 1980s) turned me on to the series a couple of years ago
I disagree with the notion that the adults are not stereotypical parents. They are pretty clueless and absent, particularly the fathers as is the Hollywood norm. Of course, the show is not about them.
Exactly right.
Actually, that was a female who had graduated high school and was working in the ice cream shop. Rolled my eyes at it, but it was done pretty well (for propping up a lie).
BFLR
More LGBT agitprop ... stopped watching at the point (next to last episode) ... another anachronistic move by writers (The Duffer Brothers who originated the show) dragging 21st century moral decay into a 1980s story line. More than evil, it was stupid!

It’s why all Western media has lost me as a customer forever. Can’t trust them not to engage in these extreme forms of disrespect against the audience.
That’s why I now watch anime instead. All the virtues of the show being praised by this article are merely part of my baseline expectation for that medium.
Disagreed. I thought it was egregiously contrived. Even reviewers on IMDB who are not opposed to the gay agenda were mocking Netflix for “checking the box”.
Large cast but no bit players. No camera hogs. Wonderful.
I found the series pretentious, overhyped and boring (at least the first season)
It only seems “great” because the bar for entertainment is so low that even a saltine tastes like a ritz cracker now.
Bingo! Even IMDB reviewers who are OK with the homo agenda were mocking Netflix for just “checking the box”.
