Stranger Things 2

Stranger Things to me was as if Steven Spielberg produced a film written by Stephen King and directed by John Carpenter, it was perfect, brilliant, and i loved it. Super fast watch, exactly what a show should be, no boring filler in the middle, you get the know the characters, and you get to see them in a horror film. The references were perfect, the chemistry was top notch, it meshed humor and sci fi/horror in a tremendous way. Enter season 2, which i could re type what i just said about season 1, but then multiply it, because holy shit, this season may have topped the first. It is the characters we love, one year later, some have moved on, some have adjusted. Mike is becoming distant from his conservative parents, Will is filling like a burden to everyone and becoming a target for bullies, Dustin now has teeth and wants to swoon the ladies, and Lucas is his rival in that category, those two have fantastic chemistry and comedic timing. Jonathan is the same ole same ole, will he wont he with Nancy, she herself has been dealing with the cover up of Barbs death. Steve is just trying to go on, but he knows after high school not much is left for him, and in a sweet Daniel from Freaks & Geeks esque way, he becomes friends with the geeks and a big brother of sorts for Dustin, it is really touching. Joyce has began dating a sweet yet square radioshack employee named Bob, played by Sean Astin, Hopper has been housing Eleven, and Mr. Clarke is still one of the best characters yet is clueless to everything around him. Another great character this year is conspiracy guru, Murray, he steals all the scenes he is in. Fuck, we also get Paul Reiser fixing all of Dr Brenner's mistakes. The demogorgans are like Tremors, Slither & Jurassic Park rolled into one, the threat seems higher this year. Will is basically possessed, and he looks it so much throughout the flick. The references and jokes are plenty and full, Evil Dead gets a few nods, Goonies, Elm St. Oh and the episode with 8, felt just like an episode of the X Men Animated series, i loved it. Perfect season for a perfect series.
