I've basically seen the first few episodes of season 1, and it's nothing special. The characters are reasonably good, the casting is very good, the basic concept is interesting, but a lot of the scenes are not that good, and the pacing is probably too slow.

Why do people think this is so wonderful?

80's nostalgia, a wonderful mix of throwback 80's like television and movie sensibilities but done in a way that reflects the good stuff about 2010's.

It is pretty much one of the better examples of creating a throwback style show without it feeling like a gimmick

How are you able to judge a show about what you think the pacing will be?

Stranger Things is like the perfect show for the masses. Good casting, a simple plot, its not "offensive", and it has a bit of nostalgia.

It's similar to the walking dead in that sense. Also season 1 is it s best season so if you dont like it now you shouldnt keep watching it.

It's a decent show that caters pretty damn hard to the 80's nostalgia crowd. I thought it was alright but I can understand why it became popular.

It's okay to watch something without seeking to publish a critique of it.

You haven't even finished the first season yet? It does start a bit slow but gets way better by the end IMO

It's Sunhawk. Pseudo-intellectual critiques of popular things and asking for people to explain basic human behavior is really all be has.
