Season 2 teaser trailer already out, gives nothing away (legit its just the neon sign saying season 2 with a bunch of words) but #datsynth
Speculation that the bunch of words are the epiosde titles from season 2. Seems to fit.

What was the name of Will's dog? Was it Max? Doesn't the movie The Thing start with a dog that has been infected? I can't see the first episode being about Hopper going Mad Max through the dark world.
Not sure of the dogs name. But yep an infected dog is central to The Thing, nice theory.

The Boy Who Came Back to Life:
I'm just not buying the whole PTSD angle. Dustin mentions (albeit brifley) Shadow Walking in season 1. I think Will now has the ability to peer into the Shadow/Dark plane. Notice how the lights flicker, I think this is a subtle hint that this is something more than a PTSD flashback.
The Pumpkin Patch:
Another nod to another Carpenter classic? I the title is referencing Halloween (the movie/Holiday) and the eggs seen in season 1. However, I remain unconvinced that the monster from season 1 birthed those eggs.

Watched it over a couple nights, finished it last night at about 3am. What am I going to do with my life now?
Pretty much think what everyone else has mentioned. I was born in 83, so while there's a few movie themes I noticed throughout, there's a lot I don't recognise. But I love every bit of the show anyway. Think it was the last episode when they were on their bikes getting chased, everyone watching it would have expected an ET flying bike scene - was bloody awesome when the van ended up flipping over instead.
Much like everyone else, absolutely loved El and Gummy.
There were some moments that genuinely freaked me out. Also were a lot of scenes that gave me some mega goosebumps, not just from the scary parts, but from some of the reveals too. And the last episode towards the end (straight after the Hopper daughter in hospital, Will waking up and then El vanishing) left me seriously emotional and I actually had a couple of tears come out... But I'll blame the tears on the yawning.
Watched it all alone, but hopefully I can convince the wife to watch it. She won't appreciate the 80's throwbacks and it might be a bit too dark for her, but hope that the story line might get her hooked.

Haven't been this hooked in a show since breaking bad. So so good! Binge watched the whole series yday, can't wait for the new season. Millie Brown is an absolute star by the way, incredible actress and can't believe she's only 11/12.

Loved it
It spoke of that generation of the 80s when I was the kids age as well
Love what the duffers have done with massive amounts of ref
Gonna have to go crank some old classics
N.O.E.S, People Under the Stairs, Goodies etc

Got around to watching this on the back of all the hype and recommendations. It was such an enjoyable and suspenseful show to watch, the main characters were written well and it's nice to see such a well written throwback of a show. I hope season 2 is as good.
Interesting that the guys behind it are working on a version of Stephen Kings IT, that has the kid who played Mike in it. Hopefully they can take the book to new levels even if they won't be able to surpass the greatness of Tim Currys Pennywise.

Really enjoyed the series, my wife and I binge watched it in 2 nights.
Hope they can have as good second series. Good to see Winona Ryder back properly.

Good Idea, they don't want to get stuck trying to keep the characters young as the actors age (for example Game of thrones)
Release date on season 2 yet?? (I know it will be a while)

I loved it. Mike reminded me a little of young Evan from Butterfly effect. His dymanic with his sister early on reminded me of Donnie Darko as well.
I'm not usually a fan of Horror, especially monster based horrors, but I was really reeled in by the mental breakdown of Winona Ryder, and everything to do with Eleven and how it was still all a 'game' to them.

Boys are much worse for it as well. Walt's storyline in Lost is one of the biggest let downs in Television history.
Me too. She was peak crazy just before they found the body/the Dad came back, and I think that calmed her down quite a bit.
Watched it over the week. Was very difficult to stop watching, could've smashed it out quicker if I had time!
Absolutely loved it! So, so good. The pacing, the vibe, the acting, the suspense; just so well done in every aspect.
Can't wait for season 2. Hopper was a gun, my favourite character. Wonder what happened after he got in the car, and I'm thinking Eleven is alive given the food he delivered. As for Will...that ending can't bode well for him.

Watched the first 2 episodes and I'm hooked also best intro to a TV show ever.
