Earlier I wasn't interested in this because if seen a trailer and Winona Ryder looked so annoying it completely turned me off. But when I saw there was a thread here I decided to check it out and I got hooked.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was surprised at the subject matter, and when the girl 11 showed up I was hooked. She was GREAT. Seriously she was the glue of the show. Conveying that poor character while barely saying a word, doing it all with her eyes, just great. The other characters were hard to really care about very much. The kids were annoying, the teenage girl was annoying, Winona Ryder was almost unbearable but I kept thinking of how unbearable I might be if my son disappeared. I would lose my fucking mind. But still ...
The girl made it for me. I think she's gonna be yuge. She's English and apparently quite a ham. She has her own YouTube channel where she sings. She's a good singer too. I kind of want to check out the other show she was in, it looks like a similar kind of show actually.
The flashback scenes with her in the lab were extremely creepy. Made my stomach literally feel tight and kind of nauseated. Maybe because we all know that shit ain't fiction.
And like Wombat said we've all most likely had dreams of "the upside down". I've had more than dreams about it. I've experienced it a little more than is comfortable. That's why I'm here (one reason anyway)
I really thought that these guys must have read Jeff's work and ran with it.
The episodes "The Duffer Bros" directed weren't as good as the others. Who are these guys? Isn't Shawn Levy a director who's done family comedies in the past? Like "Yours Mine and Ours"? I'll have to look that up.
Anyway I really got into it. Maybe my life is just boring right now (it is) but I enjoyed it immensely in spite of its flaws.
The other show the girl did is called "intruders":
"A TV series centered around a secret society devoted to chasing immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others."
Her name is Millie Bobby Brown.
Yeah. I noticed each episode had a different writer.
