Stranger Things

Watched over the break, including the finale on NYE. Tying up loose ends, lots of nostalgia for the 80’s, but also for the show itself, the kids that the actors were at the beginning. I think they Harry Potter phenomenon was in the minds of the show’s creators at this point and they wanted to respect the characters, and the audience’s investment in them. A lot of reflecting, a lot of crying. So much crying. Winona is a terrible actress. Im not particularly fond of Millie Bobbi Brown, either. Since Lucas’ sister who they utilized as the “little kid that was smarter than you give credit” had all ready grown up a lot by this season, I think they leveraged Mike and Nancy’s little sister Holly for that purpose, but she also was a bit of an over-actor.

The very end wrap up had some sweet moments and it was decent payoff if you’ve been riding this train from the start.
