7 | Better than it should be

The cast and directors have done an admirable job of making an average monster in the woods story much more enjoyable than one would expect. I also think it somehow appeals to a wide range of ages. I enjoy the 80's nostalgia. The performance of Millie Bobby Brown, particularly in Season 1, is a large part of why this show works. I hope that it doesn't take itself too seriously as it goes forward and that it can hold onto the surprising fun and easy watching it provides. Well worth a watch.



While I think it is good not great, I am always surprised how hard it is to stop watching a season once you start. Maybe it is better in the moment than in the memory.
