Wife (no pics) and I don't watch TV too much, but are wanting to start a series. Never really had an interest to watch Stranger Things but the thought has been growing on me lately. Is it worth watching?

I am trying to decide the same thing. The girlfriend watched one and two and wants me to catch up so we can watch three together. I am not normally into sci-fi but she isn’t either and still loves it. Can’t decide to jump in or not

It's a pretty damn good show. Hour long episodes but they fly by.

I binged all 3 seasons in one weekend. It's a fun show.

Depends on your age. If you're an 80's kid and get all warm inside watching Goonies and E.T. and Explorers and Dungeons and Dragons then probably yes.

If you're too young or old to get amped about those things, it may not be for you.

Yes. But lots of folks, including me, feel there was a big drop from S2 to S3. Still recommend watching all seasons, however.

It’s worth starting but I don’t think it’s worth finishing. First season was great. 2nd average. 3rd couldn’t keep my interest.

Years ago I came upon MTV and asked what shows are good that I might have missed and asked for recs.

This board delivered in full. Got to know some good baws with great recommendations.

The board isn't what it was, but look for ppl with similar tastes. Easily shows like ST have high ratings across critical platforms and here too.

IMO MTV is a better platform to learn about shows you wouldn't have known about before.

I watched the first season, it was entertaining. Haven't got around to s2 & s3 because, well, I don't really know. I did the same with Ozark, Westworld, and the Nazi show. All had "great" first seasons but for whatever reason I wasn't in a rush to jump on s2.

The comic book nerds here all think Stranger Things is the greatest thing on television so maybe it gets better after s1?
