You probably wouldn't say it based on my luscious head of hair and boyis looks' n charm, but I'm a kid of the eighties. The eighties in which we had to make do with only two transmitters: Nederland 1 and 2. Transmitters that were often also beeping for up to six hours on the test screen. Our grandfathers and grandmothers may have survived the starvation winter, but the fact that my entire generation has had to grow up with a glaring lack of home entertainment is simply hidden away in all history books for the sake of convenience. Disgraceful. A few times a week there was a party, then you could stay up a little later in your He-Man pajamas with a bowl of paprika chips on your lap - it was that or natural, you had no more flavors - a little later for Airwolf, Knight Rider and MacGuyer. Good memories. CBS will release a remake of MacGuyver later this year, but of course we already know in advance that it can never match the original, so we are going to boycott it en masse. However? Despite the fact that your TV seemed to experience a lot more intensely than nowadays - I know, grandpa explains - due to the limited selection, you had to be in the cinema for the real fireworks. On the basis of your father to actually just a bit too exciting films like Gremlins, The Goonies and ET and then of course not sleeping for days. Own fault. It was the time when a very young Steven Spielberg squeezed one supernatural adventure movie after another and we ate it like sweet cake. For all people in their thirties and forties who now and then reminisce with melancholy on Stand By Me, The Thing and Aliens, Netflix now comes with a song of praise to all those 80's classics, Stranger Things. If your main concern as a sheriff is to have enough strawberry jam in your donut, then you know you are not enforcing the law in one of the largest counties on the planet. Hawkins is a small dormitory town in early '80s Indiana. Not much going on in Hawkins. You could say it is a kind of Boxtel, but with more pick-up trucks and bigger cups at McDonalds. It is therefore a shock when, amid all this lingering dullness, the young Will Byers suddenly seems to disappear into thin air. Will's mom and friends like a good scavenger hunt, so they join the sheriff to get the magnifying glasses from the attic and go out, not knowing the utter insanity they throw themselves into. Stranger Things is described by Netflix as an ode to the 80's supernatural classics and nothing too much is said with that. During the first episodes you sometimes really have the feeling that you are watching the director's cut of ET. Extreme close-ups of rattling BMX rear wheels; big, intimidating men in white suits who get oxygen from a vacuum cleaner hose and special effects that I think look deliberately nice and clumsy. It is all there and accompanied by synthesizer tunes that Kraftwerk would not ignore. Fine. But is Stranger Things also fun for people in their twenties who only know the 80s from the The A-Team reruns on RTL7? I think so. For them it is in any case 'new' and that is also the pitfall for Stranger Things. For older viewers, it can at some point start to feel like a repetition of moves. The government as a continuously threatening force, secretly conducting the most insane experiments; bullies vs. the nerds at a typical American high school and the Predator-like sounds of the magnified evil, we've all seen it before. So you could say that the power of Stranger Things is also its Achilles heel. The question now is whether you watch it for the trip down memory lane it is or whether you “used to be everything better” muttering on the Waterlooplein in search of a still working video recorder for your dusty Blade Runner and The Fly tapes. bing again. I think I'm going for both.

If you had said the 60s with 2 TV channels now I would have believed you but in the 80s? At least through Integan, as the cable company was called with us at the time, we had about fifteen channels at our disposal in the early 1980s and by the end of 1989 it will have been roughly double. As far as "Stranger Things" is concerned, I can't really say much yet, since I've only seen the pilot, except that I have one thing. It seems as if Winona Ryder herself was unable to attend and her mother stepped in for her for the role of Joyce because I've known her look better.

Until 1988 we had to make do with only two channels here in the Netherlands. In that year the public broadcaster got an extra channel with the Netherlands 3 and it was not until '89 that the first commercialists pressed their nose against the window under the direction of RTL Véronique. Aesthetically, Winona has indeed seen better times, but she does feel she is staying upright. Also does not have such a dominant role as, for example, Spacey in HOC, for example. The series really hobbled on two minds ... Think that Netflix certainly does justice to the genre of the 80's adventure, but they don't really surprise them. Above all, it is very much like what we have seen before. Nothing wrong with that in itself, but you are not going to fall for it.

Hard to believe that Belgium had a head start on the Netherlands by any means, even if only with the number of television channels one could receive :-) As far as the series is concerned, so far it is indeed a bit of everything that is just not enough of one thing. to be able to choose a direction.

Of course we had more channels in the 80s, but they were mainly German channels. Until commercial TV emerged, we had more German channels than Dutch.

Foreign-language channels also count, of course, I thought, it was all about how many you could receive. Because of official multilingualism, we naturally had both Dutch-language and French-language national channels with BRT and RTBF with two networks to start with, but we also received the Dutch, French, German and English channels in the early 1980s. I don't remember for sure, but it is possible that there were also Spanish and Italian channels on offer at the time.

Last weekend I binged Season 4 part 1, although for a moment it seemed like two seasons with the duration of some episodes. But what an incredibly powerful and wonderful season this has become. Everything fits and falls together perfectly in the end. Although I must say that the Horror button has been fully opened this season and is no longer suitable for younger viewers. Can't wait to watch the finale, which will be released on Netflix on July 1

On topic: Thank you Gumstarr for your review so far. From what I read, this is a series that I will like. But that will certainly also be because I am also a child of the 80's and many things will be a celebration of recognition. As soon as I have looked at it completely, I will write a review or give it a rating. Off topic: The Netherlands only had two channels in the early eighties. Obviously, those were more channels if you had an antenna on your roof. But that concerned foreign and pirate channels. For example, in Utrecht you could receive ZDF and on Sunday morning I looked at grandma's with a cup of hot chocolate milk "sendung mit der maus" and "Pumuckl". Can I still remember a few classic TV series ... Buck Rogers, Dukes of hazzards, uncle willem's movie, The Freggels, Transformers, Gi Joe. And I can still remember Back to the future and Indiana Jones from films.

Watched three episodes so far, and I like Stranger Things! There are few series that still fascinate me after three episodes. Maybe it's because I'm a kid in the 80's. Sometimes it reminds me of IT and stand by me. Wynona is great on the series. Her desperation is so recognizable. Every mother who has ever lost her child (even if it was only 10 seconds) recognizes her feeling.

This is one of those series where I thought 'Why does everyone like this series so much?', I had watched 3 episodes a while ago and I quickly dropped out. It was too slow for me and I did not care ... until one evening I was bored and went to look further and wow wow wow! I started at 10 p.m. and * ahum * 01.45 the last episode was over. I just had to keep looking because it was so exciting that I couldn't stop. Bad for my night's sleep haha but I hope season 2 comes very soon with a lot of episodes :)

A mishmash with a little bit of everything without actually surfacing one particular genre, that's all I can say after seeing 5 episodes. Instead of choosing a certain direction yourself, you get the impression that a number of scenes that did not make it through films such as Goonies, ET and others in the eighties were stuck together at random. It is not really a punishment to watch, but it is not just good in any area. I also still believe that the role of Winona Ryder is simply played by her own mother, because she still seems only a shadow of who she used to be, or rather what she should look like in twenty years or so.

The atmosphere breathes the bygone 80's. The group of friends reminds me of IT original version. Should Wynona ever not have done too clever things, with this everything is forgiven and forgotten.

I was put on the wrong track a few times! At first I thought the series started in the 80s and then it would move on to now, but that is not the case. After that I thought this was a youth series, so it isn't. Then the story, this seemed so familiar to me, but that will probably be because there are so many such stories. No idea in which category to place it. If I have nothing to do or have to wait, I will probably watch season 1 and I hope to be surprised somewhere. If not, I will leave it alone and yes, I have also experienced the 80s (and 60s and 70s) but not in the USA and not in a village.

Funny series with a high Steven Spielberg content, set in the recognizable 1980s. However, the children's content is high and the series increasingly changed from mystery to fantasy with big monsters, etc., which I think is a shame. Furthermore, the series looks nice.

I watched the first part of season four with great difficulty. Three years between seasons 3 and 4 turned out to be too long for me. I hardly knew many characters anymore. And some parts took way too long. The story in Russia could have been much more compact. I couldn't really follow the story of 11 and it took way too long. The Duffers seem to have a fetish for torture. Hurting someone on purpose is very normal in this series. And in my opinion not always relevant. In addition, it becomes predictable. The Duffers are also great admirers of Mr. Murphy. If something can go wrong, it will go wrong. And that is no longer a surprise. I thought the first few seasons were great. But I can't get into this season. As a horror lover there was quite a bit to enjoy. But once you annoy yourself about something, it unfortunately starts to dominate. But it's definitely just me. Maybe I'm really getting too old for these kinds of youth series. Who knows :-)
