B.A. Ries @peacesim.bsky.social · 05/01/2026My summarized thoughts on Stranger Things: S1: Gets lots of mileage out of its charming cast. Derivative but satisfying and nicely self-contained. Loved the bonding between Mike and Eleven. S2: Almost no memories. Had some weird offshoot episode. S3: Almost no memories. Took place in a mall I think? 100
