    It's pretty much Stephen King / Steven Spielberg p--- that rips off a lot of different stuff (Firestarter, E.T., Twin Peaks), but it's entertaining. Has a synth score on some Tangerine Dream s---. Anybody watching this?

    Just finished the first episode
    I like how the kids just seem like regular neighborhood kids, not annoying r-----s like in all other horror movies/shows

    My biggest concern was the children as the main cast but since that doesn't seem to be an issue here, I'm gonna check it out later.

    Funny how everybody was concerned with the children, and the weakest aspect turns out to be the teenagers. Absolutely cringe pandering on the writer's part to get a female audience.

    I have just finished the season and must say I enjoyed it. It does lack original ideas but we haven't had this type of tv show or movie executed so well in a long time. The kids were strong characters, the character development was well done, the plot made sense and there were some cliffhangers ready for season two. If you haven't seen it, watch it, it is worth your time.

    80's nostalgia is strong with this one. It didn't reinvent the wheel but it was a great homage to 80's horror films as well as kid's adventure films. The science teacher reminded me of Mr. Wizard. Netflix is eatin'.

    I watched like 30 minutes of this and went back to Star Trek TNG. Didn't do much for me.

    This should have way more replies, I'm on episode 5 right now and it's great so far. Also the soundtrack is fantastic.
