All I'm gonna say is, in case someone who plans to watch it stumbles on this thread, is it was great, but Season 1 was significantly better in my opinion.
I surprisingly actually liked 2 more than 1.
More action.
My wife and I watched it over 3 days, I think. Not a huge fan of the whole "release them all at once" way of doing it like Netflix and Amazon do it. Really like Bosch on Amazon, but same thing, it's over in a blink.I’ve been too busy for a straight up binge. Had to take a break after episode 6 too intense haha.
It was great. I wonder how much the timeframe impacts what you think of the show. I was exactly their age at exactly that time. Spent birthdays traveling to Waterbury so we could play video games at Chuck E. Cheeses, back before they were a lame "trade quarters for tickets for crap" rip off "arcade". So for me, it's perfect.
Just finished season 2 over the weekend. Loved it but found episode 7 (the lost sister) to be dumb and unnecessary. Last 2 episodes were fantastic. Loved the Jurassic Park reference when they had to reset the circuit breakers and of course I loved Sean Astin (aka Mikey from the Goonies) wonder out loud if the "X" on the map meant there was pirate treasure there.
Thought some of the characters were pretty pointless this season, Max's brother and his weird hatred for no reason of Lucas. Jonathan was pretty worthless this season, cant remember if he had a bigger role in the season in 1.
Agree on episode 7. Felt like a filler. Or maybe set up to season 3 somehow?

Can't fault Max's brother for that connection with Mike's mom. 3rdbass.
How did 008 go from being a black girl to an Indian girl? Anyway, kinda hot.Well - now we have seen 011, and 008 - where are the rest of them? Think a Season 3 set up...
You bring up some really valid points. But most of them fall into the “best not to think about it” catergory. What I don’t get isSorry if I missed it and am asking dumb questions
was the “antagonist” ever explained at all? What it is, why it’s there, how it is linked to the “upside down”, why it cares about Will, and its overall motive? And so was it never really at all vanquished by eleven? Did anything happen to that doctor guy who seemed to be the main human antagonist? Just got killed by velociraptors? And once again, with a snap of the fingers and a drawn out shot of eleven screaming at the top of her lungs, the problem is wiped away. I get that there will be follow up season but I wish they didn’t just mention the Russian spies once or twice then never address it again
Frankly I hated that it devolved in to Jurassic Park for the last 4 episodes
