Stranger Things 1 & 2

[tiggerblue10]

Has anyone seen this? My work colleagues recommended it so I binge-watched both seasons last weekend.

Absolutely loved it and the child actors are brilliant especially Millie Bobby Brown. Its funny, nostalgic, a bit scary in parts, an 80s throwback with some classic tunes and very entertaining.

As I'm fed up and bored of mainstream TV I've resorted to Amazon Prime and Netflix recently so any recommendations gratefully received.

I loved it, I thought the second series was even better than the first. It's so well made and I love all the 80's throwback.

The kids are amazing actors and actresses, a lot of talent there and definitely ones to watch. I love Dustin, he is my favourite. Steve too. I've heard it's already agreed for seasons three and four and so glad!

Absolutely overrated
Was expecting more than this, cringing comes to mind
Is this typical of netflix,?

[Eve]

The "horror" side is a bit daft, though better in the second season, but I love the rest of it, bit like Stephen King meets The Goonies.

13 Reasons Why is very good. I will warn you though that it does make for difficult, and in parts quite harrowing watching, but it's very well made. I keep meaning to read the book it's based on.

Did you catch Big Little Lies, that was really good. Took me a little bit to get in to it but really enjoyed it. Nicole Kidman is fantastic in it. I really enjoy Lianne Moriarty's books too.

Excellent series... we watched all the 2nd series in 2 nights straight off.... believe a 3rd series is in the making

Kidman / big little lies, now that sounds up my street

My daughter loved this and recommended I watch it. I haven't as yet, don't have Netflix. Can I buy box set?

[tiggerblue10]

I haven't seen Big Little Lies Eve but putting that on my to watch list.

I've only recently got Netflix and Amazon Prime so working my way through things I've never watched like Fear The Walking Dead, American Horror Story etc.

It's just a bit of fun to detach from normal life Piggynose. Obviously not everyone's cup of tea.

I've tried looking for box sets Patsy but don't think they're available yet.

If you can get into Orphan Black you have 6 seasons to enjoy the versatility of actress Tatiana Maslany who plays all the cloned sisters. I recommended this to my 13yo grand-daughter and she in turn to her friends. They keep asking her if her grandad has recommended anything else for them to watch:-)

[Patsy33]

That's a shame tiggerblue. Although I'm going to London to see my daughter in a couple of weeks, so will try and watch some there.

[tiggerblue10]

Cheers Ken will look out for that as well :o)

Got quite a few things on my list now.

[Voltage]

if you like supernatural things we loved "constantine" shame there was only one series made of it

[tiggerblue10]

My list is growing every bigger Voltage :o)

[tiggerblue10]

Hope you enjoy it Patsy.

[Voltage]

whatever you watch enjoy

I enjoyed Orphan Black but it went a bit downhill for me but need to try and give it a go to get back in to it. Tatiana Maslany is seriously impressive playing so many different characters and making it seem so believable it isn't just one actress playing them all.

I like Fear the Walking Dead, it tends to go a bit up and down but has really picked up. Not as good as The Walking Dead but that's quite a hard act to follow.

[piggynose]

cant stand watching american kid actors, so irritating, to the point of unwatchable. will try and read the book one day, though.

Yes, this is my favorite show on Netflix right now. It's so good, love the characters; Eleven's my favorite and you know there's always going to be some suspense around every corner. I love how it's set in the 80's and the music they chose for the show and I also really love the outfits too! Another show I reccomend is Outer Banks or Sweet Magnolias.
