Netflix dropped Stranger Things 2 onto its streaming platform the weekend before Halloween, and I snapped up all nine episodes before Monday rolled around. Yes, it’s that addictive. Since then, I’ve been meaning to write something about it, but needed more time to formulate how to discuss it. This time, I’m going to try something different from other blog posts.
Stranger Things 1 was magic. It was a sheer joy to watch, with well-developed relationships and a gripping story, soaked in atmosphere. Stranger Things 2 didn’t quite recapture that magic, which would have been a feat, though it was still great television. To its credit, season 2 devoted time to plot elements that vexed some viewers from the first season, including justice for Barb.
