    The cast remains full of delightful performers, but they sprawl in different directions, many of them boring.

    "Stranger Things 2” delivers the winning combination of darkness, horror, humour, strong acting, and nostalgia expected from the series,"Stranger Things 2” delivers the winning combination of darkness, horror, humour, strong acting, and nostalgia expected from the series, although the plot occasionally meanders to familiar places.

    Starts strong but drops off about half way through. Story is too large and cumbersome, not much character development and not much pay offStarts strong but drops off about half way through. Story is too large and cumbersome, not much character development and not much pay off either. Important characters are tossed aside with weak stories that limp through the series. New characters are brought in, seem interesting but just fizzle out into a silly plot line. Overall it's a good series but they tried to tell far too much of a story in this season and ended up using a lot of cliches. Full Review »
