Stranger Things Season 2 Discussion Thread

Calling all Stranger Things fans! If you're a really big Stranger Things fan like I am, you'll have been anticipating the release of season 2 ever since you binge watched the first season on Netflix, and became encapsulated by the crazy, eerie world seen in the perhaps unfortunate fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. This is such a refreshing, exciting series, so I think it is clear as to why it has fascintated fans of all ages across the world, and captured our imaginations. From the comical 80s features seen throughout, to the more spooky supernatural elements, it really brings together some really enticing and interesting ideas.

So, we thought it would be great to create a thread where we can all chat about anything Stranger Things, particularly the new season Have a good theory or idea about something? Let us know! Want to join us in the countdown to what should be an amazing second seaon? You're in the right place! Here we can all discuss the second season as we watch it, sharing ideas and opinions, and having a general chit chat about it.

For anyone who hasn't really heard of the series but is perhaps interested in giving it a go, here's a little background from Wikipedia:

"This thrilling Netflix original drama stars Golden Globe-winning actress Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, who lives in a small Indiana town in 1983 -- inspired by a time when tales of science fiction captivated audiences. When Joyce's 12-year-old son, Will, goes missing, she launches a terrifying investigation into his disappearance with local authorities. As they search for answers, they unravel a series of extraordinary mysteries involving secret government experiments, unnerving supernatural forces, and a very unusual little girl."

There is still time for you to catch up over the next few days so you can watch the second season alongside us and get involved with this discussion! If you have any spare time away from your studies/work (because, kids, studying is obviously important ), or you want a break from all of that effort you have been putting in, have a watch! It's half term, you deserve a treat it's a great way to get into the halloween spirit and I'd definitely recommend you at least give it a try!

So, are you ready for season 2? What is your favourite thing about the show? Are you prepared for the unknown?

It will be released a day after my admissoons test.
Can't wait for it 😎

Yessss! I am so excited for S2. From the trailer it looked like it's going to be quite a bit darker than S1 which is amazing.

And I definitely agree - it will be perfect for getting into the Halloween spirit!

God I LOVE Stranger Things. Trailer looks awesome:

The trailer has me so pumped!!! I hope we get to know more about eleven, i really wanna know if Hopper is her dad or not. I hope season to isn't a let down to season one though.

I cannot even tell you how many times I've rewatched season 1. I believe it is genuinely one of the best TV shows out right now. I am so excited for season 2, I'm going to dedicate the whole day to just watching it - no pacing myself haha. One thing I'm curious about is the new characters. Often, I don't really adapt to new characters too well, but I guess the absence of Eleven from the boys means that a girl should be introduced to make it a little more interesting and dynamic.

It will be released a day after my admissoons test.
Can't wait for it 😎

I'm so excited!!

Ooh, a nice reward then! Good luck with your test!

I didn't even realise that could be a theory! I googled it and this article is pretty interesting - maybe that Hopper had a daughter who was part of the same programme but not actually Eleven.

Everyone forgets about Barbara..

I've heard many good things about the show. Guessing I'm the only one here who hasn't watched it yet?
