The Upside Down

Stranger Things
S01E08
Season 1 Episode 8

The sheriff saving Will's life was great. The flashback didn't even seem that bad even though it was shoehorned in during the last episode.

Eleven showed up & killed the demogorgon in what was supposed to be some bad-ass scene but it ended up being confusing & annoying. The boys suddenly acted as if a slingshot was going to take out an other-worldy monster. It was really dumb. They aren't David. Then eleven knocked Mike out of her way & almost killed him. She didn't come across as a cool superhero coming to the rescue, she seemed like a monster who was cleaning up her mess.

The worst part was Nancy choosing Steve over Jonathan. Of course that's how it would play out in the real world, but it's still annoying to watch in a tv show. The epilogue with Will vomiting up some eel thing might have been interesting if I cared about these characters but I don't. 

This show is so over-rated. People are just nostalgic for a simpler time before the internet, the alt-right, the alt-left, twitbook, stranger danger, etc. A small homogeneous town in a time when boys could go ride their bikes for hours &  people didn't worry about them being molested. It's funny that people like this show because it is missing all the things that people claim they want. There is no diversity, no immigrants & no SFC. It's about 3 boys trying to save their white male friend.
