    I feel exactly the same way. I normally don't watch seasons of TV shows multiple times anymore just because there's way more great shows nowadays that I try to keep up with. However, Stranger Things really struck a chord with me, and I've already watched it three times.

    The wife and I just finished this up. Man it was so good. The feel of it reminded me of my childhood. It was creepy, spooky and intense when it needed to be but light hearted at times to mellow it out. I enjoy something like this immensely more than a typical horror movie. I can't wait till ST2 comes in October. Might have to watch it one more time before then.

    This year?? Christ, that's possibly the best DVD packaging I've seen ever! Now THAT is a clever as hell labor of love right there. Unbelievably cool.

    That's awesome! But I hope there's a regular version too, since that definitely won't fit on my Blu-Ray shelves.

    Well we watched the first disc today and damn, this show is what American Horror Story should have been. It's pretty enjoyable thus far with a great mystery, conspiracy theories, a possible monster, and a Silent Hill-esque alternate world. Love the constant X-Men remarks the toothless kid makes towards 11.

    The one thing I want to see more than anything is Edward Cullen... I mean Steve, having a slow and painful death at the hands of whatever the monster is.

    The music rocks, although, the Blu-Ray is probably one of the worst Blu-Rays I have ever encountered. Unskippable trailers at the beginning of the disc (one of which is like a 4 minute trailer for Season 2, which makes no sense to put on for Season 1). Secondly, they didn't bother to put a chapter stop after the opening credits to the show, so you either have to sit through the credits every time or fast foward through them, which can be annoying depending on the player. Thank the gods the PS3 makes fast forwarding simplistic.

    If we didn't have friends coming out in the next hour, I would totally watch the other disc right now. Oh well, I can wait until tomorrow.

    So we finished the first season just a few minutes ago and I really don't see a need for there to be a second season. This was just perfect. There is no way another season is going to be on par with this one. I loved every minute of it. The bits in the alternate world were down right phenomenal and the payoff to the monster was well worth the build up. Just absolutely wonderful. This may be Netflix's best show ever.

    Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, since there IS a second season, HOLY CRAP I NEED TO SEE IT NOW!!! IN FACT, FORGET STREAMING IT NETFLIX, JUST GIVE IT TO ME ON BLU-RAY RIGHT NOW!!!! I WILL BUY IT WITHOUT WAITING A SECOND!!!!!!!!!
