It's my favourite show of the year so far but I think the new upcoming third series of Black Mirror is going to dethrone it.

Not going to go into details, but I also found a lot of moments that are inconsistent or behaviour just doesn't make any sense. First four episodes are ok and I can give said moments a pass, but episode 5 is like a generic bad horror movie where you're just constantly asking, why a character would do the things they are doing. In other words, it's falling apart.

Maybe someone has already mentioned it, but I had a harder time with two other more unlikely issues in the story.
One, why would Hawkins lab create a near identical dummy match for Will's body? What point does this serve for them. It makes the story more interesting by having his family and friends believe he's really dead, but how can we believe that this lab that just accidentally opened a portal to hell and unleashed a demon and a super mutant kid on a small town, would funnel resources into creating a dummy dead body for a kid that they've only seen in pictures? Kids go missing all the time. Just let him stay missing. Also, who is the employee at Hawkins lab in charge of creating realistic versions of dead people? Is that in house, or did they have to call in a contractor?
Secondly, why did Hopper get so far in the facility and just end up waking up in his trailer the next day? He then goes on to beat up several state police, and no one seems to be looking for him? Considering how quick the lab was willing to wipe out Benny in the restaurant, letting Hopper out seems like a much bigger loose end.

I too feel like it was such a perfect season I don't know if I want another one. I look at it as one long movie and sequels aren't usually as good.

They can use the fact it was released in November 1983 in Canada before the U.S. in January 1984. Steve's car radio was picking up Canadian radio stations. Timeframe works since a month later it's Christmas.

Eleven made sure she made eye contact with the bitch. Her eyes read "this is for Benny, you bitch!"

How is that racist?
And when the name Bobby Brown is mentioned, who do you think of first? I'm a borderline millennial, I guess even this board is too young to know who Bobby Brown is

If a close friend or family member were in danger I think it would be easy for anyone to lose control. I am a calm, laid back sort of dude, but nothing sets me off like someone messing with my friends or family. I don't know what I would be capable of if I were put in those situations with her powers.
I felt it was very much in character and I liked the way she was portrayed.

Wasn't there a scene in Poltergeist where a guy was looking in the mirror of a bathroom and pulls his own face off after eating some steak that turns to maggots?
Not a direct reference 😉 but the mirror/view of another darker world kinda fits. Probably a bit too dark for a PG 13, although (I've just checked it) and the Plasticine model looks more comedy than horror nowadays ha ha ha 😄

Agreed. Pacing is perfect. Feels like a long/movie book. But it also feels like a TV series too, benefiting from good cliffhangers. So yeah, a novel. I think this could be the future of adapting popular novels.
