Holy crap, I can't wait to see this. Looks like a perfect hybrid of classic Stephen King meets '80s Spielberg.
I love most Netflix Originals, too. There's almost NO way this won't be a winner.

Hope it's good, I have no reason to think it won't be, but have been let down too many times to not be at least a little skeptical.

Have any of you watched it yet? I want to know how "scary" it is... because my boyfriend watched the whole thing while I was away on vacation and he won't watch it again with me, lol. (Not saying he didn't like it, he liked the show a lot, but he wants me to watch it too) And I don't know if I can watch it myself without getting freaked out...  |

The wife and I watched the first season in a day or two, good show. A couple of jump scares here and there, but overall, just a good story.
I think you'll be fine, but he should watch it with you, just because. I'd watch it again if I could find the time.

We get started on watching something, get about halfway through and he doesn't feel like continuing it... So frustrating because I don't feel like I can finish it myself since I started watching it with him!  But yeah, the extra time is a problem for us too, since he has a long commute every day to (and back from) work, and our weekends end up being spontaneously busy. I guess I'll try to watch it myself, just making sure I try to watch during the daylight.  |

I finally watched this one in its entirety and yes, I loved it!  It wasn't as scary as I expected. I actually watched it with my mom over the Christmas holiday and she wasn't scared either, which says a lot. Haha. It was very interesting and I can't wait to see what direction they take it for season 2! (I think I remember seeing something about there being a season 2...) |

Yes, there will be a season 2. Really like the cast in this, especially Millie Bobby Brown. Great young actress.

You guys need to watch Ash vs. Evil Dead too. Hate to drive it into the ground, but it's the best show you guys aren't watching.
Check out episode one, it's so freaking awesome.
