OK Neflix, you have finally got me. “Stranger Things” is a great show! You disappointed me with Daredevil, underwhelmed me with Jessica Jones, and couldn’t interest me in House of Cards or Orange is the New Black. But with “Stranger Things” you have tapped into everything I loved about Stephen King, Steven Spielberg, and what the hell Steve Guttenberg, movies (I had to add another Steve).
For the uninformed, The series centers around three friends in the 1980’s – Dustin (Gaten Mattarazzo), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), and Lucas (Caleb McClaughlin) who go on a Goonies search for their lost friend all the while trying to keep ahead of the bad government agents (ET anyone) and the evil monster their work has released. I won’t give up too much else for those who haven’t seen it but I wanted to draw my cartoon homage to the show. Here is a trailer for the series.
Anyone else seen it? Thoughts?
Great drawing, Bearman! If they every do an animated version, they should have you design the characters!
haha…you know I hate drawing the same thing over and over again Mark
I watched a little of it while another member of the family was watching it. I don’t really get hooked on TV shows much anymore. The last time that happened to me was “Desperate Housewives”. I will say the bit I watched was interesting but I thought the kid in the lab was a little too far out.
It takes a real man to admit he watched Desperate Housewives haha
You watched Desperate Housewives??? That’s desperate…
My current Netflix (via Showtime) affair is Penny Dreadful. It is my Stranger Thing.
Penny is on Netflix?? Hmmmm…didn’t know that. Great show…I will miss it.
I have actually heard of this one. I should get bonus points.
2 points. All you get
Looks like it will be good. I’ve watched more TV shows online lately than movies. Orphan Black, The 100, Homeland (never watched it when it was on TV) & am currently watching Covert Affair. I really like being able to watch several episodes in a row rather than having to wait a whole week for the next episode on TV
I like binging certain shows but for the most part I have too much to watch so prefer to wait
I’m too impatient to wait a whole week, especially when it ends on a really exciting bit
We finally caught up with the world and watched the series. Loved it! So now I can appreciate your drawing much more! Can’t wait for season 2. Hope it holds up.
We just watch one series at a time now which is way better than just finding the least crappy show at a given time!
Some shows I like to binge and some I like the slow burn
