You are possibly the only person I have ever seen say that. I've seen mixed reactions to Lucas's anger or resentment or jealously but nothing along the lines of annoying or over acting.
I thought the kids were damn near the lynch pin of the show. Right there nest to Winona and David Harbour. All such strong acting for this.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.

This show was AWESOME, I'm an 80's kid my self and you can easily tell they went all out to really capture how it was back then. I'm looking forward to the next season, only part i didn't like was she ended up with the jock.
Supposedly Stranger Things is one of Netflix's biggest hits ever. From the report I saw, it claimed the show was gaining more and more viewers per week too.
Bravo. I don't think Netflix has ever done better. Well deserved success.
I'm surprised how popular this show seems to be (mostly because I'm not into supernatural stuff), even my wife (she's very picky) gave a lot of love for the first season.
I went in wihtout a clue to what it was other than I do like Winona Rider.
How it capture much of the 80's time, the freedoms we had as kids back then and the movies that most grew up watching and games we played.
I left 8 episodes later amazed at how good it was from nearly every aspect.
I really liked this Netflix original - took me a day to watch the entire show! Liked the whole 80s theme, liked the story, liked actors, liked literally the entire show! Cannot wait for season 2 - hopefully there will be further explanation of everything, like the slug being cuffed up at the end? The up-side-down showing in the bathroom and more! I AM SO HYPED!
Given the current drought the show was unexpectedly fine but not not amazing. Acrobatic plot was all over the place. Maybe season 2 will tie some things up. I admit though that suspense was well worked and character development was great.
Looks like a season 2 has been officially approved.

This series completes me.
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.
Netflix and the Duffer Brothers are killing it with this show. The preview for season two is a slice of marketing genius.
Brilliant.
Oh man, The Pollywog, isn't that an Alice in Wonderland thing?
I think Alice has the a Caterpillar but I guess it could mean something similar. Something that changes from one thing to another.
I could see the slug as this reference. A pollywog is another name for a tadpole and it eventually morphs into a frog. Growing legs and arms and a bigger head. Losing the swimming tail. Amazing transformation really. Maybe something similar happens to the slug and we see that.
I also had a random D&D thought as well. What if its related to another monster from D&D. The Bullywug. A violent frog like creature that loves wet areas. A bit far fetched but they seem to love their D&D references.
The particular spelling of "Pollywog", with a Y, denotes a sailor who has not crossed the sea equator.
It references both transformation and 'crossing over', so to speak. I.E., the Upside Down. I think the implication is that Will can now cross over to the Upside Down at will; Will is the flea.

Watched the show in one sitting. I can't even describe how much I loved it. The directing, the acting, the plot, the effects, the music... Everything was so extremely good.
Overall I think this show is a masterpiece... 10/10
