The source material is all there; one of the best comic series of the last 20 years is butchered and blandly reconstructed into yet another mindless YA show.
Poorly casted, boring, lacking any of the edge or horror that the fantastic comic possessed in abundance. Word perfect dialogue replaced hack scripting. It's hard to believe Joe Hill was involved in this.
Producers insisted that the story had to be rewritten for tv; how often do they do this and how often do they get it wrong. Tonally all over the place and borderline insulting to adult viewers.
If only this was held back for Duffer Brothers or someone passionate enough to do the source material justice.
If it was bad it would be more interesting, this is just a castrated facsimile of far superior material - when will the tv execs learn?
Pass.
