Enjoying Stranger Things. Similar?


I haven't watched this show, but I'm currently finishing the first season of Stranger Things. Pretty solid show so far.

How would you compare the two shows?

I liked Stranger Things after episode two, but it's just not very original. Eeerie Indiana was smart and funny. Hard to believe there was only ever one season.

It is not like Stranger things at all. Stranger things is brilliant but it is part drama and it can get heavy. Eerie Indiana is just a fun little half hour show that never get's too dark because it was made to be seen by children after all. There is one episode with an off screen death but even with that it is still constantly light hearted. I love eerie Indiana and I consider it to be one of the greatest kids live action show ever made.

I watched all of Eerie, Indiana. I loved it. I bailed after 3 episodes of Stranger Things. I did not love it, and I hate the music choices.

Ever notice how often the word “brilliant” is used by people who are not?

I found it on Amazon Prime and started watching it.

I love how it's suppose to be in Indiana, but in the opening scene when the main character describes how and why he lives there you can see Southern California Palm trees in the background tree line! LOL
