Only about 15 min into episode 1, and I turned to my wife and said this feels like an homage to Stephen King. Popped it into google, and apparently, he was the inspiration for the series. Any big fans will notice a ton of veiled nods to him. Everything from character names to the font used in the opening title, and other subtle choices as well.

Watched the first 3 episodes last night and I'm hooked.

PC nailed it. It's like a really well made 80's movie.

Is "whacked" similar to "whack", or more like "wicked"?

I finished the series. Amazing as a genre series. I find some of the praise to be hyperbolic, but it was a great watch and I would recommend to everyone.

Will be interesting to see if they can maintain it in future seasons, which they are hoping to produce. I would have preferred it as a one-off miniseries because so often with material like this it goes downhill fast.

I skipped the whole thread, but Wife and I love this show. We have two episodes left.

It's so retro, and well done that I keep forgetting it wasn't filmed in 1983.

The theme song IS EPIC!!!! Where can I find some sweet ass synth music like that?

Sounded almost identical to the fight scene in Only God Forgives.

Finished season 1 last night. Great show! Not sure about best Netflix series ever, as there have been many good ones, but this really didn't disappoint.

I don't think you'll give up. It's really good and it is very 80's. And spooky.

Show was great. It walks the line of an homage and a re-imagining of Stephen King's "IT". If you have seen the movie, you will notice it, and if you've read the book, it's impossible not to. Enjoyed it immensely.
