Stranger Things season 2: Fans are enjoying this Halloween weekend binge-fest

‘Stranger Things’ has got the world hooked.

The long wait is finally over. Netflix’s popular show ‘Stranger Things’ is back with its second season and fans across the world are on a binge-watching spree. With 9 episodes of roughly 50 minutes each, the show went live yesterday and has the entire world hooked with its 1980s charm. With the Halloween weekend, the show has come at a perfect time as thematically, nothing could be more perfect for this dark science fiction tale set in Hawkins.

With almost 8 hours of content, the show promises to keep its viewers hooked and if its previous season is anything to go by, we can expect that fans would finish watching this season even before the Halloween weekend is over. The phenomenon of ‘Stranger Things’ is not limited to a particular country or region. Thanks to Netflix, this craze has spread across the world. All over social media, fans have been sharing their thoughts about the latest season on Netflix. While some are ecstatic to welcome it back, for others it is way too much emotion to deal with to see Eleven in action again. There have been a few criticisms as well but one can expect that since the first season hit it out of the park and it’s highly unlikely that any season could follow that suit.

Here’s how Twitterati is reacting to the second season of ‘Stranger Things’:

Really great world building going on in #StrangerThings . It’s brave enough to deviate from the beaten track and explore new areas/concepts

2 episodes into #StrangerThings and I’m in love so far. Expected to be disappointed or hesitant, but it engrossed me from the first scene.

One thing I love about both Stranger Things is the storytelling. It’s not just plot. There’s story that’s interesting. #StrangerThings

When you’re binging #StrangerThings and you get a weird call from a weird number who leaves a static filled message…

Shout out to #StrangerThings for helping me forget all the fun Halloween parties and bar scenes that are going on that I am too old to go to

Just emerged from my #StrangerThings hole and it’s dark outside again. Whoops.

Each episode I feel it’s getting more overly convoluted and complex for the sake of being overly convoluted and complex #StrangerThings

This year, some new cast members have also been introduced but the show still maintains its core group of cast members. In the second season, Will is struggling with episodes that take him back to the upside-down. Mike is still trying to get back in touch with Eleven and Dustin is making innocent mistakes that can prove fatal for him and his friends.
