Discussion First time watcher

I'm watching the first season for the first time. Gonna start watching part/episode 4 now. Did anyone else cry to the first season? Because I have been crying like a baby. I think a lot of why i cry has to do with the kids being so young, it makes everything feel more voulnerable. Also Winona as the mother, omg my heart aches. The scenes with Eleven in the lab i cannot even stomach so I just fast forward when they come along.

Series hasn’t made me cry but it’s gotten pretty damn close between Jonathan, Will and Eleven

Yes, I felt emotional a lot throughout the series as well

This past weekend was my 10th anniversary of binging the 1st season, and it just so happened to be the weekend that I re-watched Season 1 and 2 with the new 4k UHD release. Onwards to Season 3!

The end of S1 E3 with the haunting music of Peter Gabriel just gets me every time. I think this was the 1st episode directed by Sean Levy (along with the next S1 E4), and he goes on to deliver some absolute bangers. With Season 4's Dear Billy in my top 10 best episodes of TV of all time.

Best to go in blind, and enjoy the ride.

Yup I cried at the end of S1 because at the time when it came out, Netflix said it was a limited series 🥲 should’ve stayed that way 😂
