Though Stranger Things' second season didn't quite reach the highs of its first, it was still a thoroughly entertaining follow-up, once again taking advantage of its terrific cast, agreeably nostalgic tone and sharp direction.

Yes, many were disappointed by some of the second season's more daring and unexpected decisions, and pretty much everyone complains about the jarringly out-of-place seventh episode, but the addition of Sean Astin in particular helped elevate the season through some of its murkier moments.

Sure, it's basically more of the same, but considering how great the first season was, is that really a bad thing at all?
