No amount of budget can ever replicate this feeling.

This episode was a masterpiece man 😭

Back when ST was genuine story 🥺

Good lord, season 1 was so special.

Shooting at real places>> cgi

Look how they seem actual person with real relationships with each other

Honestly seeing this compared to season 5 is an entirely different show, and I don’t mean that in a good way, season 1 was so creative

Was watching this last night. Genuinely great season. Should’ve been the only season imo.

this is why no matter how much i hate the finale, ill always keep season 1 in my heart

Season 2 was still fine, from season 3 is where they dropped the ball.

Og Boys & Eleven = Stranger things

How are these the same writers that wrote season 5? Was the budget too big? Should we just cut budgets for shows so that writers become more creative and won’t shove CGI and big ass sets everywhere?

Mike's and El's acting is very emotional

Best season. Nancy was just a teenager, not a skeletor rambo

I think it’s kinda sweet that even after Mike is pissed off with Eleven here, he still feels a strong incentive to help her. Even after this, he still let her stay in his basement and stuff. I’m glad this wasn’t one of those “forget you” moments cuz she’s still a traumatized girl

Beautiful piece of drama.. That show feels light years away from the end of season 5.. For me personally all the core cast played those first 2 seasons so well..

This show used to mean something man

This scene was a GUT PUNCH back when I first watched it. Makes you the viewer genuinely think for a moment that everything was all for nothing

Best scene in the series for me

The show used to be so good. We had a connection to the characters and their thought processes.

This scene always makes me cry even tho ik he’s not dead

They are good actors, i think that there power was lost through the seasons passing.

How tf did I watch this shit

cant believe the quality declined as much as it did in the last season

This moment in Season 1 was the first time felt like oh shit this is an amazing show, you genuinely believed he was dead and then there were like millions theories in your head, was Will an echo? Is his body gone but spirit around etc

It makes still cry when I rewatch season one

great moment in the show

i just realised they used the same song here for the outro

S1 is a masterpiece of TV and nostalgia.

Where did the talent gooo bruh

Man that 1st season was great television

Not to be nitpicky or anything, but how did Hawkins lab know exactly what Will was wearing when he went missing??
