Is this suitable for kids(ages 11-14) ?

It has a bit of swearing and is a bit scary (would be for 11-14 year old's I presume) but other than that it's fine.
thanks.
Been watching it, finished episode 3 last night and really enjoying it. Love the music and the whole 80s vibe and definitely reminds me of ET. I f*cking hate the black kid though.
Surprising...
He might've been the weakest casting aside from Wynona. But if they replace that toothless kid, I'm not bothered about season two.
I'm rewatching it with my gf and I'd say the black kid is a good actor. I feel like he delivers his lines and irritation regarding Eleven in a believable way. I must admit I don't know much about acting but I thought he's just as good as the other kids.
See I'm the opposite. I think he's terrible and the lines he's been given don't help him.
I'm at the final episode now. This is a great show. I think the kids did fantastic jobs in their roles.
Great show, I am in 1x06. Do you know if there will be second season? Could be like True detective? I mean, the same genre but a different story?
Yes, there will be
It'll be a sequel.
Super show....really enjoyed this
Loving it so far. How many films does this remind you of? ET (torches in the woods), Poltetgeist, The Thing, all those teen movies like Pretty in Pink, Stand By Me etc etc
Yeah, I don't think he's bad at all, and I usually pick up on crappily delivered stuff.
Toothless has really come into his own the last few episodes (I've got the last one to go tonight).
Don't think Winona is bad either.
I think the casting is one of the strongest points for me.
Halfway through and loving this. Giving me a real Twin Peaks vibe too.
And Lucas is a dick.

What's so good about this? I'm planning on watching it when I come back from vacation.
Looks like something I'll enjoy a lot. I'll watch it this week.
So many scenes felt like theyd been taken straight out of another film.
Think that's kinda the point. Has a feel of nostalgia.
It's nostalgic, plot driven, focused, well acted, good music, creates tensions and suspense while giving answers progressively.
I don't think there's anything revolutionary (or new at all) but it's just really well executed and there's beauty in that.
I think it's somehow a breath of fresh air whilst also being a cool throwback. Both modern and nostalgic.
Toothless (Dustin) is clearly the winner in all this.
Agree.
for me too.The androgyn style of 11 is also cool.
Great show, great design, music, cast and atmosphere.
Terrible acting and dodgy script aside, great show.
Which sounds ridiculous, I know, but it's true.

Honestly f*** the black kid. What an annoying character, he somehow managed to be more annoying than the bullies & the jocks
The rest of the kids were great, Toothless really shone in the final few episodes, El was brilliant throughout.
I also really liked Winona Ryder's character, I felt her pain & loss the most, thought she was really good in this.

What?
I think the acting varies from decent to exceptional all round, and the script plays it's part in that nostalgic feel. What is it you don't like about these?
Don't even get the Lucas hate myself. He's not an annoying character in my eyes. He just needed winning round with the newcomer, which is a pretty realistic dynamic in a small group of kids.

I kow what you mean, i didnt like him too. But Toothless explained it good for me i guess, the black kid was just jealous.
Toothless, what a guy.
It's quite easy - we are not annoyed at the bad guys, we are mostly annoyed at the characters whose motivation isn't clear to us (although the jealousy explains his behaviour pretty well), like Walter White's wife, for example. Bullies are bullies, we know what they want and they don't do illogical things.he somehow managed to be more annoying than the bullies & the jocks
Yeah that makes sense, and the jealousy thing does match up also. I just can't wrap my head around how he offered almost nothing except complaining about El.
Moany gets

Ah, it's all just pretty bad, but I guess they're mainly kids at the end of the day.
In terms of the script, they just have far too many cheesy little lines that annoy the feck outta me. Like when Nancy walks into the Byers home in the 7th episode and just stops and looks around and says "Woah". So pointless, so cheesy, so shit.
But I watched all 8 episodes in 14 hours so it has something going for it. I just don't understand what that is.
Some are born leaders, some are born fighters and some are born bitches. What I liked about Lucas was that he wasn't just the stereotypical big black bully kid who either gets defeated by the white kids or dies. Alright he was a bit of a bit bitch, but girls drive boys crazy yo!
That's one thing I like about him, they didn't have him be a stereotype he was just as annoying as any other normal kid.
Toothless was great. That compass thing was hilarious.
Why are you keeping this curiosity-door locked? was also the line of the series.

Some guy said today that I should watch this as it is like The Goonies or ET.
I have never seen those and always imagined they were shite, so I doubt I'll watch it.

I strongly recommend that you atleast give it a 1-2 ep trial. I have yet to meet anyone who's seen it and not loved it.
