Well I have finally watched all of Stranger Things Season 2 on Netflix and I have decided to give my honest thoughts on what I thought of the second season. Is it worth a watch? OF COURSE But how good is it?
This is the Spoiler Review!

The show is a 1980s drama (Netflix Series) set in Indiana (originally to be set in Montauk, New York), where a young boy vanishes into thin air. Netflix renewed the series for a second season of nine episodes, which was released on October 27, 2017. The Duffer Brothers have confirmed that the series will continue with a third season, pursuing a desire to conclude Stranger Things with a fourth season.It was written and directed by Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer and executive produced by Shawn Levy. It stars Winona Ryder, and David Harbour.
The show is equal parts E.T. , Twin Peaks, The Goonies and a Stephen King Novel, with a splash of Alien in there for good measure.
It gives off a very Steven Spielberg, David Lynch and John Carpenter vibe.
Not to mention here are now the added homages this show pays to: Evil Dead, Gremlins, Empire Strikes Back, The Outsiders, Aliens, Scanners, The Exorcist, and The Thing.

I am playing Evil Within 2, you know so you guys can see something while I talk. Also its surprising how very similar they both are to each other. Both involve a cop, a little girl with abilities, an adjacent dark world, creatures out of H.P. Lovecraft, and a strong female character, as well as 80s shlock.

Eleven and Hopper
Eleven and Kali
Hopper and Joyce
Will was still the maguffin, but a much stronger one and he scared the hell out of me
Eleven has her Luke Skywalker moment, where she goes off alone
Speaking of which lets talk about the new characters of
The character of Billy was pretty useless.
Max was kind of too, but she worked in providing a skeptic with the kids which allowed for a nice juxtaposition
Sean Astin's Bob
Paul Reiser's Sam Owens
Events
The moment that Will gets infected it crazy, inner cut with the words of Bob. Making it sting more
Dustin finding Dart.
The construction of the map and the race to find Hopper. Where Bob shines!
Jonathan and Nancy getting Barb justice. ( I will admit this plot point was weak, and probably put in to appease the Barb fans)
Eleven finding her sister through her comatose mother. And how she trained her? And PAPA alive!
Will being a spy was a nice twist. Being no longer the one who needed saving, but now being the threat.
Bob the Brain Death scene and the escape from the lab
Ending fights
Steve having it out with Billy,
Will's exorcism,
Tunnel burning. (benched)
Eleven closing the gate
Hopper pops out that shotgun in the end.
Final Points:
Favorite characters, Season 3 thoughts and speculation. I don't know if I can give you guys an Ending Explained video, cause even I am unsure of what will happen next.
