Stranger Things will she repeat the feat after a first season acclaimed by the critics and the public ?

In July 2016, Stranger Things has taken the world of the short and created the surprise. Out of nowhere, and barely pushed by Netflix with a promo very discreet, the creation of the brothers Duffer has charmed the public and critic, becoming the series unmissable.

More than a year after, the situation is quite different. Season 2 is expected at the turn by the fans excited and all the others, who have seen in this tribute to Steven Spielberg, Stephen King and John Carpenter is a thing little noble, far from being at the height of the general enthusiasm.

Good surprise to provide, however : the first review of the american press is generally very positive or positive.

USA Today

“It is a story more intimate, exciting and focused on the characters, sometimes hampered by its excessive length and the fact that it gets too close to the structure of the first season”

Uproxx

“All the suites are not to the height of the original, but it is better than what I could ever imagine. The series itself could not surprise me a second time ; at which point it continues to be entertaining, if”

The Telegraph

“There was a pressure to create a season at the height of the enthusiasm for mind-boggling the first. This second excursion is to the height“

Indiewire

“Stranger Things 2 is still the series that she has always been, but bigger. Although repetitive in some places and full of intrigue, the season 2 is doped to the nostalgia and the references manages once again to gather the family for a good time”

The Hollywood Reporter

“Stranger Things 2 is good enough, and if your expectations are reasonable, largely satisfactory. The brothers Duffer fall into very few traps of self-importance and self-awareness, and deliver a second season with a larger range of references of the 80’s, an expanded cast of characters, instantly appealing and a mythology in-depth, without the boomy, which condemns inevitably suites”

Collider

“As in the first season, not everything works perfectly but the cumulative effect causes again of the joy, emotion, and chills, satisfactory, and most of all, makes it very endearing that these marginal unite in heroes“

The Independent

“Stranger Things 2 may be easy, but it is also malignant. Built on the familiar, it puts aside any temptation that would have been born of the tremendous success of the series. Thus, we do not have the right to a season that gets lost in its own mythology. There is power in that mystery, and that simplicity, and we can revel in what Stranger Things is the best : nostalgia in its most gentle and melancholic“

Some of the voices dissonant to note :

Wired

“The series is a little too nostalgic for its own good, but this is not enough to ruin his big return. (…) However, season 2 will not disappoint the fans. It is to be classified as a result of masterful.”

Variety

“Until that Stranger Things goes out of control really – and it takes a moment – there is the impression of a series too aware of itself, which turns the fan service from time to time. The good news is that the casting is still extremely flexible and effective, and that once the story is propelled by mid-season, the magic once again to its effect.“

Vanity Fair

“Bigger but not better… A sequel curvy, entertaining by intemmittence, which is detrimental to the fun, the excitement of the original. I still ate it all of a sudden. But I was still hungry an hour after. But not a new bite of the same thing.”

“Season 2 is in some ways like a less cuddly nostalgic, and more to a theme park with a ride for each genre film of the 80’s and 90’s ever made : ‘Welcome… to Spielberg Park !'”

Appointment on the 27th of October on Netflix, to devour season 2 of Stranger Things, to again shout to the genius or the scam.
