    Man, not that this ever had a chance of happening but this show with custom-made 80's style commercials would've been great.

    The Netflix original brand itself has really built up a stellar reputation. More often than not I'd give those a chance before the traditional tv series.

    The more I read about this thing the more it sounds like a straight ripoff than a homage.

    Nope, not even. The only reason I compare it with some other shows, is just to get ppl to watch it. It's good in its own right.

    I don't get how you can even say ripoff without seeing it.

    There's only 8 episodes, just go watch it instead of jumping to useless conclusions.

    There's actually a few ET comparisons that have been pointed out.

    Yeah sure, the bike scene. But it certainly ended much cooler than that.

    Not just that. The whole "stranger with powers gets hidden in kids' basement chased by some kind of government officials." The bike scene is just icing on that cake.

    I guess we can't ever have a kid with superpowers hiding in the basement any more?

    Stranger Things is just like ET... you guys remember in ET when Elliot's best friend gets eaten by an eyeless monster?

    No, there's plenty of differences, there's just also several similarities, several reviews have commented on this as well. And of course it's not the whole story.

    Similarities does not mean ripoff, though.
