no

little rant (that's probably not gonna be little AT ALL- i'm having too many emotions rn that i can't deal if i don't put it out somewhere)

i'm so sick of people under appreciating the beautiful script of season 1, its characters, depth, storyline, everything was tied so well creating it into a masterpiece of a show.

i used to be afraid of watching it (usually watched it with my eyes closed) but i remember, from cancelling out the scary parts, the feeling of watching the whole thing come alive like i was watching a documentary series. everything felt raw and real, and now after rewatching it, OH MY GOD what a fucking show.

the byers' family being a WRECK, blaming themselves for not being there, having us learn little pieces of their lives (suffering from financial problems, past domestic violence) was what made it so intriguing because it wasn't just another series were a kid goes missing and it's all flashbacks of memories. instead, they giveaway bits of pieces here and there, really letting us feel the way it's hard to cope with those problems because they couldn't even talk about it without getting teary eyed or stuttering. all the praises to winona and charlie, i thank you for the amazing performance.
