Is it for me?
Kids-on-bikes adventure fans who grew up on Spielberg will feel at home, and so will viewers who want scares from mood rather than gore. Joyce covers her wall in painted letters and Christmas lights and waits for her missing son to answer. Winona Ryder plays her frantic and unbelieved, while Eleven says almost nothing and lets her stare do the talking.
Before you start
Season one is eight episodes of a single continuous mystery; later seasons add more characters and locations, so the pace and the number of storylines change.
5 seasons, 42 episodes, 65 min each, about 45 hours so far
