How did you find out about Stranger Things?

I saw multiple references to it on sites I follow, which included cracked, imgur and tumblr. I kept seeing news stories which featured the "kids of Stranger Things" and noticed they were becoming popular, but didn't know who they were or why. I also remember seeing a cosplay pic, although tongue-in-cheek, and being intrigued by it. Here's a link to the pic:

Although I generally dislike tv shows, I decided to sit down and see what the hubbub was all about. I was transfixed!
I've now watched it twice (the second time with my kids) and we all love it.
I don't know if they can recapture the lightning in the bottle in season two, but here's to hoping. -

Online hype, which I would typically ignore, but it sounded like the type of show I would like anyway. So I subscribed to Netflix
just
for this show and watched the whole series in a few days. That was about a month and a half ago. -

A couple of posters on another board recommended it to me. I wasnt fussed on Winona Ryder and didnt want to see an adult show where the focus is on kids so gave up halfway through the pilot. My husband watched a few episodes and said to give it another go, and the posters on the other board said the same, so when I had nothing else to watch I binged it. It was the nostalgia element and the kids' acting that won me over.

I had heard about the show either right before or right after it had been released and it sounded interesting, so I looked up the synopsis here on imdb, but it made it sound like it was going to be more a a ghost story or something like that. I don't know why the Duffer bros insisted on promoting it so much as a supernatural or paranormal show. Maybe they thought calling it a sci-fi show would turn people off? Anyway, I love sci-fi, but i don't do paranormal ghost stuff at all, so I didn't bother watching it at first, but then about a month after it was released my friend told me to check it out and he swore it wasn't like that at all and I'm glad he did because ST has easily jumped to the top of my list of favorite TV shows. I just finished watching it, then I swore the show exploded. I loved everything about it. I loved the small scale feel of it and making it take place in the 80's was a perfect choice. I loved watching a show where people had to figure out things without the internet or smart phones. I made it more suspenseful. I can't wait for season 2!!!

My dog's registered name was Tuklat. Apparently it means "little bear" in Inuit or something like that. I'm not 100% sure, but that's what I was told. I liked the name though. It's different and I've been using it now for 15 years as my user name for things because no one else has it

First I heard of it is when the studio contacted me to hire me as a shill and write fake reviews and forum posts on imdb praising it. Then I watched the show and actually enjoyed it. So I didn't feel quite so guilty for whoring out my stellar online credibility for a shill paycheck.
One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
