What a joy - along with the eighties-on-blast aesthetic and ringing of the childhood-nostalgia bell (all that bicycle-riding!) and tapping into later-adolescence high school iconography, the show commits early to its 'monster' and 'more things in heaven and earth' elements and is the better for it. It's exactly the right amount of actually dark and creepy. The Stephen King call-out is deserved. Bonus: Winona Ryder hasn't looked this good in years.
