Those three kids (Mike, Lucas, Dustin) just killed me. Dustin/Toothless, in particular. Scene stealer.
Agreed. I thought Eleven was great, and even the older siblings were solid. Loved the chief as well.

It felt like a cross between a John Carpenter movie and a Stephen King miniseries, with a dash of The Goonies. I liked it.

Yeah, the first major description I saw said JC crossed with Goonies, and that immediately signed me up. I loved all the nostalgia, was clapping like a total dweeb the entire time. I just wish there were like two more episodes...but then again it was really kinda perfect.

The guys who made the music (S U R V I V E) are from Austin, need to make sure I keep an eye out for a show. And as a motion graphics designer, the title sequence is like straight up porn for me...

I saw a reference to them a few days ago from an old acquaintance of mine (who owns a label in Texas) and after looking them up I'm actually pretty excited about the upcoming soundtrack.

It's every Stephen King telemovie rolled into a Wes Craven directed David Lynch joint.

Soundtrack was amazing.
I'm only half way through m, but I'm loving the direction it's going in.
The Sheriff is rad.
And holy shit is Matthew Modine really that old now?

It should be pointed out that She Has Funny Cars is not included in that.

Granted Toto fucking suck, but the actual soundtrack music score stuff is awesome.

Yeah the score is straight up John Carpenter, so good.

And Toto aside, some good 80s jams in there too. Joy Division and Bangles cohabitating :)*
