- Quotes
Mike Wheeler: Are you feeling any better?
[El shrugs]
Eleven: What's pu-tt-ing?
Mike Wheeler: [chuckling] Pudding. It's this chocolate goo you eat with a spoon. Don't worry. When all this is over you won't have to keep eating junk food and leftovers like a dog anymore. My mom, she's a pretty awesome cook. She can make you whatever you like.
Eleven: Eggos?
Mike Wheeler: Well, yeah Eggos but real food too. See, I was thinking that once all this is over and Will's back and you're not a secret anymore, my parents can get you an actual bed for the basement. Or you can take my room if you want, since I'm always down there anyways. My point is, they'll take care of you. They'll be like your new parents. And Nancy, she'll be like your new sister.
Eleven: Will you be like my brother?
Mike Wheeler: What? No! No...
Eleven: Why 'no'?
Mike Wheeler: Because... cause it's different.
Eleven: Why?
Mike Wheeler: I mean, I don't know, I guess it's not... it's stupid.
Eleven: Mike?
Mike Wheeler: Yeah?
Eleven: Friends don't lie.
Mike Wheeler: Well, I was thinking... maybe we could go to the Snowball together.
Eleven: Snowball?
Mike Wheeler: Yeah. It's this cheesy school dance where you go to the gym and dance to music and stuff. I've never been but I know you're not supposed to go with your sister.
Eleven: No?
Mike Wheeler: I mean, you *can* but it'd be really weird. You go to school dances with someone that... someone that, you know... someone that you... like.
Eleven: A friend?
Mike Wheeler: Not a friend.
[stumbles over his words]
Mike Wheeler: uh... someone like a...

Showing how the trick is not deconstructing a formula that works, but rebuilding it in a way that is both fresh and new.
And they did an awesome job.
The "influences" may be obvious but the twists and turns, the dialog, the direction, the unusual casting, make the whole series fun, engaging, addictive.
The casting in particular. Ryder again does everything but chew up the furniture. So different from her film persona when she was younger! Natalia Dyer sports one of the most interesting faces I've seen in a long time. She is so sympatico and interesting, she steals all her scenes.
David Harbour usually plays bad guys but is terrific as a hero. Millie Bobby Brown is nothing less than unforgettable.
In fact the whole series is unforgettable.
Bring on Season 2. The popcorn is on me.
