Yep, that seems to be the case.I'm finding it's Amazon for the films, Netflix for the TV.
Jonathan from 'Stranger Things' was not allowed into the US because he had a bit of cocaine on him. Will they have to creatively kill off his character?

It's a pity that (so far) Amazon doesn't seem to use the same casting technology as Youtube and Netflix to allow users to stream films to their TV. Or am I out of date with that?
Yep, I just tried that earlier after I posted.I stream films (and TV eps) from Amazon on my TV, have done for a couple of years now. Get a password from the site, type it into the TV app and away you go. Either that or get one of them special sticks.
Well, being caught with drugs is usually a disqualifier for entry into the USIf involvement in drug abuse ever becomes an irrevocable disqualifier for a telly career, I think that most of the UK's TV output will resemble:
You seem to be echoing the general opinion here. That is virtually a wasted episode, and seems not to serve any narrative purpose. Perhaps an attempt to explore the show's eighties style in a different environment, but it feels as though it comes from another, less worthwhile show.I'm getting near the end of Stranger Things 2 and have greatly enjoyed it, but episode 7 is a major stumbling block. El's new street punk friends are so So. Fucking. Lame.
The other criticism of Stranger Things 2 which I think is valid is that it doesn't expand our knowledge of the Upside-down, or add very much new at all really. The first season presented this cool parallel world which we learned about as the series went on. We haven't really discovered anything very new in the second season
El's sister might still play that role in season 3. I hope she does return to justify her otherwise pointless presence in this season.I'd didn't hate it, but I lamented the loss of focus.
It could have had a very useful narrative role if the other psychic girl was basically Darth Vader (if you'll pardon the lazy shorthand): a glimpse of what Eleven could become if she doesn't control the anger that is bubbling up with puberty and Hopper, her surrogate father; it could have been interesting, but in the end it was just dicking around. The other girl (non-memorable name forgotten) was not really bad enough to prove a warning because the writers were at pains to justify her thirst for vengeance by laying out the abuse she had suffered.
As for the problem of making her black and Eleven white...
:bmonk:
Nah...
Duffer Brothers accused of abusive behaviour on the ST set:

They deny it, and Netflix say they have investigated and found nothing untoward. This is the same Netflix that backed the abusive showrunner of their Fuller House sitcom and the accused rapist Danny Masterson on his show, though. Who knows?! It's getting so you can't enjoy anything anymore!
