I actually liked him as a character a lot. Felt like the final episode and the scene with his father was incredibly powerful. But no way I buy he's even 19 after being held back a year. We didn't get his full back story but I picture spending a year or two in juvy and then failing a grade or two. Hope we get more in Season 3.

But as far as it goes it just seems like a 23 year old dude trying to play a highschool kid. Not a big complaint. But I was a fan of the first season in part due to everyone looking their age.

Dude is only 22 in real life, so he was 21 when the show was filmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I thought the same thing about Billy, but before I pointed it out I made sure I wasn't way off. I was way off. As devils said, he was 21 when he filmed a 19-year-old's part. He might as well be in diapers for how old the actors who usually play high school characters are.

But he could pass as a dude in his late 20s imo. LIS, not complaining. It just took me out of the show when he was on. Took me out enough that I needed to look up his age cause he looked so old. I would prefer to talk about Steve if were being honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best character on the show. We need a Steve spinoff when he goes to college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Doyle Rules Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I agree episode 7 throws the feel of the show completely off. Only episode in the whole series I didn't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Started watching the show on Friday with season 1. Finished season 2 last night. Great show. Very enjoyable watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I get the complaints about episode 7. It was a bad episode. Those characters were truly, truly, truly awful. The reason I won't defend it is because, other than Kali, I don't want those characters anywhere near my all-time favorite TV series. The crazy-haired girl with no social skills and no intelligence, the armed and dangerous criminal who wears the most easily identifiable Mohawk everywhere and has a personality written by an eighth grader, and the gentle giant who can't act and the other character that seems to just drive, look out windows all the time, smoke cigarettes and worry... They were all truly, truly, truly, truly awful characters that would make me stop watching a series if they were regulars, but they were tolerable because they were just side characters in a side episode meant to highlight a supporting character, who was a foil to a very integral character in the main series. Duffer Brothers, I love what you're doing, but please kill those other characters in every sense of the word and have Kali dismiss them in season three without even bringing the actors who played the characters back. There is no need whatsoever to have another season, episode or even scene with those characters. You can keep Kali, but not the others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason he looked older was because of that mustache which a lot of high schoolers had in that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Another thing that we should all credit the creators of this show on was how they gave a sideplot to almost every main character, and especially all the main friend characters. They could have easily made Lucas a token black character without any development whatsoever or made Dustin the comic relief, but Lucas with Max and Dustin with Steve and the development they went through as characters was extremely well-done this season. Mike is my favorite of the four friends; he didn't get much development this season, but that's probably because season one he was the main focus, so that was alright. Eleven has been developing, too. I finished watching it on Saturday I think and I still can't stop thinking about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Doyle Rules Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) This might be the only show ever, where I actually wanted the popular kid to get the girl, and not the nerd. Edited November 1, 2017 by O'Doyle Rules 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neumatic Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I just started watching this. Finishing up the 5th episode of the first season. This is a great show so far, has really impressed me. This is one of those shows that just pulls you in and tests your self control. If I had to work tomorrow I'd be screwed because I'm not turning this off.
