It's a bit of a "Stranger Things with older characters" type of story (though not as good IMHO), which makes some sense given the Duffer Brothers were executive producers. It's well-acted and entertaining, just don't go into it expecting much more than that. I mean, there's a bit of an underlying allegory regarding society not paying enough attention to the fate of the elderly, and how consuming the desire can be to maintain one's youth, but this news won't be terribly enlightening to too many viewers.
