Just 2 episodes in, but holy shit, the music and the atmosphere is just fantastic! Great characters too.

It really deserves more attention.

The show was great until it started getting unrealistic towards the end.
1. Why did they ever let the cop out of the facility the first time, much less let him go through the portal the second time? Because the gave him their "word"? Please.

In exchange for the location of 11, they figured he would just die in the Upside Down world, so they more or less considered him dead anyways. Win-win in their eyes, hes dead and they know were 11 is.

2. How did the cop manage to knock out those three government agents near the bus that were armed to the teeth? Is he a part time ninja?

Got the jump on them? He seems pretty competent I guess. I doubt he'd be able to take out three, but he seems to have gotten them via surprise.

3. Why didn't the government agents listen in on the call to the science teacher and determine they were going to the school?

Good point

4. Why did bullets have no effect on that scrawny looking monster that had no armor or thick coat or anything?

Why didn't it just dimension hop when it was being murdered by 11, I mean it dimension hopped when it was set on fire, right? Monster was pretty inconsistent.

5. Why did everyone just accept the fact that these girl had super powers within 5 seconds of hearing it and just went along with the salt water plan with no questions asked?

I think they'd all seen their share of crazy shit and were more or less willing to accept additional crazy shit. Cop saw the portal, Mom and Johnathon and Nancy had all seen the monster, whats one more crazy thing?

6. How did they manage to gather all the materials and build the water tank within a couple hours?

It wasn't that complicated right, a kiddie pool with salt in the water and some ducked taped goggles. Goggles probably came from inside the school, and its not hard to find a kiddie pool or salt, it was likely getting to be around winter time, and its pretty common for bags of salt for melting snow to be sold.

7. How did that kid survive in a toxic, cold, wet environment without any food for what seemed like a week?

He seemed like he was dying, I could kind of believe the no food part, but for having a "toxic atmosphere" (that Nancy seemed to be just fine in) and it being cold and wet I did figure he'd have just died of hypothermia.

8. How did the kid communicate via the wall of letters and lights when he couldn't see any of it and had no way of knowing that his actions were having any effect?

Good point.

9. How does the other side mimic the real world? If I knock down a house in the real world does it change the other side and vice versa? If that's true then why wasn't the alien aware of earth before eleven made contact with him?

Also weird, but I kind of accept this as something to be explained later, the rules of the Upside Down World are probably strange and specific.
