Nothing, its just that it started as yet another Netflix teen show, no one have expectations for how big it became.

It's definitely wasn't made as "just another teen show". It was pitched and created as an homage to Stephen King books/movies of the 80s. And the young kids weren't even teens and were all nerdy outcasts. There was also an entire adult subplot. The teens only made up 1/3 of the show and they weren't the main characters.

When I saw the first trailers and info it never struck me as "yet another teen show". It seemed refreshingly different and something I instantly wanted to watch.

Its nothing different than a season one of any other Netflix show though. Literally the same formula as Wednesday. Ya show that cashes in on nostalgia

Yeah it's quite a bit different. There's a reason it's one of the biggest shows Netflix ever made. Because it's different.
