Stranger Things

For all of you who have not caught on to the global phenomenon that is Stranger Things. The Duffer Brothers have put together a fantastic story combining the antics of young 80's kids with the struggle of government conspiracy with a splash of mystery and horror to make this wonderful bouquet of a show. The show brings back a genre of movie that has long been forgotten since it's time, the 80's movie. Stranger things is able to capture all the cheesy, scary, and adventurous nature of movie and television from back in the 80's. From the monster to the romance to the Dungeons and Dragons adventure that plays within the show, it replicates a time that I was not able to experience, but my parents are always willing to talk about. The kids in the show are reminiscent of the Goonies in how they act and interact with each other, which is something that I really enjoy. Each of the characters within the show are really fleshed out and are given enough depth to make me really care about each of the characters individually. The show may consist of eight episodes, but within the time span of those episodes a really strong story is presented. The Duffer Brothers have made only a couple statements about next season, but I am all the more excited to see what they will do with the series. #JusticeForBarb
