Stranger Things is honestly one of the best shows I’ve ever watched and one of my favorites. To start off, the old school vibe attracted me to the show. Stranger Things is a very action packed netflix series with 4 seasons and the show will not let you down. The show consists of a group of teenage kids with supernatural powers that try and defeat vecna and the upside down. The characters are what really grab my attention as well. I can’t help but love the friendship between Mike, Dustin, and the rest of the group, this is what makes the show so good. Although we could never experience what they did in the show in real life, They feel like real people, and their struggles with growing up, dealing with school, and handling the insane situations they’re in are easy to connect with. Plus, Eleven, my favorite character, helped the friend group defeat the upside down with her telepathic super powers.and her journey of figuring out who she is really hits hard. The monsters and the whole Upside Down thing make the show never get boring ,and made me be addicted to the show. But what makes Stranger Things stand out for me is how it mixes all these intense, scary moments that kept me on the edge of my seat. With a cliffhanger after every episode I Just could not get enough of Stranger Things. One minute, you’re scared out of your mind, and the next, you’re laughing or getting emotional over a scene in the show. The show doesn’t just rely on the things that make you scared; it actually makes you care about what happens to the characters. It’s rare to find a show that can balance all these details so well. I have watched all four seasons twice, but the second time I watched all four seasons in three days.
