Stranger Things has even wiggled its way into the holiday season.

Have you ever watched a movie or a show that you loved so much you kept watching it over and over again? Well then here is a good show to watch. If you find mysterious things cool, then watch Stranger Things on Netflix. If you’re debating over whether or not to watch, let me tell you about it.

Stranger Things is set in the rural town of Hawkins, Indiana, during the early 1980s. The nearby Hawkins National Laboratory experiments on the paranormal and supernatural, even when that means using human test subjects. Inadvertently, they have created a portal to an alternate dimension which they call “the Upside Down.” The first season begins in November 1983, when Will Byers is taken by a creature from the Upside Down. His mother, Joyce, and the town’s police chief, Jim Hopper, search for Will. At the same time, a young girl called Eleven escapes from the laboratory and assists Will’s friends, Mike, Dustin, and Lucas, in their own efforts to find Will. They successfully rescue Will and close the portal to the upside-down in season one. The second season is set a year later, starting in October 1984. Will has been rescued, but few know of the details of the events. When it is discovered that Will is still being controlled by creatures from the Upside Down, his friends and family learn there is a larger threat to their universe from the Upside Down. The third season is set several months later, in the days leading up to the Fourth of July of 1985. The new Starcourt Mall has become the center of attention for Hawkins. Unknown to the town, a secret Soviet laboratory under Starcourt seeks to re-open the portal to the upside-down, allowing the creatures from the Upside Down to sneak back onto earth and possess people in Hawkins, creating a new horror to deal with.

I liked the show because of all the details and the setting of the movies. I would recommend this show to people who love mysteries and some scary parts. It is a very short show with only three seasons so it won’t take long to finish if you like short shows. Overall I would recommend this show to anyone who loves a show of mysteries and a big of gore.
