(Beware of spoilers if you haven’t seen this series yet!)
From the title we can understand that this isn’t a comedy nor a cartoon series. “Stranger things” is an American sci-fi- horror TV series you can see on Netflix.
It has been created by the Duffer brothers and the first season was released in July 2016, the second one in October 2017.
The story is set in Hawkins, a small American town. Next to this quiet town there is a huge laboratory that carries out scientific research, but secretly explores the paranormal and supernatural. Inadvertently, they created a portal that connected our dimension with another dimension, called Upside Down. Strange creatures live in this dimension and they want to enter our world to kill human beings.
One night a boy, Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), mysteriously disappears prompting his panicked mother, Joyce (Winona Ryder), to seek the help of Chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour). Will's friends Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) start their own investigations and run into a mysterious girl, who calls herself Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and seems connected to Will's disappearance. Intriguing, isn’t it? If this isn’t enough to give you the right motivation to see this series, go on reading my post! I love it and I think it’s a real TV masterpiece. Here are 4 more reasons why you should watch it. They are also the reasons why I am hooked with Stranger Things.
1. THE MUSIC IS TOUCHING: I think that the soundtrack is magnificent and perfect, because it gives you the right touch of hesitation and uncertainty and helps create suspance. In addition to
that, Stranger Things features many ‘80s pop hits. Who doesn’t like some good songs from the 1980s?
2. THE ACTORS ARE VERY GOOD: All the actors, from the youngest to the adults are very talented. The actors seem so involved, they just become the character they play, both physically and mentally.
3. IT IS A GREAT MIXTURE BETWEEN MANY GENRES: This is surely a sci-fi- horror series, but some characters like Dustin and Lucas, sometimes break the atmosphere with some jokes and puns. The coolest aspect in this TV series is that we can have both humour and horror.

4. IT WILL TAKE YOU STRAIGHT BACK TO THE 80s: Honestly I didn’t know much about the 1980s, but now I can say that I know a bit more: the phones they used and the music they listened to, the video games they played then, the cars, the fashion and the hairstyle!
I hope I have persuaded you to start seeing this wonderful TV series if you haven’t done it yet. I’m sure you’ll love it!
Having seen the entire seasons I can tell this is now one of the best tv series out there, really liked especially the mysterious and creepy atmosphere that can really make your imagination tingle with curiosity.
