Stranger Things

At home, we have basically devoured this show in one go. Stranger Things has the best of what I liked about old action/adventure/horror movies from the 1980s that I used to watch in the 1990s. A certain mysticism, fear, child heroes and an amazing contemporary synthwave music. If anyone holds classic movie adventures of times past close to their heart, don’t hesitate! This will definitely grab your attention. Stranger Things has an amazing style and I personally hope that it won’t end at the first season. (08/27/2016)

The second series of Stranger Things has managed to do the same thing as the first one; it came up with a mysterious story that smoothly connects to the first one, all while creating its own confident environment which was fun from the beginning till the very end. The 1980s atmosphere is apparent from the hairdos alone and there are nice moments where the creators paid homage to some film legends from Terminator to Indiana Jones. By the end, I wished that the main gang with Eleven in the lead never got old and stayed this awesome forever. Let’s hope that the third series comes as soon as possible. (11/16/2017)

The wait for this season was the longest so far and so the expectations were logically the biggest. But it was well worth it. The third season is dope. Eight fantastic episodes, which again make use of everything that this series is famous for. In the beginning, the season relies mainly on the 1980s atmosphere, before the story fully unravels in the second half. It was great to see the crowd around El again, even though they’re getting older like the rest of us. In addition, I liked how during this season, I’ve grown fond of certain characters I would’ve never expected to like. I was really sad at the end. And as this season was very heavy on emotions, I must say that the third season is the best and most memorable thing I’ve seen as far as series go this year. I can’t wait for the next season!
