Okay. First, let me confess, I didn't want to watch it because I've a little 'uggghhhh' feeling inside towards zombie-type movies, maybe because they don't make sense at all. That's why I find most zombie movies as silly. But Stranger Things, wow, this is not like conventional zombies v/s human world movies but rather more advanced & immersed version of that.

Stranger Things takes you back to the '80s where a couple of friends & families of Hawkins, a fictional town based in Indiana, becomes the victim of a flunked scientific experiment carried out by Hawkins Lab. Right from the Season 1, it got me hooked in & completely invested in the story. All lead characters are well developed & are amazingly played by the actors, you may end up get attached with a few & start feeling what they are feeling. I loved the talented child crew that plays Mike, Justin, Will, Eleven, Dustin & Max. They are the real elegance of the show & infuse the right amount of charisma & banter.

The show maintains its unpredictability, thrill & horrors for the first two seasons. Few moments might also leave you on the edge of your seat & get your fingertips cold. But Season 3 is, what I personally think, where the show starts taking off. It's filled up with lots of things which hardly make sense including the non-seriousness in a very tense situation, children playing the role of agent 007 & the monster which reminded me of zombies which I already mentioned I hated. S3 stayed predictable as well most of the time. Still, I loved it all the way through. Loved the ending which was relatively sad.

It's must-watch stuff if you love being startled. Stranger Things is scary, fierce, thrilling, and will leave your heart pounding in the chest. I would keep it at 9/10.
