Stranger Things is what I consider to be the best Netflix original series to date. Not only does it include references to the works of Steven Spielberg, Wes Craven, Stephen King, and many other prominent creators of the 70s and 80s, But also features relate able, and well developed characters that are all given so much to do. No one in the series feels unnecessary or just thrown in, they all have good character motivation and they don't just do things for no reason. Even when a character does do something that is kind of dumb you can at least see where there coming from.

There are much more things about this series that's great, but, I don't want to spoil anything, and I kinda wanna keep this as short as possible, so all I can say is that if you're a fan of any of the writers and directors I previously named or just science fiction in general, then this series is definitely for you.
