The 80's aren't so much a scene as a character in this show. The town and the kids are almost from a fairy tale that isn't old enough yet to be lore. The first season deals with a boy being stolen and a girl being found. A small group of friends begin to see that their town is gateway to something more. The girls origins are as mysterious as the missing boy, but she is the key to returning him. Soon they have to travel to a place of darkness to save their friend. The first season is scary and sweet. You will feel anger and mistrust towards some characters in the beginning and then end up liking them in the end. The ending is as unpredictable as everything else in this movie. It does get boring at times and the plot wanders, but It is redefining scary shows. The friendship among the young actors brings a ton of chemistry to their characters and elevates a true sense of humanity and what its like to be a kid. I just started season two and its just so great. Watch it. Watch it now.
