Stranger Things is simply amazing - the CGI, the acting, the writing--every aspect of it just enraptures you in the story.

The show has a very wide viewing appeal--anyone from ages twelve to fifty can connect with the characters and the nostalgic setting.

The amazing cast of extremely talented young actors is probably what makes the show stand out the most - the casting directors did their job perfectly. It's ridiculously hard to find decent teen actors, but Mille Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Sadie Sink, are the best actors of their generation, and I'm sure many will agree with me when I say I can't wait to see what performances they will nail in the future.

The Duffer Brothers created a fantastic world and every line is purposeful and masterfully sculpted.

The only downside of this show has, in actuality, little to do with the show itself - it is the people who obsess over it. Many have been deterred from watching it in the first place because of the sheer amount of people who talk about it in a way that is actually pretty gross.

Everything about the fandom aside, though, Stranger Things is amazing, and, while it might not be quite deserving of the popularity it has received, is still entertaining and fantastic.
