It is not hard to see why a show like Stranger Things has captivated so many and I am glad so many are taken by it. The mystery, build up, supernatural elements that is woven together by a nostalgic 80s theme has proven to be a successful mix.

One of strengths of this show is it perceived mainly from the view of a few close friends in their small town. This gives the viewer a simple and easy lens to watch and enjoy the whole mystery unravel. We do not have to play catch up from a complicated point of view but see the world from a simple black and white view. The performances are great and the characters are memorable, some are clearly better than others. A strong and enjoyable show, cannot wait for season 3.
