I love this series!

One of the best things about TV series such as this is that they have the time to develop multiple characters and Stranger Things does just that. Every character introduced throughout the entire series has a solid ark, which is impressive considering the sheer amount of them.

There's always the risk of boring/confusing the audience when you're developing so many unique characters at once but Stranger Things does it masterfully with a complicated but engrossing plot.

The visuals also help push you through each series. For a sci-fi series it never feels like it's a CG show, it's obviously present but the show is dominated by immersive in-camera sequences with incredible lighting combinations.

The show uses the teal and orange colour scape of the 2010's to death but they make it work.

The acting is absolutely amazing from such a young cast.

Sound design? Absolutely brilliant.

My only critique however is that they seem to be too committed to certain main characters. Maybe Game of Thrones made us all addicted to the suspense induced by the constant feeling that our main protagonist will suddenly be killed off, but Stranger Things seems to trivialise death in latter seasons to keep main characters involved even when the plot demands that they shouldn't be.

I know more Stranger Things is on the way, and I'm here for it but I do hope they invoke a little 'G. O. T' and allow the story to take precedence over the character.
