This is the horror/sci-fi show everybody should watch, even if they detest either horror or sci-fi. If you don't like BOTH of those... I'm sorry, but you're boring. There is so much going on in this series that makes it feel real to the viewer despite the wacky themes, that it would be hard to not find the series endearing.

Cons:
A weak episode or two from season to season that detracts from the stellar story the Duffer brothers have brought to screen. (-2)


A bit of a heavy-handed focus on trauma that when combined with the period-specific lore will leave the series feeling less impactful in the future. (-1)


Pros:
